Wifi Revolution

PhoneBrasil and CityNet Wireless will build the first large-scale WiFi Platform for all of Brazil. Both companies estimate this two-year project will cost $1.2 Billion.

PhoneBrasil International CEO Anderson Dias said one of their shareholders, their European Director of Market Development, Richard Alain Granier, has facilitated this entire agreement between PhoneBrasil and CityNet.

The final agreement will be signed and in place next month. The company has already received the approval from both party's legal counsel. The new WiFi (News - Alert) network will cover most major metropolitan cities, areas, states, and territories of Brazil. PHBR has already initiated governmental approvals and will be responsible for all the administrative work, i.e. traffic of minutes and licensing in Brazil.

“CityNet will be responsible for the platform/system and towers,” Dias said in a statement.

Leveraging this new untapped technology, new subscribers, and already existing PhoneBrasil customers, can connect their computers, laptops, VoIP networking devices, and hybrid cellular dual-mode communication interfaces anywhere, when this large-scale WiFi platform is available.

PhoneBrasil International was in the news earlier this month for announcing 214 Licenses and upcoming expansions with key players in the domestic markets.

Atlanta, Georgia-based CityNet Wireless is a provider of comprehensive metro-grade wireless services. CityNet Wireless' managed, linked and interoperating networks provide local ISPs and other providers with the necessary wireless networks and support to effectively serve their diverse customer base.

PhoneBrasil International Inc. is an American-based company specializing in hybrid VoIP, cellular,WiFi and broadband technology in the Latin American market, as well as servicing the international telecommunication markets.
