This can be delivered to customers in business and rural areas using WiMAX For the first time there has been a huge step forward with a technology to address last-mile broadband connectivity. There is no reason to think that new technology roll-outs would be immune Wireless phone networks are evolving quickly and have relative ubiquity of coverage when compared to WiMax Wireless data technology called EV-DO, already in use on wireless phone networks, is predicted to have future speeds as fast as 15 to 20 megabits per second.
Only a very small number of Ghanaians are Internet broadband customers — according to the National Communciations Authority NCA , as of March 31st there were only 3, Internet broadband customers, which represents a mere 0. As of , 2. Backers hope that the roll-out hwill be the first ever nationwide deployment.
High consumer demand, coupled with poor DSL access and long customer connections, meant that Ghana was ripe for mass market, rapid install, of broadband wireless services. Mobile WiMAX has the advantage of the ability to be deployed in areas that haven't been built out with existing broadband and telecommunications infrastructure such as DSL and cable broadband.
Internet Ghana, a leading Internet and data service provider, will deploy the nationwide network. Market testing started in Accra, with Internet Ghana offering a weekend of free access to existing subscribers of its current mobile wireless broadband product in July The company has been offering a Broadband Wireless Access BWA service for a number of years, but in April it announced the roll-out of WiMAX-ready equipment to provide high-speed data services to corporate and residential customers in the city of Kinshasa.
The president of Microcom, Mr. Leon Ntale, explains that the move to WiMAX wireless broadband is the most cost-effective means of providing high-speed data to customers in Kinshasa.
Perlmutter also outlined how using new technologies developed for low power will help break the affordability barrier by being able to offer a very low-cost solution. Anand Chandrasekher, Intel senior vice president and general manager of the Ultra Mobility Group, described the evolution of the personal mobile Internet, outlined Intel's silicon roadmap that will deliver radical reductions in power requirements and package sizes, and disclosed a range of leading industry players working with Intel to establish the MID and ultra-mobile PC UMPC categories.
After Menlow our next-generation platform -- codenamed Moorestown, will increase battery life an order of magnitude by reducing idle power by 10x compared to Menlow. Menlow is based on Silverthorne a 45nm Hi-k low power microarchitecture-based processor and next-generation chipset, codenamed Poulsbo. Also featured on the Menlow-based customer designs are optional standardized communications capabilities such as Wi-Fi, 3G and WiMAX to enable more of an always-connected experience.
A number of early working prototypes, resulting from the formation of the Mobile Internet Device Innovation Alliance 6 months ago, were demonstrated by Chandrasekher.
Chandrasekher provided a sneak peek at Moorestown that consists of a system on chip SOC design combining the CPU, graphics, video and memory controller onto a single chip.
