  • WiMAX Broadband Network To Reach 28 Russian Cities

    Enforta BV and Moscow-based InfiNet Wireless, have concluded a deal that will create the largest WiMAX network in the Russian Federation, one that is expected to span 28 major cities within the next two years.

    Initial deployment for the network has already proven successful in Novosibirsk, the capital of Siberia, with a population of just over 2 million. About two thirds of the city is now covered, approximately 15 square miles. And by early next year, Enforta plans to extend wireless service to 10 additional cities.

  • WiMax to drive broadband growth India

    Wireless technologies like WiMax will lead the Indian broadband growth story, helping achieve the goal of having 100 million broadband users by 2014, world's largest chip-maker Intel said in Taipei on Sunday.

  • Wireless Africa identifies references sites

    Canada is funding a new two-year pan-African wireless initiative to bring low-cost broadband to rural communities.

    The initiative was set up in Pretoria last month and is being led by the South African Council for Scientific and Industrial Research's (CSIR's) Meraka Institute.

    Project leader Chris Morris believes wireless technology is a solution to connect remote communities on the world's least wired continent. “Why should rural, poor and remote areas in Africa be denied access to the information society through lack of infrastructure, or because of exorbitantly high telecommunications costs?” he asks.

  • Wireless Internet Connects 1.4 Million Citizens in Estonia

    Walk down the cobblestone streets with medieval houses that look straight out of storybooks, and it's hard to believe that Tallinn - a city that has been sacked, pillaged and bombed numerous times over the centuries - still retains much of its past. But while this capital city of Estonia - a north-European country along the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea - remains a living museum, it's also a high-tech hotbed. For instance, the technologies for Skype and Baidu were developed in this country. Recently with the latest group of Wi-Fi access points installed, this 45,000-square-kilometer former Soviet nation is now also completely covered with wireless Internet access, setting an example for more-developed and richer states that have been trying to achieve this feat for years.

  • Wireless technologies are poised to deepen the broadband penetration in India

    The Internet user population in India will soon exceed the 200 million mark. This was made possible by lower-cost computers and notebooks and cheaper broadband service. But on the broadband connectivity front, India has nothing to write home about.

    However, of later, there have been some salutary developments. 3G and WIMAX auctions will pave the way for driving up the broadband usage. The country’s WIMAX subscriber base is expected to reach 19 million by 2012. It represents enormous business opportunities. A recent study shows India’s WIMAX subscriber base hitting 14 million by 2013 and growing annually at nearly 130%. It means that in the next four years, about 20% of the global WIMAX users will be in India, making it a $13-billion market.

  • Wiring Australia: Nation’s biggest-ever investment

    Debate rages over massive ‘national broadband network’ plan

    Seen by some as sitting on the wrong side of the world, Australia wants to plug deeper into the global economy by turbo-charging its broadband power. The nation is funding an ambitious plan to deliver high-speed Internet to its population of 22 million.

    At 36 billion Australian dollars ($36.4 billion), it is the single largest infrastructure investment in the nation’s history.

    But the national broadband network — or NBN, as it’s known — has divided opinion on political, economic and technological lines since it was first proposed in 2007.

  • Wissenschaftler sehen Defizite beim Breitbandausbau

    In einer Studie zum 'Next Generation Access' (NGA) hat das Wissenschaftliche Institut für Infrastruktur und Kommunikationsdienste (WIK) die Breitbandausbaupläne in elf Ländern untersucht und die Kosten eines Vollausbaus zur hochbitratigen Versorgung mit Breitbandanschlüssen in Deutschland abgeschätzt. Danach würde je nach Technik ein nationaler flächendeckender Neuausbau zu einem Investitionsbedarf zwischen 41 Milliarden und 120 Milliarden Euro führen.
