Cisco has announced that Xanadoo has utilized their Cisco Internet Protocol Next-Generation Network (IP NGN) infrastructure to launch one of the first commercial North American mobile WiMAX
broadband wireless networks.
Mark Pagon, CEO of Xanadoo said, “When evaluating potential WiMAX
solutions the choice was clear: Cisco is a global leader in mobile WiMAX broadband wireless solutions and a market leader in advanced network technologies. We selected Cisco because we believed that Cisco's innovative, beam-forming technology would make it the most cost-effective, highest-performing 4G wireless technology solution."
"Our experience with Cisco deployments, which now provide 4G wireless broadband to approximately 1 million covered Points of Presence, has exceeded our expectations and enabled us to compete effectively against incumbent DSL
and cable providers, as well as 4G wireless Internet service providers such as Clearwire,” also said Pagon.
To date, Xanadoo has deployed Cisco mobile WiMAX base stations and customer premise equipment (CPE) equipment in many U.S. markets. It is now expanding into new markets like Springfield and Decatur, Ill, apart from upgrading its service in Texas and Oklahoma with the latest Cisco mobile WiMAX technologies.
