TORRANCE, Calif.-Telemobile Inc. has joined with Belgium-based Telkon N.V. to provide a series of wireless products for what it calls the Wireless Rural Loop.
“While the rapidly growing urban cellular radio markets have reduced the need for additional methods of wireless telecommunications in the cities, the demand for alternative and more economical solutions in rural areas continues to grow at a rapid pace,” Telemobile said.
The company said it will meet those needs with a series of point-to-point and point-to-multipoint, fixed-terminal products that can be configured to provide a combination of voice, fax and data services using the VHF and UHF frequency bands.
The technology is optimized for a low number of users spread over a broad area and can deliver service at a cost of $800 to $4,000 per telephone line or subscriber.
