requires a lot of manpower and expense.
The Solution: HORIZON WISP placed four Motorola Canopy� 5.7GigaHertz access points on a 60-foot tower. One unit was aimed at Mindanao State University and the other three were used to cover Marawi City. www.horizonwisp.com; www.motorola.com/canopy; www.connectwithcanopy.com
The Result: High-speed Internet was brought to a variety of sectors, including
schools, corporate offices, government offices, Internet cafes and residences. Internet costs are now 50 percent lower than alternative solutions and data speeds are up to 5 times faster.
Background
Marawi City and Lanao del Sur have experienced a digital divide in providing information technology, telecommunications and Internet services to its businesses and residents. Since 1999, Internet services were only available in Internet cafes using dial up or VSAT lines with maximum data speeds of 256 kilobits per second. Abdul M. Tomawis, owner of HORIZON Wireless Internet Service Provider, saw that wireless broadband solutions could provide enterprises, governments and businesses with reliable, high-speed data
services at an affordable cost. �ComWorks, Inc., through Ushuaia Trading � Iligan City, introduced us to Motorola�s Canopy Platform in April of this year, and we were amazed by its high data throughput rate. We knew that we had an immediate and affordable solution for Internet services in the city,� said Tomawis. In the four months since its initial deployment, HORIZON WISP has served numerous enterprises, including school computer laboratories, the university, local government, businesses and the Internet cafes that previously used dial-up services. In terms of technical management and maintenance of the network, Aslani Montila ( http://www.ciscogadgets.com ), the Network Administrator, said that �the Motorola Canopy solution is very easy to manage. Once you install it, you can access and control it from anywhere in the network.� Tomawis added, �The network has proven reliable and our customers are extremely satisfied with our service offerings.�
