3.4GHz Broadband Wireless Trials
Posted: 25th Mar, 2004 By: MarkJ
It's nine months since the governments auction of 3.4GHz broadband wireless licences and the first trials, from UK Broadband (PCCW), are about to begin:
UK Broadband, a subsidiary of Hong Kong-based Pacific Century Cyberworks (PCCW), is planning a "soft launch" of a high-speed wireless service in the second quarter of this year. The location for this trial has not yet been announced.
This service will be called Netvigator, which is also the brand name of PCCW's fixed line broadband service in Hong-Kong.
Few precise details of UK Broadband's plans are available at this stage. The company's ultimate aim is to offer high-speed wireless connectivity across Britain, but a spokesman declined to say when a nationwide launch might take place or to disclose any further details of the service.
It's worth remembering that UK Broadband (PCCW) originally won 13 of the 15 licences, although it later succeeded in securing the other two as well. More @ ZDNet.
