MUMBAI: Vee Time, a quadruple play service provider in Taiwan, has launched commercial mobile broadband services based on Motorola’s WiMax technology.
The new high-speed wireless service, combined with existing television, voice and Internet services, will strengthen Vee Time’s position in the telecom market and help it realise its digital convergence vision to bring a media mobility experience to users in Taiwan.
Vee Time had acquired a WiMax licence to provide mobile broadband services based on the new technology in Taiwan and launched commercial WiMax services in Taichung City, Taichung County and Kinmen County in the first phase of network development. The operator plans to expand and upgrade the network at a later stage.
Vee Time awarded its first WiMax turnkey contract to Motorola in the second half of 2009. In a few months, Motorola has designed, supplied and deployed the largest WiMAX network in southern Taiwan for the operator.
The Motorola services team has worked closely with Vee Time to deliver a fast-to-market WiMax network. The fully operational and optimised network was ready for Vee Time to provide commercial services in the second quarter of 2010.
Vee TIME said "With the new high-speed mobile service, Vee Time has become the leading quadruple play service operator in Taiwan, enabling us to provide not only high quality communication services, but also innovative digital media offerings across different platforms.
"Motorola’s state-of-the-art WiMax solutions and professional services team ensured a high quality and quick deployment of the advanced network. Its expertise and experience in other WiMax projects around the globe were invaluable. With this deployment, Motorola has helped us better fulfill customer demands and create innovative solutions for our subscribers"
Motorola Networks business in Asia Pacific corporate VP, GM Dr. Mohammad Akhtar says, "We are excited to implement a world-class WiMax network to help realize Vee Time’s digital media convergence vision. The consumption of rich media mobile content is increasing, and consumers and business users are adopting a new mobile lifestyle. The new WiMax services supported by Motorola’s technology and services team will provide Vee Time with a competitive edge in this emerging, fast growing market".
Motorola has deployed WiMax networks for three of the six operators who have acquired WiMax licences in Taiwan, demonstrating its leadership in 4G technologies as well as its services capabilities.
