GO Networks' Mobile Broadband Wireless Wi-Fi Solution to be Piloted in
Brazil
(Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)
GO Networks, a subsidiary of NextWave Wireless, announced that the
state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, will pilot GO Networks' Mobile
Broadband Wireless Wi-Fi solution in the city of Paraty.
The pilot will help local authorities determine the range, quality and
price-performance requirements for municipal wireless broadband
networks in cities throughout Brazil. The pilot will require the
deployment of GO Networks' MBW 2100 Micro and MBW 1100 Pico
Cellular-Mesh Wi-Fi base stations which utilize the company's advanced
xRF adaptive beamforming smart-antenna technology to deliver superior
network performance.
"The proven flexibility, quality, and performance of GO Networks'
smart-antenna, wireless-mesh Wi-Fi technology is ideal to meet the
needs of Brazil's municipalities," said Rafael Steinhauser, president
of NextWave Wireless - Latin America. "We are excited by the
opportunity to work on this very important pilot. GO Networks' global
knowledge and experience in implementing highly capable and
cost-effective wireless broadband solutions will play a big part in the
success of this trial and in future deployments in cities throughout
Brazil."
Overall coordination for the trial, called Paraty Digital, will be
managed by PRODERJ, the information technology organization for the
state of Rio de Janeiro. PRODERJ will be responsible for providing a
public internet service through the Rio state data communications
network (Infovia RJ), will establish a customer telecenter, and will
develop tourist information kiosks that utilize the new wireless
network. NextWave will build and configure the core network using GO
Networks equipment for Wi-Fi gateways and base stations. The
municipality of Paraty will be responsible for on-site equipment at
government centers linked to the project, and provide logistical
support for implementation of the new networks.
"Paraty Digital is an ambitious project, and is an important step
toward realizing our goal of enabling the first Brazilian state to
become 100 percent digital," said Tereza Porto, president of PRODERJ.
"Each of our partners brings exceptional skills to the project.
NextWave's global experience and range of leading-edge capabilities in
wireless broadband technology will help make our goal achievable."
