From Intel to Wintel, Mad Max to Wimax
Think of a centralised billing mechanism for all
your bills of water, electricity, gas and even broadband. Sounds weird? Huh? But in the near future, this ungainly possibility will turn out to be a perquisite. Yes, you heard it right! The ministry of telecommunications, by flagging the current year as the “year of Broadband” is looking forward to the target of achieving 20 million broadband subscribers by 2010, which just amount to 0.3 million presently.
The major telecom equipment manufacturers have plans on floor to manufacture Wimax equipments in India. Leading the way is the world’s number one computer chip manufacturing company, Intel which is in fact going the ‘Wintel’ way by introducing Wimax technology in all Intel systems by January 2008. It has recently announced the introduction of ‘MONTEVIA’ - a notebook, which supports both Wi-Fi and Wimax. Intel also plans to install Wimax in devices such as digital camera, music players and games consoles by 2009. “While static Wimax is well on the cards, we await the standards for mobile Wimax and look forward for early approval of standards by ITO,” informs Vikram Tewatia. CIO, CII.
Reliance, Sify, C-Dot, Mind Tree, VSNL, HCL Infinet are also making a beeline. Gadgets to look forward are home PC’s, PDA mobiles, landlines and even cameras. Phones are expected to work on voice-GSM and for broadband, they will be subjected to Wimax technology. A Wimax enabled Nokia N800 phone, for instance, is on the anvil. “Whenever there is data requirement, wireless technology will always be in great demand,” says Raj Yadav, Regional Sales Director, South Asia of Aperto Networks, which is laying Wimax infrastructure for BSNL.
The biggest advantage that WiMax offers is a large network range spanning up to 10 km. “Wimax is not good for corporate technology. We can consider Wimax for SME segment although,” says Nadeem Khan, Deputy Director, IT, CII. Surely this is one area to watch out for in the coming year.
