18th November 2003 - CETC-China Communication Co.,
Ltd, China’s largest fixed wireless access network
operator, and Motorola’s Global Telecom Solutions
Sector (GTSS) have announced a contract for the purchase
of Motorola’s unique wireless broadband solution,
including Canopy™ 5.8GHz wireless broadband equipment
and relevant technical services, for a fixed wireless
access network in Nanjing.
The contract marks the first agreement between Motorola
and CETC-CHINA COMM in the wireless broadband service
field, as well as the first purchase by CETC-CHINA COMM
of the 5.8GHz wireless broadband solution, which will
allow the company to provide more economical, convenient
and efficient services.
The solution provided by Motorola will allow users
to access the Internet, e-mail and other data services
in a wireless broadband environment through components
including Motorola’s Canopy system. The Canopy
system uses Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint networks
that can span distances ranging from two to 10 miles
in a multipoint configuration, to as many as 35 miles
in a Point-to-Point configuration.
CETC-CHINA COMM, which has acquired the right to use
the 3.5GHz ground fixed wireless access system frequency
in 29 cities, is the first to operate in the 3.5GHz
frequency for commercial wireless access network provision
and has established 3.5GHz Commercial Bureaus in Nanjing,
Wuhan and three other cities.
As 5.8GHz is a public frequency band, operators need
not purchase frequency resources, so networking with
both 5.8GHz and 3.5GHz products lowers the cost of the
3.5GHz wireless access network. Motorola’s 5.8GHz
Canopy offering is part of an innovative wireless broadband
solution, which is cost-effective, easy-to-install,
efficient and reliable. The ground-breaking deployment
in Nanjing can provide business and residential customers
with Internet connectivity and other data services.
Zhu Shurong, chief engineer, CETC-CHINA COMM said,
“With Motorola’s products and services, CETC-CHINA
COMM Jiangsu is able to quickly set up a wireless broadband
access infrastructure covering Nanjing, satisfying customers’
demands and forming a successful fixed wireless broadband
service model.”
Zhu Jianxing, general manager, CETC-CHINA COMM Jiangsu,
said: “With Motorola’s 5.8GHz broadband access
network solutions and relevant services, our Jiangsu
branch can penetrate the market rapidly and attract
customers eager to have the latest wireless technology
which can tap into the Internet and web-based applications.
The new Motorola system has already helped us increase
revenues and deliver good results.”
“We are proud to be working with the highly respected
CHINA COMM. This deployment may help redefine the market
in China - in both developed and underdeveloped areas,”
said Hoong Ngee Khoon, director, Greater China, Motorola
Professional Services. “Motorola’s wireless
broadband solution, including Canopy, is a cost-effective
way for operators to bridge the digital divide by enabling
data services to quickly reach end users with lower
costs.’’
Motorola’s wireless broadband solutions including
Canopy can easily help operators solve in a cost-effective
way the problem of access for the last mile. This enables
operators’ voice and data services to quickly reach
end users with lower costs and with simpler deployment.
Carriers can quickly enter and seize developed markets
with high user concentration. Importantly, they will
also be able to service customers in more remote areas
such as along highways and railways, and even in mountainous
or under-developed areas with limited or non-existent
telephone and network access.
