Iraq Getting a WiMAX Network
Redline Communications has announced that it will deploy the first WiMAX network in Iraq on behalf of IRAQTEL, the telecom subsidiary of Al Emaar Holding Group. Vision Valley, a specialist in systems integration, network design and implementation. IRAQTEL will begin its RedMAX deployment in Basrah, and will expand its WiMAX network to include additional regions across Iraq.

"IRAQTEL has been searching for a WIMAX solution that would provide a cost-effectively alternative to VSAT networks, which have been the only available solution for establishing broadband connections because of the lack of copper line infrastructure ," said Sheikh Fawzi Al Lami, Chairman of IRAQTEL. "We chose Redline's RedMAX products to establish a carrier-class telecommunications backbone capable of supporting a scalable, high performance network."
