Pipex Wireless has rebranded and will relaunch with a nationwide rollout of a WiMax network across the UK.

Freedom4 - the new name for Pipex Wireless - will initially target SMEs with the rollout of its symmetrical WiMax service, which it claims will operate at speeds of more than 10Mbps and will have a range of up to 10km.

Freedom4 CEO, Mike Read, said the official launch of Freedom4's products and services is "not that far away", with some form of WiMax service planned to be offered by the end of the year.

Read added pricing plans had not been finalised as yet with further announcements - including a partnership to provide 30,000 wi-fi hotspots in 88 countries - on the cards.
