Tatung InfoComm, a WiMAX licensee for the southern region of Taiwan, has completed the installation of 90 out of the 200 WiMAX base stations it purchased from NEC, and the company is also on track to install the remaining 110 base stations before the end of this year, the Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN) quoted company president Peter Yen as saying.
