NEW YORK-CKW Wireless Pty. Ltd., the Australian subsidiary of ArrayComm Inc., San Jose, Calif., has obtained a $14 million capital infusion from two new strategic partners, Mitsubishi Corp. and e-millennium Asia L.P.
CKW, which owns Australian spectrum licenses, has begun a pre-commercial, first-phase deployment of ArrayComm’s i-Burst technology, which will provide high-speed, wireless data communications over about 60 square miles in the Sydney metropolitan area.
“Being part of the world’s first i-Burst deployment also opens international possibilities. What can be achieved in Australia can easily be exported to other parts of the world,” said Masayuki Kasahara, generation manager of Mitsubishi’s international development project unit.
