Filed in: Technology — October 20th, 2005
Taiwan is planning to build a WiMAX wireless broadband network that cover the whole island.
TAIPEI– Taiwanese government officials said on Monday they plan to make Taiwan the world’s largest testing ground for WiMax, and inked a pact with Intel to work together on the wireless broadband technology.
The government will provide around $209 million in funding for the initiative, in addition to spectrum allocation and other assistance, while Intel is expected to pitch in its technical resources. Next year, the government will provide an additional $32.8 million in research funds specifically for WiMax, a separate budget from the above figure, said Minister of State Lin Ferng-ching.
