Unwired - Sydney
Unwired Australia has announced strong customer takeup of its wireless broadband service in Sydney, Australia using technology from Navini, the leading provider of non-line- of-sight, zero-install portable wireless broadband technology.
Unwired’s initial Sydney network has 70 sites covering more than 1,200 square miles and 3.5 million potential Sydney users making it the largest network of its type in the world. A major component of Unwired’s success has been its strong channel strategy. Its largest channel is retail with 63% of new customers.
“It also shows that Unwired has a compelling proposition for customers. The fact that we offer a simple, portable and competitively priced broadband service is attracting a strong customer base,” Spence added.
“Navini Networks shares Unwired’s vision of providing easy to use, portable high speed broadband to Australians in cities and regional areas,” said Roger Dorf, president and chief executive officer of Navini Networks. “And Navini’s equipment will ensure that Unwired is correctly positioned for future wireless standards by providing seamless upgrade to WiMAX 802.16e standard.”
Unwired has targeted Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and other key regions in Australia for service expansion. That expansion will take place after the Sydney customer base is established.
