In June Intel unveiled the new 3.5GHz WiMAX-enabled notebook at WiMAX Forum Global Congress in Amsterdam that became the world’s first public demonstration of future Intel 3.5GHz WiMAX solutions.
In July WiMAX Forum certified the new Intel WiMAX/WiFi module which named Intel Centrino Advanced-N+ WiMAX 6250 codenamed Kilmer Peak.
Computer World recently reported that “Kilmer Peak is in production and will launch with the Calpella Arrandale notebook platform solution in Q1 2010,” Intel spokesman Barry Sum wrote in an e-mail, adding that the chipset will support the three WiMAX profiles.”As for the availability of notebooks with Kilmer Peak built in, it’s more appropriate for you to check with the OEMs after the official launch in Q1,” he wrote.
Actually Intel showcased the Kilmer Peak at CEATEC JAPAN 2009. It improved the speed of maximum downstream 20Mbps and upstream up to 6Mbps.
The Kilmer Peak made improvement compare to its predecessor Intel WiMAX/Wi-Fi Link 5150.Both has a 2X2 MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) and 1×2 array ( one transmit, two pick-ups antenna).

The Intel Centrino WiMAX 6250 comes with PCIe Minicard (MC), we don’t have any information whether Intel will provide Half-mini card (HMC) version or not.
