| Europe : WiMax will become as important as Wi-Fi. That was the key message from Intel at 3GSM. Intel cited this as the beginning of a "wireless decade," predicting that WiMax will play as big a role in the wireless arena as Wi-Fi is making inroads into in the PC market. Intel president Paul Otellini said that by 2006 the Centrino platform would support wireless standard WiMax and 3G wireless at cpu level, and by 2007 other handset chipsets companies will do too. In 2006, Otellini believes, mobile phones will have the power of a Pentium 3 and support multiple radio standards and three dimensional graphics. By 2008, he predicts almost the entire phone package reduced to three chips small enough to allow for a range of new mobile phone designs. Intel points to a WiMax "inflection point" in 2006 to 2008 timeframe similar to Wi-Fi migration rates, and expects WiMax would be ready in laptop computers by 2006, followed by 3G handsets in 2007. The
company will begin shipping its first WiMax chips later this year. |
