Intel says it will bring forward the rollout of its new scheme for long-range wireless internet access.
Cards allowing access to Wimax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) are now expected to be available this year.
Wimax is billed as a successor to the much shorter range wi-fi technology.
Whereas wi-fi range can be measured in yards, Wimax could potentially reach a few kilometres in cities and 16km (10 miles) in open country.
