2.3GHz, 3.5GHz WiMax with Kilmer Peak

After keeping operators and users alike waiting for nearly a year, Intel has begun production of a wireless chipset, called Kilmer Peak, that will support three versions of WiMax, 2.3GHz, 2.5GHz and 3.5GHz.

Intel's current WiMax chipsets only support the 2.5GHz version of WiMax, which is used markets like Japan, the U.S. and Taiwan. The company doesn't yet support the 2.3GHz profile, which is used by operators in South Korea and Malaysia, or the 3.5GHz version used in Pakistan. That will change with Kilmer Peak.
