BARAMATI (WiMAX Day). On his eighth visit to India, Intel Chairman Craig Barrett announced that Intel will deploy a WiMAX pilot in the town of Baramati in India. Working with Aircel and the Maharashtra government, the pilot will use 3.3 GHz spectrum that covers six kilometres, and will bring WiMAX to four towns with bandwidth speed up to 512 Kbp/s. In a press release issued by Intel, Barrett said that “WiMAX is an inexpensive way to cover a large area and is ideal for rural towns, which have limited access to other infrastructure.” The release also noted that Intel plans to start WiMAX trials in other cities in India, including Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore.
