BigAir Group has decided to take on the mobile broadband market with the signing of a new wholesale agreement with Unwired Australia. The new deal not only allows BigAir to sell Unwired's laptop wireless card, it puts it into growing Melbourne market as well.
Unwired's fledgling Melbourne network is taking flight with another four towers going online, significantly increasing the company's coverage of the southern capital. The carrier's network now covers more than a quarter of a million Melbourne homes with residents in Kew, Balwyn, Hawthorn, Brunswick and all parts of North East and North Melbourne including Essendon, Ivanhoe, Canterbury and Caulfield, now able to get online (or offline?) using the wireless broadband service. BigAir Group Limited Chief Executive Officer Jason Ashton said, "We are strong believers in the Unwired wireless broadband technology and this agreement reaffirms our commitment to a technology we believe to be one of the most advanced and cost-efficient wireless technologies available in the world." "Opening up the Melbourne market for BigAir to sell Unwired PC cards and desktops is also expected to improve subscriber growth for BigAir," he said. www.bigair.com.au www.unwired.com.au Related news items Newer news items
