Allowing everyone at home to surf, stream and share multiple contents, Greenpacket, a developer of Next Generation mobile broadband and networking solutions, has unveiled two WiMAX (News - Alert) compliant indoor modems, the DV235 and DV360.

Entry level or value segment devices will allow operators to grow their subscriber without disrupting Capex or lowering current subscriber acquisition cost, combined with the way WiMAX is mainly utilized, where 80 percent of the usage is in an indoor environment. It allows operators to bring broadband connectivity to the masses who are similarly looking to have more variations of feature full and cost effective CPEs that will not break the bank, by offering a new and diverse indoor modem, the company stated in a press release.

“WiMAX technology has reached a market maturity where it is no longer centered at premium or top-tier users but has now mainly moved to mass-market subscribers in the mid-tier to lower-tier markets, this shift is evident in most markets globally where we are seeing an increasing demand for mid and lower tier service subscription across WiMAX operator’s network especially in the APAC, MENA & CALA region.” said Kelvin Lee, Senior General Manager of Greenpacket.

By developing innovative products to meet the specific needs of its customers globally and to also capture new market segments, Greenpacket maintains its status as the world’s third largest device manufacturer. Greenpacket is often a provider of choice for WiMAX operators around the world, because of its capabilities of producing a broad and complete range of cost effective yet high performance WiMAX devices.

Recently, the company partnered with Wateen Telecom where Greenpacket will supply its high-gain modem, the UH350, to Wateen Telecom, Pakistan’s leading WiMAX operator. The contract has been signed for two years. The UH350 is suitable for Wateen Telecom’s youth segment in key metro areas such as Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad. Wateen Telecom was started by the Abu Dhabi Group, which also owns Warid Telecom (News - Alert), Pakistan’s mobile operator.
