Free Wi-Max Offered in Nottingham

A QiMax-based broadband network will be installed to offer free internet access throughout Nottingham. The service will be offered by Nottingham Trent University and will kick off on September 29.


Intel will be teaming up with the university so students and staff will have free access on high-speed mobile broadband. Residents from rural areas of Nottingham will also take advantage of the service. The connection will cover the areas of  Radford, Forest Fields and Haddon Park right after the launch.



WiMAX or the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access is a telecommunications technology that provides for the wireless transmission of data in a variety of ways, ranging from point-to-point links to full mobile cellular-type access. The technology provides broadband speed without the requirement of cables.
