Terremark's NAP selected as critical facility for the back-end IT infrastructure.

Terremark Worldwide, Inc., a provider of managed IT infrastructure services, today announced it was selected to provide core infrastructure solutions to WiMAX, a 4G network solution which delivers wireless broadband internet beyond Wi-Fi. The company claims that with wireless high-speed broadband connectivity, WiMAX-enabled laptops and mobile devices provides connectivity to the Internet easily with a cell phone service.

It articulates that laying the foundation for broad and cost-effective deployment of WiMAX technologies, companies including Intel are helping to deliver mobility for Internet-connected devices. The company states that with speeds similar to DSL or cable and faster than using cell phone service to connect, WiMAX will allow access to data-intensive applications, including streaming media on the Internet, live video conferencing, mobile TV and more.

"The selection of the NAP of the Americas for the back-end infrastructure of WiMAX further validates our facility as one of the most important Internet exchanges in the world," said Manuel D. Medina, Terremark's Chairman and CEO. "We are excited to help revolutionize the way people access content on the Internet."
