Intel to Develop Wireless Broadband Chipset
Intel is turning its attention to broadband wireless for use as a "last mile" connection. The company announced plans to develop a chipset based on the 802.16a metropolitan area network (MAN) standard. The chipsets will be compatible with the Centrino Wi-Fi chipset, Pro/Wireless network connections, and network processors for wireless
infrastructure.
MobileInfo Comments and Advisory: Intel
is serious about wireless. It is spreading itself into all of Wi-Fi
and MAN chip product areas. Should TI and others give Intel some
competition in IEEE 802.16 area - good for the industry, good for
Intel and of course, good for the ultimate users - municipalities,
and enterprises with campus like buildings in the same geographical
area.
