Intel Takes WiMAX to Russia with Comstar
Posted by geoffwhiting on December 20, 2007
Intel continued to show its worldwide interest in all things WiMAX by partnering up with Russian outfit Comstar to build a citywide WiMAX network, and then expand to other cities in Russia. The network is scheduled to launch by the end of 2008. It will allow access to users of laptops and mobile devices that have embedded Intel’s WiMAX/Wi-Fi chipsets. Intel is helping fund WiMAX deployment in high growth markets in Asia and Latin America plus Clearwire in the States and Pipex Wireless in the UK. Anyone think Intel and Google aren’t very, very interested in seeing the Xohm WiMAX network that Sprint is building succeed?
