Motorola for WiMAX Network in East
Malaysia
Motorola
says that REDtone, Malaysia's leading service provider, has launched East
Malaysia's first WiMAX broadband services, using Motorola technology. The
current phase of the WiMAX network covers Kota Kinabalu business district,
enabling high speed Internet access as well as data applications for
enterprises. REDtone is also planning to offer broadband services to the
general public.
In an
effort to expand its broadband services offerings in East Malaysia,
REDtone decided to establish a new network using WiMAX technology, which
ensures quick deployment at a lower cost compared to fixed line solutions.
Motorola
is working with REDtone to supply and deploy WiMAX 2.3GHz equipment at
base sites and install customer premises equipment (CPE) to provide
broadband services in major business districts in the first phase of the
plan.
Besides
providing broadband services to enterprise customers, REDtone is also
planning to work with service providers based in Sabah and Sarawak to
provide broadband services to the general public.
The lack
of capacity is causing slow Internet connection during peak period. The
new WiMAX network will bring additional bandwidth to the areas and improve
overall user experiences, generating more business opportunities for
REDtone and local service providers, says Motorola, which claims to have
21 contracts for commercial WiMAX networks in 17 countries around the
world.
