"IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL USERS OR DISTRIBUTORS: CONTENT IN DEVELOPMENT Intel wireless LAN adapters are engineered, manufactured, tested, and quality checked to ensure that they meet all necessary local and governmental regulatory agency requirements for the regions that they are designated and/or marked to ship into. Because wireless LANs are generally unlicensed devices that share spectrum with radars, satellites, and other licensed and unlicensed devices, it is sometimes necessary to dynamically detect, avoid, and limit usage to avoid interference with these devices. In many instances Intel is required to provide test data to prove regional and local compliance to regional and governmental regulations before certification or approval to use the product is granted. Intel's wireless LAN's EEPROM, firmware, and software driver are designed to carefully control parameters that affect radio operation and to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC). These parameters include, without limitation, RF power, spectrum usage, channel scanning, and human exposure. file:///C|/ebro_shilo/Echo%20Peak%20P%20drawings/Wimax_User_Guide/index.htm (2 of 3)4/7/2008 10:10:51 AM Contents For these reasons Intel cannot permit any manipulation by third parties of the software provided in binary format with the wireless LAN adapters (e.g., the EEPROM and firmware). Furthermore, if you use any patches, utilities, or code with the Intel wireless LAN adapters that have been manipulated by an unauthorized party (i.e., patches, utilities, or code (including open source code modifications) which have not been validated by Intel), (i) you will be solely responsible for ensuring the regulatory compliance of the products, (ii) Intel will bear no liability, under any theory of liability for any issues associated with the modified products, including without limitation, claims under the warranty and/or issues arising from regulatory non-compliance, and (iii) Intel will not provide or be required to assist in providing support to any third parties for such modified products. Note: Many regulatory agencies consider Wireless LAN adapters to be "modules", and accordingly, condition system-level regulatory approval upon receipt and review of test data documenting that the antennas and system configuration do not cause the EMC and radio operation to be non-compliant."

WiMAX is similar to WiFi, except that WiMAX provides high-speed, broadband access over a much larger area. For fixed WiMAX stations, the range of coverage may be up to 30 miles. WiMAX networks also enjoy less radio interference than Wi-Fi. Notebook computers and Mobile Internet Devices enabled for WiMAX service can access the Internet when WiFi hotspots are not available. WiMAX service can let a mobile user, for example in a bus, access the internet and remain connected as the bus moves across the city. WiMAX Benefits WiMAX provides access to the Internet in more places than current WiFi hotspots. WiMAX serves mobile users with a broader range of wireless coverage. High-speed connections provide access to richer content, an improved user experience, and more complex media and gaming.

This search is best if you have not left the area where you last connected to a WiMAX network. A Preferred search is faster than an All search, and consumes less battery power. The search results are displayed in the Network List. All Search An All search looks for all WiMAX networks present in the area. This includes all available networks and un-activated networks. The search results are displayed in the Network List. By default, available networks are listed first. An All search may take approximately thirty seconds to two minutes, depending on the number of networks detected. An All search consumes more battery power than a Preferred search.
