Tatung InfoComm to invest additional NT$10 billion in WiMAX over 5 years
Taiwan-based WiMAX operator Tatung InfoComm plans to invest an additional NT$10 billion (US$303 million) for the build-up of its WiMAX networks in the next five years, according to company chairperson Lin Kuo Wen-yen, who presided over an opening ceremony on July 8 for the inauguration of WiMAX services in the southern port city of Kaohsiung.
Tatung InfoComm plans to start offering notebooks or netbooks with built-in WiMAX modules in the fourth quarter of 2009, while beginning to market WiMAX-enabled handsets and mobile Internet devices (MIDs) in 2010, said Lin Kuo, who noted that the WiMAX notebooks and netbooks will be supplied by Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS) and other vendors.
Acer Taiwan general manager Scott Lin, who also attended the opening ceremony, revealed that Acer has rolled out three models of notebooks with built-in WiMAX modules, and the company is ready to ship those WiMAX-enable notebooks to Tatung and other carriers.
In other news, market sources expect Tatung InfoComm to secure up to 12,000 WiMAX clients in Kaohsiung City by the end of this year.
