Novasoft, a company settled in Malaga, is installing a wimax network in Mijas, a town in the Costa del Sol with many rural areas where broadband hasn’t reached yet. This is the first official wimax installation in Andalusia; this Southern region was also the first one in the whole country to experiment with this new wireless technology.The Mijas project aims at interconnecting 22 municipal premises via wimax and offering Internet connection to the rural villages of Entrerríos, Valtocado and Osunillas through wi-fi aerials. Novasoft intends on starting to offer its services from May onwards.Iberbanda was the first company in experimenting with wimax, and, actually, they did so in Andalusia. Last year they started some wimax trials with Alvarion units that incorporate Intel’s Rosedale chip. The Junta de Andalucía (the Assembly of Andalusia) keeps open the project to spread the broadband in all the region via Avia Andalucía.
