Altai Technologies Enables Taipei 101 New Year's Eve Countdown Super WiFi Services

HONG KONG, Jan. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Altai Technologies, a carrier-grade Super WiFi equipment supplier enabled Fitel, the BWA operator of Taiwan's New Year's Eve Countdown to provide Super WiFi services at Taipei 101.

To cope with the huge demand for mobile internet during New Year's Eve, the service operator built another high performance wireless broadband network to complement its existing WiMAX network. The WiFi network covered the streets around Taipei 101 with twenty-three units of Altai A8-Ei Base Stations deployed on the rooftops of buildings in the district to provide Super WiFi service. The network was built and turned into full service in less than 1 week.

In this densely urban environment, each Altai A8-Ei provided 650m line-of-sight signal coverage where every iPhone, iPad or smartphone user could directly connect to the base stations with a fast uplink and downlink WiFi performance.

"This kind of outdoor celebration activity is a big challenge for a wireless broadband network because of the high user capacity especially when the clock neared midnight on December 31st," said Chi-hung Lin, President & CEO of Altai Technologies. "We solved this problem using Altai's smart antenna technologies and a patented signal processing algorithm to provide the industry's best coverage per base station. Furthermore, we strengthen WiFi signal coverage by installing several base stations in the same area to provide cross coverage."

The New Year's Eve countdown Super WiFi program was a great success. The Altai Super WiFi Solutions are being trialled and deployed by more than 20 tier one operators around the world.
