"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.

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 Overview
Back to Contents
WiMAX Overview
WiMAX is a next generation wireless network communications technology. 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.

The Search Networks option lets you perform two kinds of searches:
●
●
Preferred
All
Preferred Search
A Preferred search looks for home networks and available networks, first listing the last connected
network. 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.
