HotZone

From WikiCover

On July 9, 2007, GlobeTel announced that in order to service broadband Internet customers in Rancho Don Antonio, an eight-thousand-home community in the Mexico City suburb of Tizayuca, a HotZone powered wireless backhaul link of more than eighteen miles was established originating from the main HotZone base in Pachuca.

Internet connectivity was delivered utilizing three 5.8 Ghz point-to-point microwave links including a single twelve-mile microwave hop. 802.11b wireless broadband was then delivered through a series of point to multipoint connections throughout the first phase of the community, creating a Wi-Fi hotspot. GlobeTel believes that the single point-to-point twelve-mile link showcases the true flexibility of its HotZone technology; withstanding transmission requirements over long distances utilizing comparatively few physical resources.

Until it was introduced to HotZone technology, Rancho Don Antonio was devoid of any broadband Internet network services. Rancho Don Antonio and nearby Santa Matilde, a community with seven thousand households also in the process of being introduced to the HotZone technology, are typical of the newer middle class, high-density communities being built in Mexico and considered very receptive markets for HotZone technology.
