WiMAX is a standards-based wireless technology that provides
high-throughput broadband connections over long distances. WiMAX doesn’t
require line-of-sight to provide broadband wireless Internet access.
Airnet is one of around twenty carriers worldwide who are collaborating
with Intel to deploy the WiMAX technology.
“The industry momentum behind WiMAX is remarkable and to have innovators
like Airnet working to bring its benefits to rural New Zealand is very
encouraging” said Philip Cronin, general manager, Intel Australia and
New Zealand. “Standards-based wireless broadband helps enable
technologies which facilitate better education, healthcare, agricultural
productivity and incomes while improving small businesses and
eGovernment access”.
Airnet’s CEO Cecil Averill said “WiMAX will enable us to provide a
communication service that requires less infrastructure to reach more
customers. As the world goes wireless, WiMAX provides the best
technology to offer customers greater access and innovative services.
For example, Airnet will be able to provide customers with added value
by combining Voice and more robust Internet services in attractively
priced packages.”
