Motorola Deploys Trial WiMAX Network in Vietnam

Motorola says that it has deployed its first WiMAX trial network for Vietnam Datacommunications Company (VDC), a member company of the Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT), the largest Internet service provider (ISP) in Vietnam.

The launch of the WiMAX service follows the signing of an agreement between Motorola and VDC to commence a technical and commercial WiMAX trial in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City last year. Under the agreement, Motorola will install WiMAX Diversity Access Points and more than 100 customer premises equipment (CPE) in the nationÃ's two largest cities.

"Launching the trial network for Vietnam Datacommunications Company is another milestone in MotorolaÃ's long history of leading WiMAX development in the industry," said Dr. Ray Owen, head of Technology for Asia and general director of Motorola Vietnam. "The WiMAX trial further strengthens our relationship with VDC and offers more choices of broadband access to its subscribers."
