South Korean WiMAX vendor, Posdata says that it has signed commercial supply agreement of Mobile WiMAX systems with Kazakhstan based network, ARNA - including 100 Radio Access Stations (RAS - Wave 2), Access Control Routers (ACR), Network Management System (NMS) and terminals.
ARNA is KazakhstanÃ's largest private service provider of fixed-line telephone and Internet services and it has secured a frequency enabling Mobile WiMAX service in 36 major cities around the country.
Mid this year, Posdata also concluded commercial supply contract with UzbekistanÃ's Super-iMAX, and successfully launched the first commercial Mobile WiMAX service last month in Central Asia. And now, with this commercial supply agreement with ARNA in Kazakhstan, Posdata is expanding its presence into Central Asian market.
Though the demand for high-speed Internet service in Kazakhstan is increasing high spurred by the countryÃ's recent economic expansion, Internet penetration stands at only around 10%.
A Posdata official said, "Through the supply of commercial equipment in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in Central Asia, as well as in Singapore and China, Posdata has again solidified its leadership position as a global Mobile WiMAX vendor in the global market."
