VIA NET.WORKS Receives National WiMAX-Licence and Starts Operations in Zurich and Geneva

Zurich (ots)

VIA NET.WORKS (Switzerland) Ltd., a company of
Solution24 AG, receives national WiMAX test licence by the Swiss
authorities. VIA NET.WORKS will be carrying out WiMAX pilot
operations in Zurich and Geneva.
The planned area-wide covering of WiMAX will be supported by
Chinese companies - VIA NET.WORKS is conducting negotiations with
Chinese carriers and investors, in order to acquire WiMAX concessions
in other European countries and set up WiMAX networks. VIA NET.WORKS
is already the sole European provider with direct IP data connection
to China.
"WiMAX will be leading in wireless IP access with broadband
capacity and VIA NET.WORKS will have a major impact on this market",
Franz Grüter, chairman & CEO of VIA NET.WORKS explains.
"Currently test operations are being carried out in Zurich and
Geneva. Our plans for the near future are to establish an area-wide
covering of WiMAX and offer a range of WiMAX services in the European
market", Aldo Britschgi, COO & CTO of VIA NET.WORKS adds. "The
wireless products complement our successful Hosted Exchange products,
where we already offer Mobile-Office and Mobile-Mail" Aldo Britschgi
says.
"WiMAX merges internet access, telephony as well as information
supply and is becoming a "fixed" wireless access for all
end-applications such us email, telephony, TV, E-Business, data
access, entertainment, etc.", Franz Grüter and Aldo Britschgi
explain. Both agree: "The future belongs to the wireless IP world!"
VIA NET.WORKS has been dealing with the WiMAX technology since
beginning of 2004 and therefore possesses a clear headstart. The
planned set-up of an area-wide WiMAX network in Switzerland and other
European countries will be carried out in cooperation with Chinese
investors, engineers and telecommunications providers. By the end of
2006, there will be a country-wide WiMAX network in China.
The WiMAX radio technology has high potential to break the current
telecommunications monopolies and to offer alternatives to the
"Last-Mile". Furthermore, WiMAX offers inexpensive wireless broadband
access and outshines GPRS and UMTS offers. Alternative carriers like
VIA NET.WORKS can now provide services in areas, where they weren't
able to bypass the monopolist connections, recovering their expenses.
VIA NET.WORKS (Switzerland) Ltd. is an internationally targeted
full service Internet-Provider for professional LAN and WAN solutions
designed for the high demands of its customers. The independent
Gigabit IP Network (AS1836) with multiple redundant interworking and
sophisticated datacenters fulfils highest standards as much for
