CKW Wireless to Deliver Wide-Area The pre-commercial Phase One rollout, already underway,
includes deployment of 12 i-BURST base stations in Sydney, providing high-speed
access coverage over 150 square kilometers (approximately 60 square miles).
Around 500 customers will be involved in the pre-commercial rollout, which paves
the way for CKW's commercial rollout later in 2003. Mitsubishi
Corporation and e-millennium add further momentum to CKW's consortium of
market-leading companies committed to Phase One deployment of the i-BURST
System. The CKW consortium comprises ArrayComm, mobile operator Vodafone
Australia, leading ISP OzEmail, infrastructure builder and project manager TCI,
base station site owner Crown Castle and network equipment provider CommWorks, a
3Com Company. "The backing of world-class investors like Mitsubishi
Corporation and e-millennium is a clear endorsement of the market opportunity
for cost-effective, high-speed, mobile Internet services for consumers," said
Martin Cooper, chairman and CEO of ArrayComm. "It is not often that a
groundbreaking opportunity like the i-BURST system comes along. When the chance
came, we knew we had to be part of it. Having experienced the i-BURST Personal
Broadband System first hand in Sydney, there were no doubts about its commercial
potential," said Dr. Harrison Wang, chief executive officer of e-millennium
Ltd. "Being part of the world's first i-BURST deployment also opens
international possibilities. What can be achieved in Australia can easily be
exported to other parts of the world," said Masayuki Kasahara, general manager
of the International Development Project Unit, Mitsubishi
Corporation. "The excitement about wireless LANs and 3G is just the
beginning of what wireless can offer. We firmly believe that CKW will capitalize
on this emerging trend and to deliver a service that people really want --
high-speed, mobile access to the Internet," Kasahara continued. "This
announcement builds on the momentum ArrayComm and CKW established in 2002," said
Judy Slatyer, director of CKW Wireless. "We established an industry-leading
consortium; we progressed to the operations of the CKW venture; we installed the
first trial i-BURST networks and are proceeding with wider range of field
testing and integration. We're now well on the way to meeting our goal of a
commercial availability by mid-2003." About the i-BURST Personal
