MWEB plans WiMax trial extension
MWEB has been trialing its WiMax service for many months, and is planning to extend its coverage and add additional users to the network.
MWEB currently has 830 users on the trial, and 7 active base stations. These WiMax base stations are situated in Cape Town Foreshore, Cape Town Plumstead, Cape Town N1 City, Boksburg, Randburg, Sandton and Soweto.
MWEB is planning to erect an eighth base station in Cresta, but this will be dependant on a license extension from ICASA. The company also previously said that it plans to reach 1000 trial users on its network.
MWEB’s trial licence officially expires on Tuesday 22 January, and unless ICASA issues MWEB with a license extension the company will not be allowed to continue trialing the service.
The company said that it has applied for an extension to its current trial license some time ago, but they are still waiting for a decision from ICASA.
