WiMAX Network Covers Rural Costa Rica

Costa Rican wireless broadband services operator, IDNet says that it has deployed a WiMAX network based on infrastructure kit supplied by Redline Communications. The project represents the first live private WiMAX network operating in the 3.3 GHz licensed spectrum in Costa Rica.

IDNet chose Redline's RedMAX family of WiMAX products to enhance its current enterprise networks and provide value-added advanced data, internet and application services to existing and new customers located in areas that were previously difficult to service. RedMAX base stations have been deployed in the urban areas of San Jose, Heredia, Alajuela, Cartago and the rural areas of Liberia, Santa Cruz, Puntarenas, San Ramon, Ciudad Quesada, Guapiles, Limon and Perez Zeledon.

IDNet continues to roll out its WiMAX network with the goal to provide services nation-wide by the end of 2008.

"I've worked with Redline's broadband wireless products for the past five years for a range of applications. The positive experience and feedback from our customers made it an easy choice to select Redline's RedMAX products for IDNet's WiMAX network," said Juan Carlos Pacheco, CEO of IDNet. "Even under extreme weather conditions and in remote areas of Costa Rica, Redline's products prove to be reliable and continue to outperform and maintain coverage and high speed connections."
