Mexico City is the second-largest city in the world,
and MVS Communications believes it is just the right spot to launch
a high-speed wireless service.
The television and radio programmer is turning to NextNet Wireless
to put its plan into action. NextNet will supply its Expedience
non-line-of-sight broadband wireless access system. The Expedience
system uses indoor, plug-and-play subscriber units for cell radius'
up to five miles, and outdoor, bracket-mount subscriber units
for extended range cell radius' up to 20 miles.
MVS will first target Mexico's three largest cities -- Mexico
City, Guadalajara and Monterrey -- when it launches the high-speed
service this summer. By the end of 2003, the company plans to
extend its service offering to 50 percent of Mexico's population
by launching the service in six additional cities.
NextNet's Expedience NLOS system was commercially deployed in
Northern Iowa in December 2001.
