| Government Telco Rolls Out Metro Wi-Fi in New Zealand RoamAD announces that New Zealand network operator Kordia is launching its first two metro Wi-Fi networks in Auckland and Taupo, New Zealand. The service, called Kordia Metro Wi-Fi, is now available in the Auckland suburbs of Parnell, Ponsonby, Remuera and Karangahape Road and will be available in the Taupo CBD later this month. Kordia 's aggressive roll-out strategy will see the service shortly expanding to nearly 20 cities throughout New Zealand. The metro Wi-Fi network is unbundled and can operate multiple SSIDs. This allows Kordia to wholesale access to a number of ISPs to on-sell to their customers. As Kordia 's Metro Wi-Fi network is supported by RoamAD's optimized wireless networking platform, it is optimized to support mobile broadband data as well as mobile VoIP/VoWiFi. The network can be easily accessed with any Wi-Fi enabled device such as a laptop, PDA or cell phone. Kordia expects strong take-up over the next three years, with a vision for targeted Metro Wi-Fi coverage in every New Zealand city by 2010. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
