Intel-based commercial WiMAX networks under way with 24 carriers worldwide - rolling out full commercial deployments in cities as well as suburban and rural communities

Thirteen carriers from around the world are now deploying the world’s first fixed WiMAX networks based on Intel Corporation WiMAX technologies, delivering high-speed broadband access to businesses and residences from Germany to Guatemala. Eleven more carriers are preparing to deploy additional Intel-based WiMAX networks by year’s end.
