AsiaInfo to Upgrade China Mobile's Nationwide WLAN Authentication and Billing System

(Business News & Technology News, 23 Apr 2008)


AsiaInfo Holdings Inc. has signed a contract with China Mobile to upgrade its Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) authentication and billing system to satisfy increased subscriber demand expected during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

China Mobile's WLAN business has gradually gained customer acceptance since 2002, and the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games are expected to increase demand for WLAN services. As partner of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, China Mobile will provide a communications network and related services for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Journalists, athletes and tourists are expected to be the primary users of the service during the Olympic Games. The upgraded system will have the capacity to support 5 million users and can support both static and dynamic password authentication technology.

"The Olympic Games provide an ideal platform for the telecommunications industry to showcase new and innovative services," says Steve Zhang, AsiaInfo's President and CEO. "Our leading market position and longstanding relationship with China Mobile allows us to leverage our world class telecom software solutions to support their WLAN coverage of Olympic venues, which will be the first network of its kind in Olympic history."

The Olympic WLAN network is a high speed wireless data transmission network constructed by China Mobile for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. The network will provide high-speed wireless Internet access for end users in Olympic gymnasiums, stadiums and surrounding areas in Olympic cities including Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai.
