WiMax on the ocean waves
Ships that call on Singapore can now use WiMax instead of satellite to connect to the Internet.
Already 70 percent complete, Singapore's maritime WiMax network will eventually
extend 15 kilometers offshore, covering its southern coastline and port - one of
the world's busiest with 140,000 ship calls every year. The government-led
project, called WisePort, is run by local operator QMax Communications and uses
the same version of WiMax found in South Korea, called WiBro, that uses the
2.3GHz spectrum band.
