MAURITIUS GETS TOTAL ACCESS WITH WIRELESS BROADBAND TECHNOLOGY FROM NAVINI NETWORKS
Entire Island goes from dial-up to broadband wireless in 60 days.
MAURITIUS - RICHARDSON, TEXAS - January 11, 2005 - -- Navini Networks, Inc., the leading provider of non-line-of-sight, zero-install wide-area wireless broadband technology, today announced that it will supply the first complete nationwide deployment of broadband wireless access for the island of Mauritius for ADB Networks, a major independent service and support provider, headquartered in Mauritius.
Mauritius is an island situated in the South West Indian Ocean, with a central plateau and impressive mountains.
"Navini Networks provided us with a very compelling value proposition for our market," said Rizwan Rahim, chief executive officer of ADB Networks. "With portable service for subscribers throughout the island, competitive pricing and plug and play as soon as the customer receives the modem, usually the same day that they order service."
"We looked at other high speed broadband options and in our scenario, DSL and cable modem were not viable options," Said Rahim. "The rugged terrain of Mauritius requires a solution with no line of sight and cost effective deployment. Navini's nomadic broadband wireless access was clearly the best choice. We can deliver broadband where it didn't exist, virtually overnight."
"With Navini's portable wireless broadband access, the entire island of Mauritius will now be completely unwired." said Roger Dorf, president and chief executive officer, Navini Networks. "In addition, they will be superbly positioned to take advantage of next generation mobile broadband wireless access, 802.16e-based WiMAX."
"This is the first step in bringing true portable mobile broadband wireless access to Mauritius," said Rahim. "Navini's network provides instant high speed access to 1.2 million potential users and delivers unprecedented contiguous coverage of more than 100 square miles to meet residential, business and recreational needs of the entire island. "
Navini Networks offers a unique wireless broadband technology solution that will unwire Mauritius and will benefit businesses, residences and tourists immediately. The Navini wide-area wireless broadband system is a Non Line of Sight (NLOS) WWAN solution powered by smart antennas. The technology provides a very wide range of coverage - miles from the base station. And because it is a zero-install solution within its NLOS coverage area, it takes little effort for the subscriber to get up and running.
"Plug and play broadband access is the perfect solution since traditional solutions like DSL couldn't deliver a business case given the rugged terrain of Mauritius." Said Dorf. "Navini Networks offers complete and instant portability to keep subscribers connected at home, at work, at school or on the beach. Anywhere."
