New Network Provides Affordable 'Last-Mile' and Wi-Fi Internet
Access Services
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
SkyPilot Networks, a leading provider of carrier-class broadband
wireless networks, today announced that Advanced Data Networks System
Limited (http://www.adnsl.net/) has deployed SkyPilot's equipment to
provide broadband wireless services within the metropolitan area of
Dhaka, Bangladesh. The network provides Internet access services to
both 'last-mile' fixed locations and portable Wi-Fi devices.
ADN is one of the leading companies in Bangladesh providing
seamless and secured connectivity using fiber, satellite and wireless
solutions. ADN is the prime service provider for domestic and
international connectivity services and solutions duly authorized by
the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC). The ADN
wireless Internet service is branded as "ADN Wi-Fi+" and principally
serves small- to medium-sized businesses in multiple regions around
Dhaka. ADN Wi-Fi+ also services several residential areas as well as
universities and hotels.
"SkyPilot's equipment has allowed us to build a broadband wireless
network that serves the needs of a broad customer base," said Asif
Mahmood, chairman of ADN. "In addition, since SkyPilot was so easy to
deploy, we were about to leverage our first-mover advantage to market
an affordable high-speed wireless Internet service in Bangladesh. Our
customers can now get hassle-free broadband Internet at their
business, in their home, and in areas in-between."
ADN utilizes a combination of SkyGateways and SkyExtenders to
backhaul their broadband wireless networks, SkyExtender DualBands to
provide Wi-Fi HotSpots, and SkyConnectors to provide the customer
premise equipment (CPE) to last-mile subscribers.
"At SkyPilot, we're focused on providing solutions to Internet
services providers (ISPs) seeking to move from dial-up to broadband
but without requiring the recurring monthly costs of DSL or leased
lines," said Gordon Wilcox, sales director for Asia Pacific at
SkyPilot. "By leveraging a common platform, SkyPilot can help wireless
ISPs build flexible, long-range solutions that offer high-quality
services."
