Wimax to represent up to 20% of revenues
Ertach has just officially launched a national wireless network using Wimax standard technology and expects to sign 10,000 clients for this service, particularly from the biggest corporations in the country. Israel’s Alvarion was the equipment supplier.
Wimax also provides a better quality of service since transmission of data, voice or video can be prioritized, improving the service. In terms of coverage, this technology can extend up to 20-30km.
“From the provider’s point of view, Wimax does not need line of sight between the base station and the antenna installed at the client premises, as other technologies do. Because of that we failed to install nearly 20% of our previous projects, and now this number has been reduced to 10%,” he added.
