Unwired Fiji Selects Motorola WiMAX Solution
Unwired Fiji, a Fijian telecom company, has decided to go with Motorola
for its network expansion. Motorola will deploy its end-to-end
802.16e-based WiMAX network. Unwired Fiji wants to offer advanced
broadband services.
The
WiMAX network deployment is expected to be completed during the current
year, and the operator plans to launch services progressively this
year.
"It is
a challenge for us to provide reliable and superior telecommunications
services cost effectively in Fiji, where the population density is low,"
said William Parkinson, chief executive officer of Unwired Fiji.
"Motorola's scalable WiMAX solution provides us with a network upgrade
path."
In
November last year, Motorola had deployed its first
WiMAX trial network
for Vietnam Datacommunications Company (VDC), a member company of the
Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT).
As
WiMAX deployments are gradually spreading,
Thailand is also embracing
WiMAX networks. Tech Mahindra, Redline's systems integrator, planned to
install RedMAX 4C Mobile WiMAX for multi-city networks. Milcom is
deploying the systems at Amata Industrial Park, an industrial hub in
Thailand located outside of Bangkok.
Unwired
Fiji will use the new WiMAX network to offer high-speed Internet access
services to a broad range of consumers and business users. The new
wireless technology will also allow the operator to provide true mobile
broadband services in the next phase of development.
Users
will be able to experience video on mobile devices and enjoy other media
rich applications while they are on the move, realizing the personal
wireless broadband vision in Fiji, says Motorola.
