WiMAX articles from Om Malik on Broadband

Amended from Om Malik on Broadband: Its like the boy who cried wolf. For the nth time Intel has outlined its WiMAX roadmap. Sean Maloney, head of Intel’s mobility group, told VNU Net that 802.16d WiMax chipsets are now shipping, and that enhanced 802.16e equipment will arrive shortly. (Its a really long shortly!) Maloney added that WiMAX capable laptops are going to be available next year, and by 2008/2009 the company would combine Wi-Fi and WiMax into a single chip, and volume productions would bring the prices down to $25. Maloney dissed 3G technologies saying it has a future, but its a fragmented technology. You gotta be kidding me - maybe this lack of even the basics is the reason Intel struggles in mobility chips. In addition: WiMAX, the hype as expected did get ahead of reality. There are quite a few of issues that remained to be resolved. And with folks getting weary of waiting for what is WiMAX, are now turning to using new terminology: WiMAX ready. I think most companies like Alvarion and SR Telecom don’t want to use simple fixed wireless as a descriptor of their technology because of the negative connotations reminiscent of WinStar and Teligent.
