Huawei Deploys Commercial Mobile WiMAX Network in Central Asia

Huawei’s end-to-end Mobile WiMAX network will cover the four major areas of Tajikistan, including its capital Dushanbe. The network includes distributed Base Station, Wireless Access Service Node-Gateway (News - Alert), Network Management Equipment and Terminals.

Tajikistan is experiencing burgeoning demand for broadband. Taking into account the mountainous terrain in Tajikistan, Babilon-T decided to adopt WiMAX (News - Alert) technology to enable its subscribers to realize wireless broadband access. When completed, the network will enable Babilon-T’s subscribers to enjoy high-speed Internet access, watch mobile TV, use VoIP at home, in the company, or even on the street by using Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) or a PC card provided by Huawei.

Fayzullaev B, general director of Babilon-T is confident that by introducing mobile WiMAX technology, they will be able to provide their customers all over Tajikistan with broadband access to the Internet.

Wang Kexiang, president of Huawei CIS Region believes that this new technology will bring new market opportunities for Babilon-T.

“Huawei is delighted to be selected by Babilon for the launch of the first mobile WiMAX network in the country and the region and we are looking forward to further our partnership with Babilon-T in the future,” said Kexiang in a statement. TMC Net
