Eastern Europe, perhaps driven by high prices of natural state-run telecom monopolies and segregation of Web traffic into local (cheap) and foreign (requiring outbound connections, and thus expensive), are quick to jump onto WiMAX bandwagon. Belarus will get some test WiMAX deployments by the end of the year, TeleGeography reports.
NewsFactor elaborates on WiMAX projects around the world:
Intel is providing its PRO/Wireless 5116 broadband interface chipset, previously known by its codename Rosedale, for the WiMax equipment being used by operators in France, Mexico, South America, the Philppines, and Eastern Europe. Infrastructure for the new networks is being built by Airspan, Alcatel, Alvarion, and Redline Communications.
