Altai Technologies Starts Volume Shipment of New Super WiFi Solution for 3G Data Offload
Over 15 Tier 1 Carriers on Trial or have Commercially Deployed the New Solution
HONG KONG, Feb. 25 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Altai Technologies, a carrier- grade Super WiFi equipment supplier, today announced that it has started shipment of its new Super WiFi Solution to carriers for 3G data offload. In addition to the recent success in China, Altai has over 15 tier 1 carriers in different regions commercially deploying or in trials with the new solution. This new solution assists the mobile operators to offload its heavy data traffic from the licensed frequency band to the unlicensed frequency band at minimal cost.
The new Altai A8 series Super WiFi Base Station can provide 70% of the 3G mobile data coverage area in typical deployment scenarios. The Super WiFi Base Station can be collocated with the 3G base station sites therefore saving the majority of the site acquisition cost, wired backhaul costs and radio planning works. "Instead of limiting the usage of mobile data users, the operators can focus this segment for generating more revenue," said Chi-hung Lin, President & CEO of Altai Technologies. "The new Super WiFi base station offers carriers a more cost-effective and quick 3G data offload solution. It is a just-in-time solution for 3G operators who need to provide fast wireless networks to cope with their increasing iphone, ipad and smart PDA users' demand."
The surge in mobile data traffic and band-width hungry Internet applications on smartphones have congested the 3G mobile networks and therefore reduced the service quality. The Altai Super WiFi Solution helps the operators to offload data traffic from 3G to a high speed, low cost WiFi network. With Altai's patented long range technologies, the A8 series base station has significantly improved the outdoor WiFi signal coverage area by more than 10 times per base station and achieves a non-line-of-sight radius of up to 800m. Robust WiFi connections can further be extended up to 4km by using Altai's new C1 CPE.
The Altai's Super WiFi technology requires significantly fewer cell sites for a given coverage area. This enables carriers to quickly build a city-wide wireless broadband network by using the existing 3G cell sites.
Mr. Lin added, "The mobile operators must adopt the right technology for solving this data traffic issue so as to maintain their leading position in the highly competitive market." The WiFi networks and 3G networks will complement each other and hence improve the rate of return of the total network investment.
