FairPoint Selects Nortel's WiMAX Network Solution
Posted on: Wednesday, 29 October 2008, 12:00 CDT
US-based FairPoint Communications has selected Nortel's WiMAX network solution as one of the access platforms to provide high-speed internet in Northern New England with equipment from Airspan Networks.
According to Nortel, it will provide FairPoint with an end-to-end fixed WiMAX solution (802.16d) that will provide broadband to homes and small businesses over high-speed wireless connections. Rather than build or upgrade wired connections to homes in remote areas, a small WiMAX terminal, placed at customers' homes or businesses, will allow them to access the wireless WiMAX network in the same way they would plug into a wireline network.
Scott Wickware, general manager of WiMAX at Nortel, said: "Nortel's WiMAX solution will provide FairPoint with everything it needs - the speed to support today's popular online applications, the coverage to reach remote areas, and the services to keep it all running efficiently."
