Macedonia to get world's largest WiFi network

IT Industry - Strategy

US manufacturer of WiFi mesh technology, Strix Systems, has been selected by a Macedonian ISP to create a country-wide wireless mesh network that will be capable of delivering broadband data, video and VoIP to the entire population.

The 2600 square kilometre network, funded and deployed by Macedonian service provider On.Net, will, according to Strix Systems, be the single largest broadband wireless network in the world. On.Net has already deployed Strix's multi-radio wireless mesh throughout Macedonia's capital city of Skopje where it provides wireless broadband capabilities to the nearly one million inhabitants.

Strix Systems claims that On.Net selected its Access/One technology after testing multiple single - and dual-radio wireless mesh products. "Due to the mountainous terrain of the country and the inherent throughput limitations of single- and dual-radio solutions, all other systems failed to provide acceptable levels of performance for even basic data services, not to mention real-time services like wireless VoIP (wVoIP)," Strix claims.
