HONG KONG, Feb. 11 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Altai Technologies, a carrier- grade Super WiFi equipment supplier today announced that Modern Terminals, the first purpose-built container terminal in Hong Kong, has selected Altai's Super WiFi Solution to enable its new free WiFi service. Being the first container terminal operator to deploy WiFi technology in all its Terminals 1, 2, 5 and 9, Modern Terminals allows customers' vessels berthing alongside to enjoy internet connection free of charge.

Modern Terminals understands shipping lines' increasing need for an efficient and cost-effective communication solution to operate the vessels when berthing at the terminals. It conducted a pilot project with Altai's Super WiFi with very positive feedback. That resulted in full-scale roll out of the system to cover all yard areas and provide Internet connectivity for vessels alongside, free of charge.

Mr. Benjamin Lai, General Manager, Hong Kong, of Modern Terminals commented: "We are excited about providing free WiFi service to customers. The WiFi service helps save cost for our customers on maintaining close communication between the liner companies, their crew at our terminals and our own staff, as compared to traditional mode of communication via satellite or by hand. Real-time updating of stowage plans is also conveniently feasible by simply transmitting the data directly to servers at shipping companies via WiFi service provided by Modern Terminals."

To cope with the tough environment and strict requirements of the container port, Altai has developed its own patented adaptive interference control and special signal sampling technique. With these new technologies, the Altai A8 is able to provide stable, long range wireless coverage in such a high interference environment.

Ms. Catherine Leung, Vice President of Sales & Business Development of Altai Technologies said: "We are delighted to be selected again to provide our Super WiFi Solution for Modern Terminals. With in-depth experience in the port application, we are able to overcome the challenging wireless network deployment environment in a container port that is due to the complexity and high level of signal interference. We are also glad to have developed an advanced large coverage wireless network in support of high throughput level, as well as wireless connectivity regardless of the mobility of terminal equipment at yard and the different locations of berths where the vessels call."

The Altai Super WiFi Solution is far superior than the conventional WiFi system. It is renowned for its outstanding performance, reliability, scalability and cost effectiveness of network deployment and operation.
