Ultranet2go, a division of ZOMA Telecom of Mexico, has launched pre-WiMAX service in Veracruz and Aguascalientes Mexico, using pre-mobile WiMAX 802.16e wireless broadband solutions from Navini (pdf). Ultranet2go already offers service in Puebla using Navini’s Ripwave MX solution.
True roaming service between the cities of Puebla, Veracruz and Aguascalientes will be available. This constitutes approx 3,200,000 POPs spread between Puebla (pop. 1,700,000), Veracruz (pop. 800,000) and Aguascalientes (pop. 700,000).
“With Veracruz being a major commercial hub and tourist beach resort, having service that extends offshore is a valuable feature,” Added Zorrilla.
Navini’s wide-area smart beamforming, called Smart WiMAX, is said to provide a powerful, wide range of coverage with easy cellphone-like activation.
