Intel platform will be supported by WiMax

reported. that the next version of Centrino mobile platform, will support wireless standard WiMax.
The development of IEEE 802. 16 (WiMAX) was launched by the Institute of Engineers in the field of electronics and electrical engineering in 2000. The standard requires the use of the frequency range 2-11 GHz. The maximum data transmission rate can reach 70 Mbit / s, and the range of - 50 km in the absence of direct line of sight. The IEEE 802. 16 is positioned as a means of connecting to the internet wireless local area networks WLAN, and as a replacement for DSL as a ' last mile '. At the same time the capacity of a single base station will be sufficient to service the hundreds of home users.
It is planned that the controller WiMax will be offered as an option for the future mobile platform, Intel, now known under the code name Montevina. Montevina platform has come to replace the Santa Rosa in the second half of next year. In Intel's say that the main element will be the Montevina processor Penryn, manufactured on 45- nanometer technology. In addition, Intel emphasized that the Montevina components will be the size of about 40% fewer components Santa Rosa.
Also at IDF 2007, Intel also announced a new hardware platform Ultra Mobile Platform 2007 to ultraportables and mobile Internet devices. The composition of Ultra Mobile Platform 2007 includes a processor with a frequency of 800 MHz and chipset 945GU Express graphics controller with built-in.
