CityLink Selects Redline's RedMAX Solution for WiMAX Network in Cambodia

By Arun Satapathy

CityLink, a Cambodian Internet service provider, has chosen Redline's WiMAX Forum Certified RedMAX products for use in its multi-city network.
“To meet growing demand for broadband services throughout Cambodia, CityLink required a WiMAX solution that could support a high capacity of users while enabling us to deliver the service packages that meet our customers' needs,” said Rotha Chhay, CEO at CityLink, in a statement.

Chhay continued: “Redline's true open WiMAX (News - Alert) system, with its ease of installation, enabled us to quickly and cost-effectively integrate RedMAX with our existing wired network and immediately offer WiMAX services to our subscribers.”

CityLink has already initiated its two-city, phased deployment in Cambodia's capital city of Phnom Penh and is currently serving hundreds of business and residential subscribers.
The Internet service provider allows its WiMAX subscribers to choose from a variety of service packages, including WiMAX@Night, WiMAX@Home and WiMAX Unlimited.

CityLink also plans to extend its RedMAX network to the tourist city of Siem Reap, a popular tourist destination. The company expects to significantly increase its subscriber base by expanding its network to ten additional cities next year.

CityLink is one of the most recent service providers in Asia to adopt WiMAX technologies as way of expanding its communications network. The CityLink deployment is being managed by ECOMM Tech, a systems integrator and Redline Certified Silver Partner.

“Redline has helped carriers around the world to install and deploy reliable, profitable WiMAX networks to deliver the advanced services its customers need,” said Kevin Suitor, vice president of marketing and business development at Redline Communications (News - Alert) Group, in a statement.

Suitor continued: “There are now more than 150 deployments of our WiMAX Forum Certified RedMAX products worldwide, 49 of which are revenue-generating commercial networks. Working with ECOMM Tech, CityLink has planned a professional WiMAX network that we expect will generate a rapid return on investment.”

Benjamin Fang, Business Manager, ECOMM Tech, added: “Redline's RedMAX WiMAX offering have proven to be a cost-effective and reliable solution for expanding and enhancing communications networks. CityLink’s well-planned WiMAX strategy will enable its customers to benefit from true broadband access.”

Redline’s RedMAX Base Station (AN-100U) supports voice, video, and prioritized data traffic, enabling long-range, high-capacity wireless broadband networks. The company’s WiMAX products also include the RedMAX Indoor Subscriber Unit (SU-I) and Outdoor Subscriber Unit (SU-O), both designed for enterprise and residential services.

The RedMAX 4C, which operates in the 2.5 GHz and 3.5 GHz spectrum bands, is designed to conform to 802.16e Certification Wave 2 requirements.
