EOL Plans Wireless Expansion

EOL Plans Wireless Expansion With World-Beating Israeli Technology Eliminating Need For High Towers

Award-winning Tauranga-based wireless broadband company EOL has partnered with a world-leading Israeli technology company in its latest
steps to expand its network.

Enternet Online Limited (EOL) has teamed with the Israeli company Wavion, a leader in urban and rural Wi Fi - along with Airoma, a New Zealand distributor of wireless hardware. Terry Coles, EOL Managing Director, says one of the big advantages of Wavion technology is that it doesn’t require the construction of large and costly, potentially controversial towers.

“In contrast to more conventional equipment, Wavion base stations can be installed discretely on street lamp poles and buildings – a far more environmentally sensitive approach,” says Coles.

EOL has just upgraded most of its network, shifting from conventional access points to Wavion WBS 2400 SDMA base stations, which are used in conjunction with off-the-shelf Wi Fi client
devices.

“As an award winning wireless ISP, we owe much of our recent success to the use of Wavion’s technology in our network. It has greatly increased our capacity, reliability and performance,” says Coles.

Wavion’s CEO Tal Meirzon says his company is proud to partner with Airoma and EOL in the New Zealand project.

“We are pleased that our superior coverage, capacity and reliability have significantly contributed to EOL’s success. It is yet another proof of the added value of our unique and powerful beam-forming
technology – for wide area coverage in urban and rural settings,” says Meirzon.

Coles says the Wavion equipment provides EOL with a real edge in its efforts to work with the Government on rural broadband initiatives. EOL plans to partner with network players including
established broadband providers, and regional electricity lines companies, to provide wireless links for the Government’s Rural Broadband Initiative (RBI).

“We have well-proven capabilities - and we’re well positioned to deliver seamless, high-speed wireless services to the central North Island’s rural communities,” says Coles.

EOL is also preparing to launch an internet telephony (VOIP) service. Unlike most other ISPs, the company owns its network so is able to separate voice and data traffic from the customer’s
wireless connection to EOL’s exchange, and give voice calls higher priority, producing a high quality result.

EOL recently became the only Internet Service Provider surveyed by Consumer Magazine to receive 100 percent customer satisfaction. The company has also been consistently rated the fastest
wireless ISP in New Zealand for both uploads and downloads, by the benchmark website www.speedtest.net

The successes have come as the company celebrated its 15th birthday as an independent Tauranga wireless broadband company.
