Motorola wins contract to expand WiMAX network for FET
Motorola announced on April 21 that Taiwan-based Far EasTone Telecommunications (FET) has awarded Motorola additional contracts to expand FET's WiMAX network in Taichung, Taiwan. The projects will boost network performance and provide new management features, preparing FET for the commercial launch of mobile broadband services by the end of 2009, said Motorola.
Motorola will deploy its WAP access point portfolio, Motorola's high-performance base stations for WiMAX networks, and integrate connectivity service network (CSN) authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA)/home agent (HA) solutions to extend FET's existing network and provide functions such as access control and billing, Motorola detailed. Motorola has also enhanced the previously deployed network management system (NMS) for the expanded network and the new CSN components. Motorola NMS increases network stability and availability. It also ensures improved network performance with advanced design and flexible integration capabilities, said Motorola.
FET, the only Taiwan telecom operator with both cellular and WiMAX networks, is expanding its WiMAX network as part of the operator's commitment to the M-Taiwan project, a government initiative to accelerate WiMAX ecosystem development and create a city-wide broadband network.
The expansions will enhance network coverage and capacity, when FET rolls out commercial services based on 802.16e WiMAX technology. The projects are now underway and are expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2009, Motorola detailed.
In addition to network deployments, Motorola opened its first interoperability testing (IOT) lab for 802.16e-based WiMAX technology in Taiwan in 2008.
