Intel wins mobile WiMax chip deal with Nokia
By
Intel Corp. said on Wednesday it had won a mobile WiMax chip order from cellphone maker Nokia, which will use its semiconductors in Internet-focused devices from 2008.
Nokia will roll out the first WiMax-enabled Internet tablets using Intel chips in the first half of 2008, a Nokia spokeswoman told Reuters. Mobile WiMax, the high-speed wireless standard, is expected to support Internet access at speeds as much as five times faster than typical wireless networks, though it will be slower than the fastest wired services.
