Solectek Announces a Successful Large Cell WiMAX Deployment with High Desert Internet Services

Solectek Corporation, a manufacturer of broadband wireless equipment, announced a successful fixed WiMAX deployment with High Desert Internet Services (HDIS). Based in Reno, NV, HDIS has been serving the Northern Nevada region with broadband wireless services for 6 years and recently decided a switch to WiMAX infrastructure operating in the 3.65 GHz licensed frequency band.

“This customer experience validates our approach to WiMAX system design, which is to provide maximum coverage area per base station. We are pleased to see our customers taking full advantage of the system’s capabilities,” said Dr. Eric Lee, CEO of Solectek Corporation. “Solectek’s SkyWay-Max system has a much larger coverage area than any other WiMAX system we have tested and has been performing beyond expectations.” says Doug Dawson, President of HDIS.

In addition, Solectek’s SkyWay-Max system is proving its outdoor reliability over inclement winter weather that HDIS recently experienced. Their WiMAX service remained uninterrupted when a violent winter storm in which sustained winds of 100-120 MPH with peaks of 140 MPH were recorded over a 5 hour period in the service area.
Satisfied with their first phases of deployment, HDIS is now rapidly expanding service to other sites and locations. HDIS’s technical team feels confident that they can rely upon the Solectek WiMAX system to execute their business expansion model.

Solectek’s SkyWay-Max WiMAX system features the industry’s most powerful base station and CPEs. Its all-in-one outdoor base station is easy to configure via remote management software provided at no cost to customers. The SkyWay-Max system has the best price/performance ratio in the fixed WiMAX market today.
