Kansas Broadband Selects PureWave Quantum 6600 for Rural Mobile WiMAX
Network
Network is Planned to Cover 18 Counties and More than 12,000 Square Miles
Mountain View, CA, May 11, 2010 ― PureWave Networks, the developer of high
performance, compact, all-outdoor Mobile WiMAX (802.16e) base stations
announced today that it has been selected by Kansas Broadband Internet (KBI)
as the company's exclusive provider of WiMAX equipment.
"As we migrate our wireless network from proprietary equipment to more
advanced and capable mobile WiMAX technology, we need a solution that is
powerful, simple to deploy, easy to maintain and cost effective, all at the
same time," said Lee Miller, President and CEO of KBI. "We field tested the
PureWave Quantum against a number of other solutions, and PureWave came out
the clear winner in terms of range, capacity and over-all link budget. The
end result is that we are now able to deliver such advanced services as
streaming video to customers located 7.5 miles away from the base station in
a non-line of site environment. We are reaching customers we were never able
to serve before."
The PureWave Quantum family of mobile WiMAX base stations is uniquely suited
to the needs of rural operators, and allows them to profitably deliver voice
and data services even in sparsely populated areas. Employing six antennas
to deliver an unmatched service range of up to 15 miles or more from the
base station, PureWave Quantum base stations are designed to be deployed
completely outdoors with no need for either shelter or air-conditioning,
greatly reducing site deployment and maintenance costs.
PureWave Quantum base stations can operate with or without an ASN gateway,
reducing operators' capital spending while enabling support for full mobile
service when the operator is ready to offer it. Moreover, PureWave Quantum
base stations operate with standard, off-the-shelf mobile WiMAX CPE, finally
releasing operators from the tyranny of expensive single vendor proprietary
subscriber devices.
"We are proud to be KBI's vendor of choice for their advanced WiMAX network"
said Gideon Ben-Efraim, PureWave's Chairman and CEO. "As they expand their
service into new communities and offer their customers advanced services, we
are pleased to have been selected as KBI's technology partner."
