14 DAY TRIAL // Motorola announced that the Dong Thap People's Committee has selected Motorola's wi4 Fixed Canopy solution for its e-government network in Vietnam. A combination of point-to-point and point-to-multi wireless broadband network systems will connect provincial offices and administrative agencies in Dong Thap.
The Dong Thap Canopy deployment will support high-speed Internet, VoIP and video calls over a single broadband platform. Besides the physical system, Motorola will provide technical support via E&T Company, an authorized Canopy solution provider, to ensure the smooth running of the network.
The wireless broadband network will be deployed in phases with 10 local government departments being covered in the first phase. The network will then be expanded to cover 30 departments and agencies, as well as 10 remote districts, by mid-2007. Currently, communications between the Dong Thap People's Committee and local districts and agencies are done through 64 Kbps dial-up connection or expensive 64 Kbps leased lines.
"Deploying Motorola's Canopy wireless broadband network will allow Dong Thap government officials to communicate seamlessly and achieve central administration across the province," said Mr. Le Minh Hoan, vice chairman of Dong Thap People's Committee. "With Canopy, we will be able to respond more efficiently to the needs of the people."
According to Mr. David Knapp, general director of Motorola Vietnam, Motorola and its partners will continue to work with other local enterprises, municipalities and carriers to enable wireless broadband communications throughout Vietnam.
Motorola's Canopy solutions are part of the company's MOTOwi4 portfolio of wireless broadband solutions and services that creates and complements IP networks. Delivering IP coverage to virtually all spaces, the MOTOwi4 portfolio also includes wi4 WiMAX, wi4 Mesh, and wi4 BPL solutions for private and public networks.
