Asiaspace Wimax Targets Between Up To 5,000 Subscribers

Asiaspace Wimax Sdn Bhd has target at least 3,000 to 5,000 subscribers in the first quarter of the year, with the launch of its "amax city" Tuesday.

It is the first virtual city within Technology Park Malaysia (TPM) that allows unlimited online access to services and facilities through a convenient internet gateway.

"There is demand at the TPM. We are targeting the 162 tenants in this area including media agencies, content providers, online game developers, IT companies and software developers," its vice president, marketing and operation, Ahmad Shah told reporters after the launch of the amax city.

The launch was officiated by Minister of Information, Communications and Culture, Datuk Seri Utama Dr Rais Yatim.

The virtual project was set up by Asiaspace WiMax and introduces the MIMOS WiWi Technology platform - the world's first hybrid solution that integrates WiMax (IEEE 802.16e mobile WiMax) and WiFi technologies.

He said it operates on a 2.3 Gigahertz frequency and is designed as an alternative for last-mile connectivity.

According to him, it also provides a solution for the Broadband for General Population (BBGP).

He said the first phase of development of amax city would cover many prime areas in TPM, as well as universities and colleges.

Users will enjoy the facilities provided within the coverage zone, which is over 700 hectares.

Ahmad said Asiaspace WiMax owns amax WiMax, a wireless high-speed broadband provider that guarantees strong and reliable service to subscribers within its coverage area, currently at 20 per cent of the population in the Klang Valley.

Asiaspace WiMax provides wireless broadband service based on the WiMax technology to commercial and residential customers under the amax brand.
