Intel And ZTE To Deliver Global Wireless Broadband Networks
Intel Corporation and ZTE Corporation are going to jointly deliver global broadband wireless solutions using WiMAX technology. WiMAX is an emerging wireless standard that promises to provide high-speed broadband connectivity for both fixed and mobile wireless networks.
Intel and ZTE have announced plans to cooperate to develop and promote standards and specifications for 802.16-based networks. The companies will also collaborate with regulatory agencies in key global markets for securing adequate radio spectrum for broadband services based on WiMAX technology.
As part of this agreement, ZTE will develop and deploy infrastructure and customer premises equipment using Intel's silicon for WiMAX solutions based on IEEE 802.16-2004 (previously known as IEEE 802.16REVd), and the upcoming IEEE 802.16e standards for mobile networks. "Rosedale" is Intel's first "system-on-a-chip" solution for cost-effective customer premise equipment (CPE) supporting 802.16-2004.
ZTE plans to begin initial deployments of networks based on 802.16-2004 later this year with carriers in China, Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia. ZTE plans to conduct field trials of 802.16e networks beginning in mid-2006.
