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 has initiated its two-city, phased deployment in Cambodia's capital city of Phnom Penh and is currently serving hundreds of business and residential subscribers. 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.

"Redline has helped carriers around the world to install and deploy reliable, profitable WiMAX networks to deliver the advanced services its customers need," said Kevin Suitor, Vice President, Marketing & Business Development, Redline Communications Group Inc. "There are now more than 150 deployments of our WiMAX Forum Certified RedMAX products worldwide, 49 of which are revenue-generating commercial networks. Working with ECOMM Tech, CityLink has planned a professional WiMAX network that we expect will generate a rapid return on investment."

"Redline's RedMAX WiMAX offering have proven to be a cost-effective and reliable solution for expanding and enhancing communications networks," said Benjamin Fang, Business Manager, ECOMM Tech. "CityLink's well-planned WiMAX strategy will enable its customers to benefit from true broadband access."
