Mostly WiMAX-enabled notebook/netbook has built-in Intel WiMAX/WiFi Link 5350 or Intel WiMAX/WiFi Link 5150.Both wireless network adapters operate in the 2.5 GHz spectrum of WiMAX and 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz spectra for WiFi.The WiMAX/WiFi integrated module embedded in Intel® Centrino® 2 processor technology notebooks provides both WiFi and WiMAX networks to enhance today’s mobile lifestyle.
On June 2nd Intel unveiled the new 3.5GHz WiMAX-enabled notebook at WiMAX Forum Global Congress in Amsterdam.A few hours before the doors to the Forum opened, Dennis Sverdlov, CEO of Yota, WiMAX provider in Russia, stood outside the main entrance wearing a headset and talking to a notebook. At the other end of the line was Intel’s CEO,Sean Maloney who, at that time, was delivering his keynote at COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2009.

That was the world’s first public demonstration of future Intel 3.5GHz WiMAX solutions.

There was no official statement about the availability of 3.5GHz embedded solutions but the demo illustrates Intel’s continued technology leadership and commitment to making WiMAX the wireless broadband technology of choice around the world.

Actually there are more 3.5 GHz mobile WiMAX provider than 2.5 GHz mobile WiMAX provider around the world.You can see the comparative maps between 2.5GHz Vs 3.5GHz mobile WiMAX provider by WiMAX Maps (www.wimaxmaps.org).

In April 2009 WiMAX Forum certified 6 new devices including Intel based WiMAX Reference device. The Reference device supporting 802.16e wireless network adapters that operate in the 3.5 GHz band for WiMAX.

Apparently Intel developed 3.5GHz WiMAX-enabled notebook based on this reference device.

WiMAX is heralding a new generation of wireless broadband networks operating in new spectrum allocations. 3.5 GHz WiMAX spectrum has been demonstrated globally to offer a significantly lower price per Hz per population covered than 2.5 GHz spectrum.

Wireless broadband investors would be well positioned with investments in 3.5 GHz spectrum, taking the savings from spectrum expense and applying it toward capital spend in the network displacing the cost of the additional sites and benefiting from the added capacity of the system.

No wonder Intel continues development of 3.5GHz WiMAX module because it will supply the biggest mobile WiMAX deployment and services in the whole world.

Apparently it was a good news for 3.5GHz mobile WiMAX providers around the world such as Netherlands’ aerea and Italy’s AriaDSL. They can expand the business by providing more choices to the subscribers in flexible and convenient connectivity to WiMAX networks to enhance today’s mobile lifestyle.

Watch the behind the scenes video of the live video call over WiMAX using 3.5 GHz WiMAX-enabled notebook between Dennis Sverdlov (in Amsterdam,Netherlands) and Sean Maloney (in Taipei,Taiwan) and also Intel’s Gordon Graylish,VP of marketing for EMEA,talks about WiMAX.
