TORONTO, March 18 /CNW/ - Redline Communications Group Inc., a leading provider of standards-based WiMAX and broadband wireless infrastructure products, today announced that CityLink, the largest Internet Service Provider in Cambodia, has chosen Redline's WiMAX Forum Certified(TM) RedMAX(TM) products for its multi-city WiMAX network.

CityLink allows its WiMAX subscribers to choose from a variety of service packages, including WiMAX(at)Night, WiMAX(at)Home and WiMAX Unlimited. The internet service provider plans to extend its RedMAX network to the well established tourist city of Siem Reap, serving thousands of subscribers in 2008, and to extend its network to an additional ten cities in 2009.
"To meet growing demand for broadband services throughout Cambodia, CityLink required a WiMAX solution that could support a high capacity of users while enabling us to deliver the service packages that meet our customers' needs," said Rotha Chhay, Chief Executive Officer, CityLink. "Redline's true open WiMAX system, with its ease of installation, enabled us to quickly and cost-effectively integrate RedMAX with our existing wired network and immediately offer WiMAX services to our subscribers."
CityLink is among the latest service providers in Asia to adopt WiMAX technologies to expand its existing communications networks. The CityLink deployment is being managed by ECOMM Tech, a systems integrator and Redline Certified Silver Partner.
