Photos: WiMax in action

On a hill just to the west of Stratford-upon-Avon, wireless network vendor Airspan is working with broadband provider Pipex to test Airspan's AS.MAX WiMax system on a farm and the surrounding areas.

ZDNet UK went along to see the technology —  which is being pitched as a major competitor to next-generation 3G networks such as HSDPA — in action.
