Intel reforça WiMax

« "Intel Corp. is investing $600 million in Clearwire Corp., a company led by cellular pioneer Craig McCaw, as part  of a $900 million investment that could help spur adoption of a wireless  technology called WiMAX...

"WiMAX is a longer-range cousin of Wi-Fi, the wireless technology that now comes with many laptop computers. It is expected to deliver service at ranges of one to 10 miles — compared with around 150 feet for Wi-Fi —and is being developed for both stationary and mobile Internet access.

"Unlike Wi-Fi, WiMAX is expected to be used with licensed radio frequencies. Clearwireis believed to be the second-largest U.S. holder of frequencies that are suitable for WiMAX, behind  Sprint Nextel Corp.

"Intel, which already held a small stake in Clearwire, said it hopes the $600 million investment by its venture-capital arm, the largest in that unit's history, could  allow Clearwire to deploy WiMAX-based networks faster...

"The more recent investments in Wi-Fi and WiMAX, by contrast, are designed to stimulate demand for laptops and other portables.... Eventually...[Intel] expects one set of communication chips to handle both Wi-Fi and WiMAX, to enable users to remain connected to the Internet as they move around."

And with my laughter all things will be reduced to their proper size. I will laugh at my failures and they will vanish in clouds of new dreams; I will laugh at my successes and they will shrink to their true value. I will laugh at evil and it will die untasted; I will laugh at goodness and it will thrive and abound. Each day will be triumphant only when my smiles bring forth smiles from others and this l do in selfishness, for those on whom l flown are those who purchase not my goods. cheap tiffany co jewelry
