World IT Report, Apr 9, 2003
FSM Telecommunications Corporation has signed a $4.4 million contract with interWAVE Communications for the deployment of GSM- based cellular and broadband access network equipment throughout the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM).
FSM Telecommunications Corporation, the national communications operator, provides all telecommunication services for the FSM, which consists of 607 individual islands stretching 1,700 miles across the western Pacific Ocean. The initial deployment will provide integrated cellular and broadband networks in Pohnpei, Chuuk, Yap, and Kosrae, with Pohnpei serving as a centralized management and administrative center.
The flexibility of interWAVE’s GSM and broadband solutions enables the deployment of a cost-effective switch and wireless transport for the islands
