UK town, Milton Keynes is all set to reinvent itself as one of the most technologically advanced location in Britain, after becoming the first town to boast a high-speed WiMax wireless broadband network. Telecoms firm Pipex, along with chip maker Intel will blanket parts of Milton Keynes with WiMax, a medium-range version of the popular Wi-Fi technology. Steven Jewell, head of IT for Milton Keynes, said WiMax would be rolled out across the city bit by bit and will commence in four weeks' time.
WiMax will cover kilometres rather than metres, using radio frequency instead of conventional wires to beam the Internet within the town. Telecom firm Pipex said it plans to roll out WiMax in eight UK cities by 2008, led by networks in London and Manchester, but has declined to say how much the total project is expected to cost.
