provider of standards-based wireless broadband equipment, today
announced that Chunghwa Telecom, the largest telecommunications service
provider in Taiwan, has successfully completed the first phase of its

Chunghwa Telecom is using
Redline’s WiMAX Forum Certified™ RedMAX Base Station (AN-100U) and
RedMAX Outdoor Subscriber Unit (SU-O) to connect multiple Wi-Fi zones in
urban centers throughout Taiwan. M-Wave Technology Corporation, a
Redline Certified Partner, is managing the network planning and
implementation.
Prior to rolling out their network, Chunghwa Telecom conducted an
exhaustive review of WiMAX products and other available technologies,
including wireless mesh networks. Redline’s RedMAX family of WiMAX
products proved to be the best choice for delivering the speed and
performance required for a city-wide deployment, and will enable
Chunghwa Telecom to easily expand their network and support more users
over time.
In a typical cell radius deployment of three to ten kilometers, WiMAX
Forum Certified™ systems can deliver capacity of up to 40 Mbps per
channel, with a range of three to ten kilometers for fixed and portable
access applications. This is enough bandwidth to simultaneously support
hundreds of businesses with T-1 speed connectivity and thousands of
residences with DSL speed connectivity. The RedMAX system is currently
delivering WiMAX performance over line-of-sight connections of up to
twelve kilometers.
“Following on the success of our WiMAX deployments with major carriers
in many International markets, we once again confirm Redline’s global
leadership in the deployment of WiMAX solutions for the delivery of
advanced communications,” said Keith Doucet, Vice President of Product
Management, Redline Communications.
Redline's RedMAX Family
Redline's RedMAX system is the first complete WiMAX system to be WiMAX
Forum Certified™ for conformance to the IEEE 802.16-2004 standards for
performance and interoperability. The RedMAX carrier class Base Station
(AN-100U) delivers voice, video, and prioritized data traffic to the
indoor and outdoor RedMAX Subscriber Units, which feature the Intel®
PRO/Wireless 5116 broadband interface. The RedMAX family also includes
the RedMAX SU-I indoor units, and will soon include products based on
the IEEE 802.16-2005 standard for mobile WiMAX. Redline’s RedMAX
solutions are designed to operate in a wide range of network designs and
deployments, including point-to-point and point-to-multi-point, in urban
and rural geographies.
