Altai Partnered with Power Horizon to Provide Super WiFi Technologies for GO Telecom in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

HONG KONG, June 21, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Altai Technologies, a carrier-grade Super WiFi equipment supplier today announced that its Super WiFi technology has been chosen for last mile access in GO Telecom's WiMax network in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Altai partnered with Power Horizon to conduct the overall design and implementation of the Super WiFi technology. By integrating Altai's Super WiFi systems into GO Telecom's Short Message System (SMS) network, GO's subscribers can activate the WiFi services instantly by simply sending a SMS to the service operator.

With Altai's carrier-grade Super WiFi technology, GO Telecom can quickly add an overlay Super WiFi network to their existing WiMax network in a very cost effective way. With the overlay WiFi network, it immediately leverages the huge number of WiFi user devices, such as iPhones, iPads, smart PDA's, smart phones and lap tops. "Expanding WiMax and 3G capacity is very expensive, so telecom operators can use OPEX to build an overlay network using Altai's Super WiFi technology without any additional investment," said Chi-hung Lin, President & CEO of Altai Technologies.

Along with the advantage of Super WiFi as last mile access and an overlay to offload data, the Altai A8 series base station can be co-located with existing WiMax cell sites and therefore most of the site acquisition costs, wired backhaul costs and radio planning work can be saved. In addition, all the subscribers can enjoy direct access to the Super WiFi network anywhere without the need of any CPE.

Utilizing advanced wireless technology, the Altai Super WiFi Base Station is the world's leading outdoor access point optimized for maximum coverage from a minimum number of installation sites without requiring complicated network protocols. The Altai long range WiFi technology has significantly reduced the required number of base station and therefore saving up to 65% CAPEX and OPEX .

GO Telecom is the key Brand of Etihad Atheeb Telecom Company, the leading Cloud Telecommunications Operator in the Middle East.
