Proxim has been selected for a huge WiMAX deployment in Germany. The network will cover over 12,400 square miles (20,000 sq. km.) and will provide service to over 2.5 people upon completion.
Televersa Online, a leading full service telecommunications provider in Bavaria, Germany, will use Proxim Tsunami MP.16 WiMAX products to build its WiMAX network. Televersa acquired a 3.5GHz broadband wireless access license for the network and has already deployed Proxim Tsunami MP.11 base stations and subscriber units as the core communications platform for its wireless “viaAIR” service across the 20,000 sq km region.
Televersa Online, serves a population of 2.5 million people in 750,000 households and businesses throughout South East Bavaria, a mostly rural area covering approximately 20,000 square kilometers (12,400 square miles), from Munich Airport to the Czech and Austrian borders. Many of Televersa’s customers either had no other option for fast Internet access or were dependent on expensive and often insufficient alternatives.
The company’s wireless “viaAIR” service is designed to reach 95 percent of the region’s households and businesses, while wired DSL connections are available to only 60 percent. Following the deployment of a WiMAX network, Televersa Online will be able to offer either wireless DSL or WiMAX depending upon the customer’s location.
Televersa Online has already deployed over 400 Proxim Tsunami MP.11 base stations. License-free MP.11 technology allows Televersa to offer service in regions outside of its WiMAX license as well as offer cost-effective internet connection to areas with less than 50 customers. With the addition of the WiMAX network, Televersa Online will be able to launch a broadband wireless service to even the most remote areas.
