SANTA CLARA, Calif.-Intel Corp. is showing off its first mobile WiMAX baseband chip. When paired with the company’s previously announced multi-band WiMAX/Wi-Fi radio chip, the offering forms the Intel WiMAX Connection 2300 chipset for laptops as well as other types of mobile devices.
Intel demonstrated the new chipset at the 3G World Congress and Mobility Marketplace trade show in Hong Kong, where Intel’s Sean Maloney delivered a keynote address. Maloney, head of Intel’s sales and marketing unit, predicted that the WiMAX Connection 2300 will “help speed the deployment of mobile WiMAX, and accelerate the availability of a new wave of ‘personal broadband’ laptops and mobile devices that deliver the real Internet.”
Maloney showed a laptop with 802.16e-2005, 802.11n and HSDPA capabilities successfully accessing the Internet at broadband speeds over a mobile WiMAX network.
Intel said it will now focus on validating and testing its newest chip. Samples are expected to be available in late 2007.
