Pipex
Wireless, a joint venture between Pipex Communications plc and Intel
Corporation, has announced that it is about to deploy a trial WiMAX network in
Milton Keynes
According to the
wireless broadband provider, the trial has been designed and planned in close
cooperation with Milton Keynes Council, which already has an existing broadband
supply relationship with the company. Trial base stations will be situated in
areas of the town to evaluate WiMAX product propositions to both business and
residential customers and to provide coverage where DSL broadband provision is
currently limited or unavailable.
Pipex plans to
commence tests in December 2006 and continue for six months. The trial will
initially be offered to approximately 500 users, providing connection speeds of
between 2Mbps and 10Mbps.
The company recently completed a WiMAX
trial in Stratford-upon-Avon.
