Intel have disclosed plans to include WiMax support next year in its next-generation ‘Montevina’ platform for notebook computers. Intel released this information at the developer’s forum held in Beijing. News of this was first found at www.techworld.com.
The bigger news for South African users is that the WiMax technology will be replacing things like 3G cellular. So where does this leave South African users? I guess the biggest question of all is: Will SA be ready for WiMax in 2008. And on a more realistic note these technologies will probably only ship to SA in 2009. So this won’t affect users on their current platforms but if you are a must-have technology person and are always buying the latest technology trend, then be sure to double check that WiMax is available because by signing a new 3G contract, or HSDPA as we now know it, you might be caught Internet-less.
The ‘Montevino’ platform runs on a processor code-named Penryn. It will give mobile users access to bandwidth-intensive content such as high-definition videos and music, Intel said.
