Published: Mar 19th, 2008 | Author: Roman

BANGKOK, Thailand – 19 March 2008 – Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) today announced that the company has achieved the first successful mobile WiMAX trial in Thailand, teaming up with United Information Highway Company Limited (UIH).

The trial, demonstrating new wireless broadband experiences for users, marks the first among a series of Motorola’s mobile WiMAX engagements in Thailand and yet another milestone in the company’s global WiMAX development.

UIH acquired a WiMAX trial licence last year from the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), and conducted trials in Bangkok and Phuket to assess WiMAX traffic channeling capabilities in the respective areas. Through these trials, UIH experienced the full mobility performance of Motorola’s mobile WiMAX solutions.

“The successful trials with UIH affirms WiMAX as a feasible wireless technology for the roll-out of cost-effective broadband services to urban and remote areas within a short deployment timeframe,” said Eric Starnes, general manager and regional director of South East Asia, Motorola Home & Networks Mobility. ”We believe that mobile WiMAX solutions will give UIH differentiating advantages in expanding wireless broadband offerings and other value-added services to their customers.”
