Dubai, Internet City -- Redwood Wireless has selected Dovado as the key
supplier for wireless routers, backhauled by the mobile broadband
technology HC-SDMA (High Capacity Spatial Division Multiple Access),
better known to the public as iBurst. At the ribbon-cutting ceremony
held earlier this week in Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Redwood Wireless
has launched the network with strong network coverage across the city
landscape as well as capacity for many simultaneous residential and
business users of broadband services. The network is also planned for
expansion in terms of coverage and capacity during the summer of 2007.
Redwood Wireless is a member of the international iBurst Assocation. |

“With our service, business executives and Internet users will enjoy
mobile liberty and freedom at true broadband speeds and at affordable,
accessible prices for the first time. And proven iBurst technology from
Kyocera is so reliable and secure it is being standardized for public
safety and emergency use. It truly is Internet At The Speed of Life.”
said Chris Doolittle, Markets Manager for Redwood Wireless.
The DOVADO Wireless Residential Gateway (WRG) connects to the mobile
broadband network via the Kyocera iBurstTMSystem PC Card (PCMCIA) modem
and can share the internet services to many computer and WiFi-enabled
handheld device users as a wireless router. Additional features such as
telephony allow subscribers to use their existing regular analog
telephone sets and fax machines to get the best out of next generation
SIP telephony. The additional value-add is the small and compact design
which can accommodate all the front and back-end communications features
as well as remain software upgradeable in order to accommodate future
availability of PC cards and features.
The WRG can be used as an all-in-one access device within a home, office
or onboard a vessel/vehicle. Wireless operators are able to bundle
competitive voice and data packages as part of their service plan.
The WRG was first qualified and certified for iBurst by Personal
Broadband Australia in November 2006. Since then, the WRG has also gone
online in other expanding iBurst markets such as Azerbaijan, Canada,
Kenya, Lebanon, Malaysia, Norway and South Africa.
“We are extremely pleased to have supplied Redwood Wireless with WRG’s
in time for the launch of their mobile broadband internet service in
South Dakota. Thanks to the ability to share the iBurst internet access
as well as offer a competitive form of telephony, the WRG will allow
Redwood Wireless’s customers to access all of the available services
from within the zone of coverage, be it within a fixed or mobile
scenario.” says Erik Arthur, CEO of DOVADO.
iBurstTMSystem is the fourth separate family of technologies supported
by the DOVADO Wireless Residential Gateway (WRG), succeeding the
previous integration of support for 2G/3G/HSPA, UMTS-TDD as well as
FLASH-OFDM®.
