TMCNet: Motorola provides WiMax 802.16e equipment for digital city project

[October 29, 2007]

Motorola provides WiMax 802.16e equipment for digital city project

(BNamericas.com Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) US wireless technology manufacturer Motorola (NYSE: MOT) is donating equipment for its Canopy wireless broadband solution to the city of Garanhuns in Pernambuco state on Brazil's northeast coast, news service Bureau de Prensa reported.



The Garanhuns digital city project is one of the initiatives of the communications ministry's digital inclusion program due to be launched on December 20.

The technology, which is based on the WiMax 802.16e standard and operates in the 3.5GHz band, is expected to help improve access to public services in the city. Access will be available from libraries, schools, cultural centers, clinics and the buildings of a range of public entities.



Motorola will be responsible for installation, equipment maintenance and training. US hardware manufacturer Dell (Nasdaq: DELL) will provide five IT laboratories equipped with PCs and notebooks.

Fixed line telco Embratel (NYSE: EMT), a unit of Mexico's Telmex (NYSE: TMX), will provide the internet network. Federal power company Chesf will provide interconnection with Embratel's backbone.

Garanhuns has 130,000 inhabitants.
