Malta’s second nationwide WiMAX network

Alvarion announced that it has been chosen by GO Mobile for a nationwide WiMAX network deployment on the island of Malta. Using Alvarion’s 4Motion CPE and BreezeMAX infrastructure radios, GO Mobile plans to provide voice and data services in the 3.5 GHz frequency band to the residents of the island of Malta. Rollout of the commercial network is expected to begin in the next few weeks.

“[WiMAX] will augment our already nationwide 3G-3.5G/HSDPA wireless coverage,” said Norbert Prihoda, Chief Mobile Operations Officer of GO. “This underpins our multi-access nationwide data strategy with the utilization of different technologies to provide the best value proposition for our customers.” Under the terms of the operator’s license, GO Mobile is required by Malta’s regulator MCA (Malta Communication Authority) to complete network rollout and provide 99% nationwide coverage by October 2009.
