The Netherlands

• On June 17, 2008 Worldmax launched its WiMAX service in Amsterdam on the 3.5 GHz band, the first commercial WiMAX network in Europe. The network was available anywhere inside the A10 motorway, a ringroad around Amsterdam and promised speeds up to 8 Mbit/s. The service closed down in July 2010 after Worldmax was informed by the Dutch Ministry of Defense that they were causing radio interference with a satellite station owned by the Ministry of Defense. For reasons of national security, they were forced to restrict Worldmax' frequency license. This caused Worldmax to cease their operations in the Amsterdam area IP Specials has since then acquired Worldmax and is offering business to business high speed Wimax connectivity as well as complete wimax IP camera solutions. There also has been a large test rollout for wimax to wifi in city centers for 3G offloading.
