Wi4 Fixed Canopy(R) network will allow voice, data and video services over a single wireless broadband link
DONG THAP, Vietnam, April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) today announced that the Dong Thap People's Committee has selected Motorola's wi4 Fixed Canopy solution for its e-government network. A combination of point-to-point and point-to-multi point wireless broadband network systems will connect provincial offices and administrative agencies in Dong Thap.
The Dong Thap Canopy deployment will support the triple play service set of high-speed Internet, Voice over IP (VoIP) and video calls over a single broadband platform. Besides the physical system, ongoing technical support will be provided by Motorola via E&T Company, an authorized Canopy solution provider, to ensure the smooth running of the network.
The wireless broadband network will be deployed in phases with 10 local government departments being covered in the first phase. By mid-2007, the network will be expanded to cover 30 departments and agencies as well as 10 remote districts.
Currently, communications between the Dong Thap People's Committee and local agencies and districts are done through 64 Kbps dial-up connection or expensive 64 Kbps leased lines.
"Deploying Motorola's Canopy wireless broadband network will allow Dong Thap government officials to communicate seamlessly and achieve central administration across the province," said Mr. Le Minh Hoan, vice chairman of Dong Thap People's Committee. "With Canopy, we will be able to respond more efficiently to the needs of the people," he said.
Demonstrating the network's triple play capabilities, Mr. Hoan launched the e-government network via a wireless videophone enabled by Motorola's wireless broadband system. He added: "We were amazed at Canopy's ability to scale up and out while supporting multiple services at affordable prices."
Mr. David Knapp, general director of Motorola Vietnam, said he was pleased to see Motorola's network solutions being deployed not only in large cities but also in rural areas. "Canopy is an excellent alternative to wired broadband solutions like cable and DSL," he said. "This is especially so in provinces like Dong Thap where large distances between offices make the cost of installing copper lines economically prohibitive."
Beyond this deployment, Mr. Knapp said Motorola and its partners will continue to work with other local enterprises, municipalities and carriers to enable wireless broadband communications throughout Vietnam.
