Using WiMAX
Some ThinkPad Notebooks come with a built-in wireless LAN card integrating WiMAX technology.
WiMAX, a long-range wireless data transmission technology based on the 802.16 standard, provides you
with a "last mile" broadband connectivity similar to that offered by cable or ADSL, but without the need to
physically connect a cable to the PC.
To use the WiMAX feature, start Access Connections.
For Windows 7: To start the Access Connections wizard, see Accessing applications in Windows 7, and
follow the instructions on the screen.
