RDL Comunicações, Ltd., a São Paulo-based Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP), was preparing a large-scale wireless broadband rollout to deploy broadband service to 10 rural cities and need to find a solution with an ideal balance of high-performance and cost-effectiveness. After evaluating solutions, RDL deployed Proxim's unlicensed WiMAX and wireless backhaul technology to enable broadband service in 10 cities throughout Brazil.
Utilising a combination of Proxim's Tsunami™ QuickBridge and new Tsunami QB-8150 radios for wireless backhaul and Proxim's Tsunami MP.11 unlicensed WiMAX radios to provide wireless access, RDL has deployed an end-to-end wireless broadband network with the capacity needed to support subscribers in 10 cities at a fraction of the cost of deploying fibre or copper cables. The cities in which RDL has currently launched service via Proxim's equipment are: Barueri, Carapicuiba, Caieiras, Cotia, Franco da Rocha, Jandira, Itapevi, Osasco, Santana do Parnaiba and São Paulo.
