Sujai Karampuri, chief executive officer and cofounder, Sloka Telecom, said, "We believe that small-to-medium WISPs will contribute to bridging the digital divide in developing countries around the world. During our WiMAX product development, we focused on delivering lowest cost base stations that would also be easy to deploy. This will allow WISPs to deploy wireless networks even in rural and remote geographies of emerging markets like India."
Sloka's 5.8GHz suite of WiMAX products includes base stations, subscriber stations, Authentication Authorization and Accounting (AAA) server and Network Management System (NMS).
The company has also tied up with Wavesat Inc, Canada, manufacturers of chipsets for Wimax, to make their base stations on Wavesat based hardware. Vijay Dube, chief operating officer and executive vice president, Wavesat Inc. Canada, said, "Sloka's unique architecture for base stations based on Wavesat's 4G broadband wireless chipsets enables them to make high quality, high capacity, but very cost-effective network equipment." |
