Airnet Deploys WIMAX Networks

Airnet NZ Ltd, Hawke’s Bay

leading wireless Internet Service Provider yesterday began

deploying WiMAX technology throughout its local

network.

Airnet breaks new ground in the New Zealand

communications industry as they work with Intel to deploy

one of the country’s first WiMAX networks.

WiMAX is a

standards-based wireless technology that provides

high-throughput broadband connections over long distances.

WiMAX doesn’t require line-of-sight to provide broadband

wireless Internet access.

Airnet is one of around twenty

carriers worldwide who are collaborating with Intel to

deploy the WiMAX technology.

“The industry momentum

behind WiMAX is remarkable and to have innovators like

Airnet working to bring its benefits to rural New Zealand is

very encouraging” said Philip Cronin, general manager, Intel

Australia and New Zealand. “Standards-based wireless

broadband helps enable technologies which facilitate better

education, healthcare, agricultural productivity and incomes

while improving small businesses and eGovernment

access”.

Airnet’s CEO Cecil Averill said “WiMAX will

enable us to provide a communication service that requires

less infrastructure to reach more customers. As the world

goes wireless, WiMAX provides the best technology to offer

customers greater access and innovative services. For

example, Airnet will be able to provide customers with added

value by combining Voice and more robust Internet services

in attractively priced packages.”
