UQ Communications – a Japanese consortium led by KDDI and also including Intel, JR East, Kyocera and several banks – launches a commercial Mobile Wimax trial service at Tokyo, Yokohama and Kawasaki. Nagoya and Osaka will also go online in June. This means the major areas of Japan will be covered at a 40$ monthly flat-rate, a rather interesting fee.

As part of the FET’s (Taiwan’s Far EasTone Telecom) role in the national M-Taiwan project, Motorola announced that he has secured two new contracts for WIMAX network infrastructure. The WiMAX network deployment is actually the largest roll out in Taiwan.

Jeffey Gee, executive vice president, Network Technology of Far EasTone Telecom, declared: “Underlying the M-Taiwan project is a complete WiMAX ecosystem to create city-wide broadband network in order to roll out integrated mobile services. As this is a crucial element of the project, we have turned to Motorola for its expertise to design, supply, and deploy a world-class network that will support a multi-vendor environment while enabling future growth as well.”

The project will be executed in 2-phases. The first implementation will commence in October 2007 and is expected to be completed by end December, 2007. The second phase is expected to be completed in early 2008.
