Posdata provides ARNA, a Kazakh telecom operator with over 100 WiBro Wave2 bas-stations, control stations, network management systems and terminals. There will be follow-up talks for additional orders in accordance with the possible expansion of service coverage, the Korean company says.
ARNA is a privately owned telecom operator providing fixedline telephony (local, long-distance and international call), internet access (ISP) and leased-line service. The operator has WiBro frequency bands (2.3~2.4GHz, 2.5~2.7GHz) in 36 cities in Kazakhstan.
Using equipment from Posdata, ARNA will construct WiBro network to start commercial service in major cities including Almaty, the nation's biggest city, and Astana, the capital in next year and then expand the service coverage into other areas.
Agreement with ARNA for WiBro commercial service is a part of Posdata's campaign to achieve strong presence in Central Asia, the market of great growth potential, which started with Super iMax in Uzbekistan. Posdata says it will gradually increase customer basis in the area.
