Intel and Pacific Internet Limited (PacNet), a large Asia-Pacific ISP, have teamed up to deploy a mobile WiMAX network in Singapore, PacNet said.
A memorandum of understanding (MOU) executed by the two companies, calls for them to initially test the technology to better understand market needs and behavior.
"This MOU represents a shift in the way PacNet will bring increased value to our customers," said Teck Moh Phey, PacNet's president and chief executive officer, in a statement. "Through strategic partnerships with leading technology companies such as Intel, PacNet will offer differentiated services by combining our strong regional knowledge and presence with next-generation products and solutions from these vendors. Such services will be offered to all applicable countries in the PacNet network."
PacNet said the trial with Intel will begin in mid-2006 and will test performance of both nomadic and mobile access.
Network slicing could be the answer to 5G rollout – but it's not easy to implement. Automation provides a way forward.
Wi-Fi 7 products, due out in 2024, will offer significantly more performance for enterprise users and can support more users in denser environments compared to Wi-Fi 6.
6G will leverage many different bands and tools to meet the ever-growing demands and expectations for cellular communications.
