DR Telecom has commenced the first phase of its network deployment in Santo Domingo and will deploy ADI's Pronghorn Metro multi-spectrum, multi-radio nodes powered by RoamAD's highly-flexible wireless networking platform.
The Pronghorn Metro Main Board supports a totally flexible mix of four MiniPCI radios -- any combination of high-power 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz, 4.9 GHz, 5 GHz, with an upgrade path to 3.5 GHz and WiMAX.
"ADI is excited to work in partnership with RoamAD and OEM partner aCure Technology to deliver cost-effective yet highly functional next generation Wi-Fi networks to the Dominican Republic," said Steve Yates, ADI's president, founder and CTO.
"ADI's Pronghorn Metro Main Board is an ideal hardware platform on which to operate RoamAD's wireless networking software to use at the core of the RoamAD multi-radio nodes," said Martyn Levy, RoamAD's CEO. "ADI's hardware is specifically designed to support the full flexibility and functionality of RoamAD's software," added Levy.
RoamAD OEM Partner aCure Technology will manufacture the RoamAD multi-radio nodes incorporating the ADI Pronghorn Metro Main Board for shipment to the Dominican Republic.
The launch of the DR Telecom network in Santo Domingo is scheduled for February 2007 when DR Telecom will offer fixed and mobile voice and broadband data services on a pre-paid basis. The network will also be used for other applications including video surveillance.
