Tatung and NEC Passed Verification Acceptance for the M-Taiwan WiMAX System

(Top News, 2 Jun 2008)

NEC Corp.'s WiMAX systems, including base stations and peripheral equipment, supplied to Tatung InfoComm has successfully passed the acceptance test conducted by Taiwan's Industrial Development Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs (IDB). This is said to be the first Acceptance to pass IDB's test of the M-Taiwan Projects in terms of WiMAX Forum 802.16e standards.

The Acceptance test passed by IDB means that the WiMAX system is an acceptable system (passed all the requirements defined under M-Taiwan regulations). The systems supplied by NEC to Tatung InfoComm have achieved the criteria of the Acceptance test which include but not limited to the criteria in the CPE UL/DL Throughput, BS Sector Throughput, and VoIP over WiMAX.

In August 2007, WiMAX commercial licenses were issued to six operators in Taiwan, including Tatung InfoComm by NCC. Tatung started its process to select the equipment supplier for the system and NEC was chosen as its partner through its pioneering effort. NEC's dedication to implement the field trial of mobile services like Remote Care and Tourism Portal in Hua-Lien since early 2007 with Tatung has been a key success factor.
