This results in higher capacity, few base stations and lower spectrum license costs to deliver highly competitive and resilient services.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">iBurst has now been recognised by ATIS\/ANSI, the ITU, and as a candidate technology within the IEEE802.20 Standard. iBurst is currently available in South Africa, Australia, Ghana, Kenya, Lebanon, Canada, Azerbaijan, Norway and Malaysia. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">The ITU is an international organisation within the United Nations system where governments and the private sector coordinate global telecom networks and services.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">Thami Mtshali, CEO of iBurst, has welcomed the ITU accreditation of iBurst technology as a vote of confidence in iBurst\u2019s ability to help bridge the digital divide in developing countries like South Africa.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">Locally, High Capacity Spatial Division Multiple Access (HC-SDMA) is the engine driving 138 active base stations across South Africa. The country\u2019s major metropolitan areas are all covered as are the capitals of all nine provinces and dozens of smaller towns and cities across the country.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">The Managing Executive Officer of Kyocera, Eiichi Toriyama, welcomed the ITU Recommendation and observed that, \u201cThe spread of this advanced technology into Africa, Europe and America is an exciting development, particularly because it requires far less spectrum and has lower investment risks than other systems that attempt to deliver reliable fully mobile broadband services indoors and out and on the move&quot;.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/vb\/showthread.php?t=72348\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<p \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The International Telecommunications Union (ITU), in its \u201cRecommendation for Broadband Wireless Access\u201d, has formally recommended HC-SDMA as a technology capable of delivering wireless data at broadband rates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-552026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552026"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=552026"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552026\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=552026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=552026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=552026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
