Capital Tech to provide end-to-end solution for ISPs

HYDERABAD: Capital Technologies Ltd. (CTL) of Hyderabad will provide

end-to-end solutions to Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The company has a

fixed wireless system, Last Mile Solution (LMS2000), which will enable the ISPs

to provide broadband communication services to small, medium and large business

organizations.

The LMS2000 from CTL is a broadband solution with features like rapid

deployment, flexibility and scalability. It can be used to complement existing

services or as a standalone solution for new market opportunities. The system

which comprises Network Access Point (NAP), Communication Access Point (CAP) and

a wireless modem (end-user modem), is priced at Rs 47 lakh, Rs 24 lakh and Rs 1.5 lakh, respectively.

The network access point is in effect the "Internet Gateway", which

is a combination of communications hardware and software facilitating the

connection of communication access points to the Internet. CAP provides the ‘last

mile’ connectivity between the Internet and end user modems.

CAPs operate in both the 900MHz and 2.4 GHz range with both the high-speed

business wireless modems and lower speed consumer wireless modems. "ISPs

can use broadband wireless as a complementary option to xDSL, fiber or cable.

Since optical fiber is expensive and cable and xDSL do not reach all business

and homes, wireless ISPs will be viewed more favorably than wired services by

potential customers," said CTL vice president, marketing and sales, R Rajiv

David.

CTL has already tied up with WaveRider Inc., a Canada-based provider of

wireless products, for distributing its products in the country. According to the terms of the agreement, the Canadian firm will provide training and in-house support to CTL's products.
