Packet 1 Networks (P1) Malaysia, together with Intel launched the country's first WiMax-Ready 4G laptops today. While P1 has been in the WiMax service in Malaysia for about 2 years now, this is the first time they introduced 4G-ready laptops. Several laptop manufacturers were there to introduce their own WiMaX-enabled laptops and netbooks. Present were Asus, Acer, Dell, Lenovo, MSI and Toshiba and all the laptops had Intel's embedded WiMax + WiFi chip (Centrino Advanced-N + WiLax 6250). The embedded chips can do both WiFi and WiMax but only works one at a time (WiMax on while WiFi off or the other way around but not both). They also took us to a ride around the city on-board a bus where we tested out the WiMax connection on the road using the new laptops. The WiMax connection is enabled using a small software utility installed in the laptops and the provider authenticates each user using MAC address and a unique serial embedded into the chip. It looks like bandwidth capping and throttling is common here in Malaysia. Read more in our articles including "Malaysia gets 1st WiMax built-in laptops" and "AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE announced".
