Intel: Montevina mobile platform with WiMax support in 2008
On September 18–20, 2007, IDF was finally confirmed to release a new mobile platform from Intel, dubbed Montevina . 
In his speech on September 19, David Perlmutter ( David Perlmutter ), senior vice president of Intel's Mobility Group, described the users of mobile devices as “people with insatiable appetites,” terribly hungry for even greater mobility and communication skills.
Intel meets these appetites with Montevina, the next-generation mobile platform that includes DDR3 memory support, Blu-ray drives and HD-DVDs, as well as an integrated Wi-Fi / WiMax module, called Echo Peak.
In fact, this means that laptops on the Montevina platform will work longer on a single battery charge, faster, with the support of the latest optical media standards, and are likely to be ready to join the latest generation wireless networks.
Big plans: Paul S. Otellini , executive director of Intel, said that 150 million people connected to WiMax networks in 2008, 750 million in 2010 and 1.3 billion in 2012 is a reasonable forecast for the development of technology.
“We are at the beginning of a new global network that is evenly distributed and integrated across the globe, with mobile devices ready to be connected,” said Otellini.
What will WiMax be for the end user? Intel CTO Justin Rattner ( Justin Rattner ) believes that the implementation of technology will be the same as broadband access today in homes for the PC - but - wherever you go, whatever you do and - without wires. This, Rattner said, “will change the paradigm of mobile devices.”
On the other hand, Dewayne Hendricks ( Tetherless Access ) does not recognize WiMax as a technology that may be of interest to users: the existing third generation standards (3G) and Wi-Fi are already working and are not too inferior in terms of WiMax capabilities.
“If the operators are deploying 3G, and they are doing it quite actively, why do you need WiMax?” Hendrix asks. “The fact is that this technology has come too late and at the moment there are already working and fixed communication standards in the market. I just do not see a place for WiMax. ”
Sriram Viswanathan , vice president of Intel Capital is not worried. “If there is no demand for technology yet, the emergence of WiMax-enabled devices will undoubtedly spur it on and accelerate the introduction and development of the technology as a whole.”
Anyway - the summer of 2008 for wireless technologies will be hot. You are ready?
