GigaBeam's WiFiber technology is similar to terrestrial fiber in terms of speed and reliability. WiFiber has a substantial advantage over terrestrial fiber because it can be rapidly deployed and costs significantly less to deploy than terrestrial fiber. Terrestrial fiber can take months to deploy and also require significant regulatory and environmental approvals prior to installation.
"Emerging economies such as the Czech Republic where wireless infrastructures are not as developed represent an ideal market for GigaBeam products that provide individuals and business with easily deployable broadband Internet access," said Louis Slaughter, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GigaBeam. "We look forward to expanding our footprint in the Czech Republic and developing new sales leads in the near future."
GigaBeam WiFiber products operate in the 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz upper millimeter wave spectrum bands. The Federal Communications Commission and the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) and certain other countries for licensed wireless commercial use have authorized this portion of the spectrum.
