Babilon-T to deploy mobile WiMAX network

Babilon-T and Huawei have signed a deal under which the latter will supply what it claims is central Asia’s first commercial mobile WiMAX network. The planned infrastructure will cover the four major areas of Tajikistan, including the capital Dushanbe, with rollout starting immediately and a launch planned for sometime during the first quarter of 2008. ‘Babilon-T is looking forward to implement wireless broadband access infrastructure nationally,’ said Fayzullaev B, the company’s General Director. ‘By introducing mobile WiMAX technology, we will be able to provide our customers all over Tajikistan with broadband access to the Internet.’
