South Australian ISP Internode has set up a WiMax service to provide broadband access to the Yorke Peninsula region west of Adelaide, but not before its new infrastructure was almost built over.
WiMax is well on track to becoming an important part of the fixed broadband market, but its future in the mobile space is much less certain, according to a new report from research group Strategy Analytics.
Wireless broadband provider Unwired is preparing a move to new Wi-Max technology from early next year by investing in 802.16e-programmable equipment.
Broadcaster Seven has secured over 90 percent ownership of WiMAX spectrum holder Unwired, and will now proceed to compulsorily acquire the remaining shares in the company.
BT's radical plan to upgrade its telecommunications network to cope with the demands of a converged world will rely on the latest wireless technologies.
Will WiMax ever get a stronghold in Australia? The answer, it seems, depends on who you ask. This week's Twisted Wire puts the question to those in the know.

Life may be like a box of chocolates -- but telecoms right now is gearing up to be a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, as service providers seek increasingly novel ways to blend their offerings.

Much-hyped broadband wireless technology won't get its big break for another five years, analysts say.
With US cellular operator Sprint Nextel and WiMax provider Clearwire suspending their partnership to build a new nationwide wireless network using WiMax, the future looks precarious for the much-hyped technology that was supposed to revolutionise the mobile Web.
What technology can blast data up to seven times faster and a thousand times further than Wi-Fi?
A key electronics industry group has approved a significant standard for wireless broadband specifications known as "WiMax," giving a boost to a technology proclaimed as a breakthrough for cheap high-speed Internet access.
The emerging broadband wireless standard WiMax will address some of the problems with current technology and take wireless to a whole new level.
Intel has confirmed that it has pulled the plug on all plans to add 3G to its Centrino notebook platform. From now on, says the chipmaker, it's WiMAX all the way.
Intel is picking up the pace on introducing 802.11g technology into its products, as the emerging wireless networking specification gathers customer and standards support.
Plans are being made to introduce new technologies that will increase reliability, security, and speed to wireless networking. Here are some of the technologies to consider when planning the future of your wireless network.
While the speed and pricing plans make it appealing for those who aren't deskbound, Unwired's Wireless Card is cruelled by the lack of true mobility and the Sydney-only coverage, which itself is undeniably patchy.
