Sloka Telecom unveils second-generation 5.8 GHz fixed wireless

Sloka Telecom announced the launch of its second-generation 5.8 GHz suite of fixed WiMAX (IEEE 802.16-2004) products. The radio access network utilizes the unlicensed frequency spectrum available in several countries allowing wireless Internet service providers (WISPs) to deploy wireless broadband access networks without having to obtain frequency licenses. The line-up includes: base stations, subscriber stations, an Authentication Authorization and Accounting (AAA) server and a Network Management System (NMS).

Designed to occupy little space, the Bangalore company claims its all-outdoor base stations are among the smallest units in the world. Less weight and fewer physical components to mount reduce the labor and installation costs associated with system deployment. “We believe that small-to-medium WISPs will contribute to bridging the digital divide in developing countries around the world, says Sujai Karampuri, CEO and cofounder of Sloka Telecom. “During our WiMAX product development, we focused on delivering lowest cost base stations that would also be easy to deploy.”
