About WiMAX
WiMAX is the next evolution in wireless Internet, offering the best available mobile broadband experience with service covering entire metropolitan areas.

As service becomes widely available, you'll wonder how you ever lived without WiMAX.
Intel is committed to the future growth of WiMAX, and we're enabling broadband wireless Internet access around the world. Learn more about the worldwide providers who are helping roll out a global WiMAX network.
