NEC Corporation announced today that UQ Communications Co., Ltd. just expanded its WiMAX service with NEC’s base stations.
UQ Communications’ WiMAX base station installation plan from the 2009 fiscal year has been increased from 4,000 to over 6,000 base stations by the end of the month, selecting two vendors to produce these new base stations.
NEC will be using the WiMAX “PasoWings BS202″ base station. The system secures WiMAX Forum Wave2 (2.5GHz) certification, an international standard that shows top quality and superior interoperability between different vendors.
UQ Communication is expanding their coverage rigorously and hopes that the installation of NEC base stations will lead to accelerated service, flexibility, and connectivity.
