Solectek Corp., a maker of long-range wireless broadband equipment, has entered into an alliance with WNI Global, a worldwide supplier of broadband wireless solutions. Under the agreement, Solectek will provide WNI Global with WiMAX base stations and consumer premise equipment worth $10 million.
Solectek, based in San Diego, has developed expertise in point-to-point and point-to-multipoint systems in the unlicensed and licensed frequency bands. Its multipoint fixed broadband wireless access (FBWA) products are powered by robust radios and proprietary adaptive-polling software, ensuring high data throughput, flexibility, scalability and security. The SkyWay-MAX base station is a cost-effective solution that allows carriers to expand the business effortlessly.
“We are delighted and honored to work with WNI Global on their roll-out of WiMAX," said Dr. Eric Lee, president & CEO of Solectek, in a statement.
"WNI Global has a strong presence in key emerging markets such as Brazil, Mexico and the Middle East. In addition, they have the necessary expertise in broadband wireless to not only deliver a turn-key solution to carriers, but they also have highly trained technical staff capable of deploying any type of point-to-point and point-to-multipoint application, from WiMAX (News - Alert)-based to mesh and WiFi systems for municipalities," added Lee.
