CTIA IT & Entertainment, San Francisco, (Oct. 25, 2004) - Intel
and Clearwire, Craig McCaw's wireless broadband services company,
today announced they will jointly develop and deploy wireless
broadband capabilities using WiMAX networks.
As part of the collaboration, Clearwire intends to deploy WiMAX
networks using wireless broadband equipment from NextNet Wireless
(a Clearwire subsidiary) that includes future Intel silicon
products. The joint development agreement with Clearwire is for
future products supporting the upcoming IEEE 802.16e standard for
WiMAX
solutions found in both
infrastructure equipment and notebooks. WiMAX is an emerging
wireless standard that promises to provide high-speed broadband
connectivity in both fixed and mobile wireless networks.
Debt Help The agreement also involves a significant
investment in Clearwire from
Intel Capital, Intel's strategic investment program. The
investment is part of Intel Capital's strategy to invest $150
million in wireless technology to help accelerate adoption of
high-speed wireless networks worldwide. Specific financial terms
of the investment were not disclosed.

Counseling Debt "WiMAX technology has spawned a global community that continues
to gain momentum, and we as an industry have achieved some
important milestones this past year," said Sean Maloney, Intel
executive vice president and general manager of the Intel
Communications Group. "Today's announcement is particularly
important. Carriers, equipment makers and solution providers around
the world are moving quickly to lay the foundation for building
this new global network.
Clearwire, led by wireless pioneer Craig McCaw, launched its first broadband wireless network in August in Jacksonville, Fla., using NextNet technology. The company said that network provided a springboard to future WiMAX deployments." emerging wireless standard that feels more like 4G than the current rollout of 3G wireless data services, " read a research note from Raymond James & Associates Inc. on the news. "We expect WiMAX to have a role in the future of wireless broadband services, but see a late '07, at best, timeframe for broad nationwide network deployments." Rcrnews.com
Consolidation Consumer Debt "Craig and his team have helped shape the communications
industry over the past two decades. Their vision, energy and
leadership will help us achieve the promise that WiMAX technology
offers: widely available, high-speed wireless connectivity using
extremely high volume low-cost technology based on open
standards."

relationship to accelerate the delivery of broadband services to
people across the world," said Clearwire Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer Craig O. McCaw. "Intel is a leader in the
development of WiMAX technologies. And while we have a tremendous
amount of work ahead of us, we are encouraged by our early market
deployments - both at Clearwire and with our friends at NextNet. We
are seeing a positive response to the enormous benefits that
wireless technology provides in giving people the power that comes
from access to information."
You can find Navini in extremely rural deployments, offering last mile connectivity and telecommunication options (voip over WiMAX) to people who would otherwise be completely cut off. In the US, you' -as long as you're lucky enough to live in select cities throughout Texas and across the Bell South service area. I don't know about you, but we're keeping our fingers crossed that 2007 is as good a year for WiMAX as it looks to be for voip.
Debt Free The collaboration with Clearwire is the next step in Intel's
continued development of WiMAX technology beyond "Rosedale," its
upcoming wireless broadband chip for WiMAX* products based on the
IEEE 802.16-2004 standard (previously known as IEEE 802.16REVd).
Rosedale is Intel's first "system-on-a-chip" solution for
cost-effective customer premise equipment (CPE) supporting that
early standard.
No, unfortunately the quality is dependent on Telkom's ADSL network which does fluctuate occasionally in some areas but 98.5% of the time the quality is adequate to make a clear voice call. Can we use some other network like Wireless or WiMAX No, currently Vox's service has been optimised for Telkom's ADSL Network. Vox is currently researching other phones on other technologies like WiMAX, but the products are not consistent enough to launch to the market.
Consolidation Debt Service In addition, in August, Clearwire launched its first broadband
wireless network in Jacksonville, FL. The network, using NextNet
technology, is a precursor to upcoming WiMAX networks and uses
technologies very similar to WiMAX and offers comparable features
that are expected to be available in a full-scale WiMAX network. It
provides high-speed broadband wireless service throughout most of
the greater Jacksonville area. Customers of the Clearwire network
in Jacksonville simply connect their computer to a NextNet modem
with an Ethernet cable, power it up and receive Internet access
anywhere within the Clearwire coverage area. No software
installation or system configuration is required.
Company Consolidation Debt Since last summer, Intel, Clearwire and NextNet engineers have
been working together to develop, test and deploy WiMAX base
stations and customer premise equipment designed and built by
NextNet based on Intel silicon, making NextNet among the first
vendors capable of delivering WiMAX infrastructure.
