<title>WiMAX Telecom Group,</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        WiMAX Telecom Group believes the technology will be of increasing importance for transmission from all moving vehicles and ships in coastal waters especially. From 40 kilometres (25 miles) off shore, they can be linked via the Internet and hence reachable for sending messages or for VoIP telephony.

With branches in Switzerland, Austria, Slovakia and Croatia, WiMAX Telecom claims to be Europe's only independent, multinational provider of WiMax services. 

It holds national licences in Austria and Slovakia, where its active networks already serve several thousand customers, and has licenses in key regions of Croatia, where the company plans to deploy its network at the end of 2006. <br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/97530">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<description>
        <![CDATA[
        WiBro service is available through Korea Telecom and SK Telecom.

In February 2002, the Korean government allocated 100 MHZ of frequency spectrum at 2.3GHz for Mobile WiBro service. Commercial mobile WiMAX service begins in South Korea, July, 2006, with four areas of Seoul getting coverage first. 

LG Electronics will use a Sequans SQN110 chip in its subscriber units. Samsung's dual-mode handset, due the first half of '07, will combine WiMax and GSM while Samsung also has a dual mode WiBro/CDMA phone. Samsung's M8000 and H1000 use a PDA form factor.

SK Telecom and Wavesat, leading developer of WiMAX chipsets, announced today an agreement to cooperate in the development of WiBro/OFDMA technology for next generation mobile devices based on the WiBro 802.16e S-OFDMA profile.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/97541">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Unwired Australia</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Unwired Australia is the world's largest portable broadband wireless network (with over 50,000 subscribers to date), using pre-standard Navini deployments after their launch in August 2004.

The Ripwave-MX dual-mode CPE, which starts shipping in Q4 2005, and the Ripwave-MX dual-mode PCMCIA card, which is targeted for 1Q 2006, will both be software upgradeable to Navini's 802.16e system. 

Dual-mode means that the CPE and the PCMCIA card will be capable of switching between the current pre-WiMAX mode and 802.16e mode.

Navini's antennas form individual, independent signal beams optimized for a customer's location, distance and QoS. With 80 simultaneous beams, this capability can be shared across a great many customers on each site.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/97544">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Taiwan's government plans to blanket the country with wireless networks that are integrated with cellular phone services by 2008 as part of an ambitious $1.1 billion project, called M-Taiwan, reports Network World.

the M-Taiwan project has two principal goals: to dramatically expand wired and wireless broadband Internet access in Taiwan and to give local industry a leading position in the development of products and high-bandwidth services that integrate wireless LAN connectivity with support for GSM mobile networks.

The first WLAN-GSM services will be rolled out by Taiwanese operators during the first quarter of 2005, says Network World. Those services will initially be available in three cities - Taipei, Taichung and Kaoshiung - and will be expanded to a further seven cities by 2008. <br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/97547">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>India's VSNL: WiMAX in 65 Cities</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        India's VSNL (Tata Group), is using Aperto Networks WiMAX base stations, for the rollout of the carrier’s multi-service broadband wireless systems in over 65 cities across the country. 

In a statement, VSNL said this is part of an initial deployment phase with the goal of growing the network to cover over 200 cities within twelve months.

Aperto has been working closely with VSNL since 2004 and has been involved in all phases of network design and deployment.

Aperto's PacketWAVE family of base stations and subscriber units are used. VSNL has deployed hundreds of sectors of the PacketWAVE series of products in the 3.3GHz - 3.4GHz band.  
 
All of India's major carriers, Reliance, Bharti TeleVentures, VSNL and BSNL, have acquired licenses in 3.3GHz range and are in various stages of trials and modest commercial deployments. 

However, shortage of spectrum is a serious obstacle. For WiMAX to prosper in India, license holders will need at least 20MHz of spectrum while they currently hold 12MHz or less. 20MHz is a minimum to support wide scale deployments and hence a profitable business case.

Government appears to be serious about solving the problem by releasing some of the spectrum from the departments of Space and Defense. Wireless adoption is essential if the government wishes to meet its ambitious plans

<title>India's Reliance Communications</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Reliance Communications Venturesce (RCoVL) , India’s largest CDMA operator, has caused a stir by applying for GSM spectrum -- raising speculation as to the future of its CDMA buildout.

Reliance has 19.5 million mobile subscribers on its nationwide CDMA network, but it also runs a regional GSM service with 2.2 million subscribers in Northeast India through its Reliance Telecom subsidiary. 

GSM is the dominant mobile technology in India, accounting for 75.29 million of the country’s 101.17 mobile subscribers. 

Industry watchers are particularly focused on the potential fallout for Qualcomm, which collects royalties from its CDMA patents. Reliance dominates the CDMA market in India, holding a 70 percent share with Tata Teleservices, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (BSNL), and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. (MTNL) rounding out the other 30 percent. <br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/97843">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        <![CDATA[
        Samsung will be the exclusive provider of Mobile WiMAX services for Arialink in the Muskegon County region and plans to commercially launch Mobile WiMAX in Muskegon County, Mich., in early 2007. 

The Muskegon County network is a public/private partnership funded by a $2.2 million federal grant from the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development along with a $4.5 million loan from the state of Michigan's Economic Development Corporation. Arialink will also invest $6 million of its own funds to build the network, says CEO Jason Schreiber.

The company has committed to providing high-speed Internet access at speeds of 3 Mbit/s at a cost of $18.99 a month. 

Samsung has plans for similar Mobile WiMAX deployment in Europe and Asia.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/97493">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Service of Digital Communications (SCD)</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Brazil is the most active Latin American nation, along with Mexico, in promoting broadband fixed wireless services and testing portable or mobile extensions. 

The Brazilian administration has a program called Service of Digital Communications (SCD), which aims to bring internet access to remote areas. Intel is working with government agencies and will have a WiMAX pilot, probably in partnership with Siemens, running by the end of this year. 

The network will not only serve rural communities but will generate most of its revenue from business users and providing services to ISPs and hosting companies.

Also in Brazil, Neotec, a consortium of mobile operators, has tested a NextNet-based system in urban areas, in the MMDS spectrum that many Brazilian operators own for television services.

The Brazilian TVA project with Samsung may be a mixed blessing as far as Intel is concerned. While any victory for pre-WiMAX technologies is good for the chip giants agenda, it has no interest in seeing the Korean giants, which either make their own chips or source them from their own associates, becoming dominant on the global stage<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/97497">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        IBAX Group plans to use Navini pre-802.16e Ripwave mobile broadband gear to launch and expand municipal and resort networks in Italy, with a view to an eventual national network of metrozones for public administration.

“We are addressing the digital divide issues that exist in Italy,” said Ugo de Fusco, CEO of IBAX. “WiMAX is the answer bringing broadband and new mobile applications to vast areas of the country, not previously possible with ADSL or ISDN.”

This initial order for Navini’s Ripwave MX solution includes 200 dual-mode base stations, which have a software upgrade to 802.16e, the largest MX order to date in Europe. The Ripwave-MX BTS, targeted for 1st half of 2006, will be software upgradeable to 802.16e and will continue to support the Smart Antenna functionality available from Navini today.

Municipal deployments in Italy are planned in hundreds of municipalities, especially those that attract tourists such as Venice and Siena. <br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/97588">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Navini gear will also be used to cover the entire state of Rhode Island. 

It's the first and only broadband wireless network, for statewide use, through a public-private partnership.

Rhode Island, with just over 1,000 square miles, is an interesting place as a proof-of-concept state," said Saul Kaplan, deputy director of the Rhode Island Economic Development Corp., the agency leading the RI-WINs charge. Two trial networks are currently being established. IBM will take a lead in the pilot project.

"It will be a hybrid network," said Bob Panoff, who has been spearheading the RI-WINS effort. "The core will be WiMAX with Wi-Fi at the edge." 

The network, planned to cover the state's more than 1,000 square miles, is tentatively planned to be in operation in 18 to 24 months or so.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/97589">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Rogers, Bell Canada, Inukshuk in 45 cities</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        
<A href="http://www.inukshuk.ca/anglais/offre.html" target=new>Inukshuk Wireless</a> an equally owned joint venture between Bell Canada and Rogers Communications to build and manage a Canada-wide wireless broadband network licensed by Industry Canada. 

The network footprint will cover over 45 cities and approximately 100 unserved rural and remote
communities across Canada by the end of 2008. 

<A href="http://www.bce.ca/en/news/releases/bcinternet/2006/03/31/73445.html" target=new>The initial phase of the wireless broadband network</a>, available in 20 centres across Canada, will be built in conjunction with
Bell Canada and Rogers Communications.

Based on pre-WiMAX standards, subscribers will be able to access the Internet
and other applications such as voice over internet protocol (VoIP), video
streaming and a variety of data applications. The total investment of the
partnership between Bell and Rogers is expected to reach $200 million by 2008
covering over 100 urban and rural areas.

    The initial phase of the network covers over 5 million households and 40%
of the population and is now available in 20 areas across Canada including
Greater Vancouver Area, Victoria, Red Deer, Calgary, Edmonton, Whitehorse,
Greater Toronto Area, Barrie, London, Windsor, Kitchener-Waterloo, Hamilton,
Ottawa, Gatineau-Hull, Quebec City, Greater Montreal Area, Charlottetown,
Halifax, Fredericton, and St. John's.

    The network leverages existing cellular towers of both Bell and Rogers,
wirelessly connecting customers to the Internet and providing secure data
transmission over licensed spectrum. The new technology is also being deployed
in the United States and Mexico and Inukshuk expects Canadian users to have
access to an extensive North American broadband footprint in the future.

        <![CDATA[
        BT wants to use WiMAX to help support a mobile service based on the technology, but needs a licence to proceed.

PIPEX has transferred its entire 3.6GHz UK spectrum license to PIPEX Wireless to deploy services based on WiMAX. Intel and PIPEX are the company's only shareholders. Pipex, set up in 1991, was the UK’s first commercial ISP and currently serves mostly business customers.

The other UK 3.5 GHz license holder is PCCW. Their UK Broadband is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCCW, the largest telecoms provider in Hong Kong where their broadband service is provided to over 800,000 customers.

Other WiMAX or "pre-WiMAX" trials in the UK include Libera in London, Telabria in Kent, Pipex in Stratford and Brighton's Metranet. <br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/97510">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        Iberbanda, the Spanish broadband telecommunications operator, has completed the first European commercial pilots of broadband and Internet telephony access services using Intel technology for WiMAX.

berbanda’s commercial public WiMAX services, that are expected to launch in the last quarter of 2005, will deliver broadband and Internet telephony services with 10 Mbps bandwidth and more than 30km coverage, enabling the rapid deployment and extension of new broadband networks in areas where xDSL cable cannot reach.

Iberbanda will initially offer its public WiMAX services in rural towns and suburban areas of Andalusia, Catalonia, Castilla y Leon and Navarra, where the company has already run trials and won public bids to build networks without broadband coverage to date. 

Based on Alvarion's  BreezeMAX PRO, that uses Intel’s WiMAX chip, more than 20,000 individuals and companies already enjoy telephony services (VoIP) and high speed Internet access in these regions. <br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/97526">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<description>
        <![CDATA[
        WiBro is Korean Wireless Broadband service based on Mobile WiMAX technology. It is anticipated that the commercial launch of WiBro services in Korea will drive the momentum for Mobile WiMAX technology solution in Asian markets. The WiBro services are expected to offer each user up to 4Mbps down and 2Mbps uplink capability.

 KT, plans to team with Intel to harmonize the Korean WiBro standard with WiMax. Samsung Mobile WiMAX products will be compliant with the WiMAX Forum requirements. Samsung has significantly contributed to the IEEE 802.16e standards and was elected to the Board of Directors of the WiMAX Forum in April 2005.

 Because Korea will likely be the first to have a widespread mobile broadband wireless network when KT launches WiBro in the middle of 2006, it’ll be the place to watch. If KT uses WiMax to essentially boost the speed of its CDMA network and if it meets success, other mobile operators around the globe may think harder about using WiMax themselves.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/97539">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<description>
        <![CDATA[
        In August 2004, Clearwire launched its first broadband wireless network in Jacksonville, FL. The network, using NextNet technology, is a precursor to upcoming WiMAX networks. Clearwire hopes to move from their proprietary (but somewhat portable) system made by their subsidiary NextNet, to a standards-based system based on 802.16e.

In California they currently serve Merced CA,  Modesto CA, Redding CA, Stockton CA. 

Clearwire has secured $900M in financing led by Intel Capital and announced the sale of NextNet Wireless to Motorola. Intel and Motorola said the moves were part of an effort to expand the availability of WiMAX.

Clearwire has launched wireless high-speed Internet service in 27 metro markets, covering more than 200 cities and towns in Alaska, California, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Minnesota, Nevada, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin in the United States.

Overseas, Clearwire has broadband wireless service in Ireland, Belgium, Denmark (under the Clearwire name with Danske Telecom) and Mexico (via partner MVSNet).

<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Portland is building a municipal "city cloud" but VeriLAN, a wireless ISP and contractor, based in Portland, Oregon, has already built one.

In December, 2003, VeriLAN turned on the first commercial pre-WiMAX service in the United States. 
Using Wi-LAN's 802.16a-like gear, mounted on a television tower, it feeds three Vivato phased arrays on a warehouse near downtown Portland, covering a 360 arc. 
They've put a fourth Vivato G panel on the  television tower. 

Wi-LAN's LIBRA gear uses the same W-OFDM technology, with 256 sub-carrier OFDM, that has been adopted by the WiMAX Forum for 802.16a compliance. It can be upgraded in the field when the full 802.16a spec is ready, sometime later this year. Fujitsu and Wi-LAN have been jointly developing a 802.16a chip set for the last 18 months. Unlike ordinary 802.11a/g, which uses 20 Mhz-wide channels, Wi-Lan's WiMax gear uses 10 Mhz channels, providing at least 8 non-overlapping channels between 5.725 GHz to 5.825 GHz.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/97561">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Alvarion system Fights Crime</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Although not a WiMax system, it might come close. 

Six Chicago area communities have deployed a regional mobile broadband network using BreezeACCESS 900 system to support fixed and mobile public safety applications for crime and fire fighting.  It uses only fourteen base stations to cover the entire area.

Connecting approximately 50 police cars and 15 fire vehicles, the network is used for dispatch functions, while enabling mobile access to central databases such as the Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) records. Also providing remote access to several video surveillance cameras. 

Network deployment began last year and has grown incrementally to include additional local jurisdictions.

“Being adjacent to Chicago has its advantages, but it also means we need big city policing on a small city budget," noted Mark Wilkans, lieutenant of the Hodgkins Police Department and chair of the technical subcommittee of the Area-wide Law Enforcement Radio Terminal System (ALERTS) users group, a statewide body focused on officer use of mobile technologies. <br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/97593">Map this on Platial</a><br />
