Wytec Inc. and the Pilipino Telephone Corp. are conducting a joint trial of Wytec’s local multipoint distribution service equipment in Manila to ascertain its performance under certain operating conditions in the Philippines, said the companies.
The trial of Wytec’s Causeway1 and Causeway2 is providing data on various technical factors that are known to significantly impact performance. Once concluded, the information gathered will allow the deployment of the Causeway LMDS products in countries with heavy rainfall or other conditions studied during the trial, said Wytec.
“Even though millimeterwave signals are severely attenuated by rain, the test, thus far, has shown that Wytec’s LMDS products provide reliable communications under local climatological conditions,” said Ernesto Garcia, chief operating officer of Piltel.
