GEC NEWS WIREProviding High-speed WiFi Services to Residents and Businesses
Guineanet’s deployment commenced in June 2012 and has been expanding since, extending covering in Malabo, the country’s capital, and Bata, the largest city in Equatorial Guinea. The Guineanet network offers customers WiFi hotspots for multi-device connectivity. Having deployed the Altai A8-Ein, Guineanet will benefit from the product’s integration with existing WiMAX platforms, enabling the company to use the WiMAX to backhaul WiFi network. This will enable Guineanet to continue to serve WiMAX customers while introducing WiFi customers at its own pace.
“Altai’s solutions have perfectly suited our business model and our expansion plans,” commented Tim Edwards, CEO and co-owner of Guineanet. “We chose Altai for their impressive product performance, exceptional customer service, competitive pricing and the availability of a dual-band product. We have been extremely satisfied with their products and attentive service and look forward to continuing our network expansion.”
Dr. Bill Wong, CEO of Altai Technologies, added, “Guineanet is another in a series of commercial wins awarded this year in the Africa region. Africa is a rapidly expanding WiFi market segment and a key target for Altai. Our WiFi technology delivers broadband services to many people that haven’t had access to broadband previously. We have a solid understanding of the African market and of Guineanet’s needs and challenges. We are happy to serve Guineanet and their customers while helping to drive economic growth in the region.”
