Chunghwa Telecom and Nortel to build WiMAX network in Taiwan
Chunghwa Telecom and Nortel are teaming up to build Taiwan's first integrated local government WiMAX network in Yilan, providing county-wide broadband wireless access.
As part of the Mobile-Taiwan (M-Taiwan) project, the WiMAX infrastructure will enable broadband wireless access to such services as M-Learning, M-Commerce, and M-Tour, as well as video surveillance and IPTV services. Chunghwa Telecom said that it will work with Nortel to extend the same integrated wireless capabilities to other areas of Taiwan to help bolster the competitiveness of local economies.
"The people of Yilan will now be able to take the internet with them wherever they go, and enjoy high-speed mobile access using virtually any wireless-enabled device," said Jackson Wu, president for Greater China at Nortel.
