Green Packet is Strong in the MEA WiMAX Space
Aims for further traction at WiMAX Forum Regional MENA
June 22, 2009, Dubai - Green Packet Berhad (Greenpacket), a leading
developer of Next Generation Mobile Broadband and Networking Solutions, is
receiving enthusiastic response from operators in the Middle East and Africa
(MEA) region for its WiMAX products and solutions. Greenpacket has so far
entered into as many as 15 WiMAX CPE (Customer Premise Equipment) trialing with
operators from 12 countries in the region.
Greenpacket first established itself in the MEA region in 2007. Firmly committed
to developing the MEA market, the Company formed a joint-venture with Saudi
Economic Development Corporation (SEDCO) to set up Green Packet Networks W.L.L.,
operating out of Bahrain.
"This region accounts for approximately 23% of total WiMAX deployment globally
and we foresee continuous and long term growth in the WiMAX space of this
region," said Kelvin Lee, Senior General Manager of Greenpacket.
WiMAX is Greenpacket's strong suit and core business focus. The Company offers
end-to-end WiMAX products, solutions and consulting services; and undertakes
robust R&D around the technology.
"There is tremendous revenue generating opportunities for Operators to leverage
on WiMAX given its market and subscriber growth rate globally. WiMAX has proven
to be an attractive option for both greenfield and traditional operators in the
MEA region wanting to provide last-mile reach. WiMAX presents the very
attractive proposition of requiring low infrastructure investment, which is
particularly ideal for the low-density demography in this region," added Lee.
At the upcoming WiMAX Forum Regional MENA in Dubai, which will take place from
23 to 24 June 2009, Greenpacket plans on a strong showcase to further build up
its market traction. Throughout the two-day event, the showcase featuring the
Company's award-wining WiMAX CPEs and its intelligent Intouch Connection
Management Platform (ICMP) will demonstrate session persistence, as well as
uninterrupted connection and application usage as users move between WiMAX-WiFi
networks. Greenpacket's comprehensive range of WiMAX CPEs are field-tested on
successful large scale commercial deployments including one of the world's
largest by Packet One Networks (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd.
"We look forward to partnering with more operators to support successful
commercial deployments in the region. At the WiMAX Forum in Dubai, we hope to
deliver an experiential showcase to demonstrate the features and benefits of our
products and solutions, We are also keen on the opportunity to engage with
operators to investigate very specific and very individualised needs," said Lee.
