Giliran Y-MAX semarakkan dunia WiMax tempatan

Y-MAX Networks Sdn Bhd (Y-MAX), anak syarikat YTL e-Solutions Bhd, baru-baru ini menyemarakkan lagi dunia WiMax tempatan dengan prapelancaran perkhidmatan berkenaan untuk kawasan perniagaan terpilih di kawasan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur.

Pengerusi Eksekutif dan Pengarah Urusan YTL e-Solutions, Tan Sri Dr Francis Yeoh, berkata Y-MAX memperkenalkan perkhidmatan yang menumpu kepada penyediaan akses jalur lebar Internet tanpa wayar dan data berkelajuan tinggi kepada pelanggan korporat terpilih.

Katanya, pengenalan perkhidmatan itu menyediakan sambungan berkelajuan tinggi bagi memenuhi keperluan pelanggan korporatnya.

“Pengenalan perkhidmatan sambungan internet jalur lebar ini kepada perusahaan berkenaan hanyalah permulaan kepada syarikat.

“Dalam jangka terdekat ini, kami akan menonjolkan potensi sebenar WiMax kepada semua penduduk Malaysia dan mereka berpeluang merasai pengalaman itu,” katanya dalam kenyataan, minggu lalu.

Y-MAX adalah satu daripada empat syarikat yang diberikan spektrum 2.3 GHz oleh Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia (SKMM) untuk melaksanakan perkhidmatan WiMax di negara ini.

Syarikat itu baru-baru ini mengumumkan pakatan strategik dengan Sprint-Nextel Corp, syarikat berpangkalan di Amerika Syarikat untuk menggunakan infrastruktur dan perkhidmatan WiMax di Malaysia.

Sprint adalah peneraju dalam membangun dan melaksanakan teknologi jalur lebar generasi seterusnya dan syarikat berkenaan memainkan peranan besar dalam penubuhan Y-MAX serta mewujudkan ekosistem WiMax di Malaysia menerusi penyediaan sokongan pembangunan perniagaan serta teknikal.

Keupayaan mudah alih WiMax membolehkan pengguna menikmati pengalaman perayauan data lebih mantap, menjadikan teknologi berkenaan sebagai platform utama generasi akan datang yang ingin menggunakan perkhidmatan komunikasi.

Di Malaysia, Y-MAX akan menyediakan pakej WiMax yang pantas, liputan luas dan perkhidmatan video, data dan suara yang sentiasa berhubung bagi memenuhi keperluan berkomunikasi pengguna daripada semua peringkat, termasuk komuniti perniagaan.

Sepanjang tempoh dua minggu lalu, tiga lagi pemegang lesen spektrum WiMax di negara ini melancarkan perkhidmatan masing-masing bermula dengan Packet One Networks (M) Sdn Bhd (P1) pada 19 Ogos lalu.

Ini disusuli pelancaran perkhidmatan WiMax bagi sektor perusahaan di Sabah oleh REDtone International Bhd sehari selepasnya.

Akhir bulan lalu, Asiaspace Sdn Bhd muncul syarikat ketiga yang melancarkan perkhidmatan WiMax yang dipasarkan di bawah jenama 'amax' dengan liputan awalnya di Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI).

Exactly the same article, only in different language? Not much press release other than this. What took YTL so long to plan a pre-release and it's only available in Bukit Bintang, I wonder why they choose that place. It's either they have some great strategies in their pockets or they are just ignorant about their competitors moves.

P1 certainly seems like making more efforts. But we'll see who's the eventual winner. Maybe a classic TM vs Jaring scenario at the end of the day?

I believe YTL-E WiMAX and Airzed WiMAX are the same thing. Please refer to Airzed website for their WiMAX service as Airzed is a company under YTL-E.

The reason why Bukit Bintang is selected probably because YTL has a lot of building around that area making their site acquisition as easy as ABC. Not to mention, their office at Lot 10 ... ehehehe ...

Airzed wimax: RM188/month for 1024/128. Really slow upload! Will they get any customers at that price? Do they want any customers?

Yeah, the price is a turn off, and slow upload will not do any favor in helping them to land geeky customers.

For this much can get streamyx 4mb already. Do they really think wireless mobility is that great that people would pay a lot of money for it

??

Wired is better then wireless anytime of the day no matter who says otherwise. Even when networking at home, wireless can never beat wired in terms of performance. The only reason people would use wireless is for the convenience, usually newbies rely on wireless a lot because they don't appreciate the performance that wired offers

Even though i got a wireless router at home, i use an eletrical Ethernet homeplug instead which has much faster speed and can also offer me the advantage of mobility as long as there is a power socket close by

So what exactly is YTL offering in their 1mb package compared to Tmnut 1mb ? nevermind their other packages. Are they guranteeing no throttling and unlimited bandwidth ? If not, they must be dreaming if any sensible person would want to pay more for less

Everybody knows tmnut sux, but at least its cheaper and better then the competitors so far WHICH is a sad thing for the state of our broadband in the country .........

Agree with your opinion, maybe they target at the town area for getting more $.

But, 2MB 512kb RM669 per month for personal use are not recomended.

maybe rich people may use it.

I assum that less people use, fast respond time, no limited bandwith (assum only) [Due to expensive]

maybe this company didn't get the intel fund?

Anyway, Bukit Bintang only hotel and shopping complex many. the 1 resident place near bukit bintang only hang tua.

Streamyx Corperate SOHO SDSL 1.5m UP, 1.5m Down cost RM1024 will be more worth?
(customer service few hour respond, less downtime, no limit = RM1024)

RM699? business?

Any opinion about how they making $?

Intel Fund is only RM50 million, it's a small amount for YTL corporation.

I believe they are waiting for Xohm to see how Sprint runs their business ... it's better to follow the successful model than taking the lead into the black hole.
