ChinaTel Group announced today that it’s completed the first phase of its broadband wireless Internet network installation in Beijing.
The network is being constructed by the Trussnet subsidiary of ChinaTel Group, according to the companies.
ChinaTel officials say their company is offering the service to CECT-Chinacomm Communications, a telecommunications provider that had entered into a contract with Trussnet USA to engineer and install a next generation wireless Internet access that would bring high-speed broadband Internet access to Chinese cities. ChinaTel Group had acquired Trussnet USA in May, according to the company. As per the contract, Trussnet is the exclusive contractor for a China infrastructure project spread across twenty-nine cities in China, company officials say.
The network provides Internet access to the Beijing metropolitan area, including the 2nd Ring, 3rd Ring, CBD Commercial Zone, Financial District, Zhong-Guan Village, Wangjing Economy-Technology Development Zone, Xuanwuchun Village and Yizhuang, said the company.
The proposed network is a WiMax and Mesh Wireless Fidelity
network. It will provide wireless broadband services on the 3.5 GHz radio frequency spectrum allotted to Chinacomm Communications for its WiMax services, company officials say.
“The ChinaTel acquisition of Trussnet USA provides direct access to TrussGroup’s Telecom Division which provides outsourced services to telecom carriers and equipment vendors for planning, design, deployment and ongoing optimization and management of telecommunication networks,” said officials at ChinaTel Group.
ChinaTel officials say their company offers services in areas of system planning, construction, network operations support, tower management and RF Engineering. It is capable of supporting different technology platforms, including fixed, wireless, optical, data, analog, digital, wireless Internet and broadband wireless technologies.
