The network will be built with a fiber backbone connecting the ADAPTIX broadband wireless base stations to provide broadband access services. Its objective is to enhance communication capabilities within the new Digital Entertainment Demo Center, and to serve as the service delivery platform for business operations and center management. The network will support multiple services and applications essential to the further development of the center. Such services and applications will include research and development, networking, web-based training, e-commerce and business management, etc.
"ADAPTIX enjoys more than five years experience researching and developing OFDMA technology and products. Dr. Hui Liu, the company's founder, recognized the value of OFDMA from the very beginning," stated Guo Xingshe, CEO Beijing Airway Communications. "This unique vision and tireless effort makes ADAPTIX a leader in the broadband wireless industry and a natural choice for partnership on this project."
The demo network will provide a fully covered wireless broadband environment for the whole ShiJinShan District, providing anywhere connection for the government and industry users with Internet access and VPN services.
