Kuala Lumpur, April 22, 2009 – Green Packet Berhad (Greenpacket), supported by Packet One Networks (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (P1) and Alcatel-Lucent, will be hosting the Greenpacket Live WiMAX Network Tour (GP LWNT) for delegates on April 27, ahead of this year’s WiMAX Forum Congress Asia 2009 (WFCA 2009) to be held on the subsequent two days.

The Greenpacket LWNT will enable participating delegates the opportunity to witness full WiMAX connectivity and coverage, and seamless mobility with auto hand-off switching across WiMAX and WiFi networks. The participating delegates will be shuttled by private coaches from Singapore Suntec Convention to Johor Bahru (JB), Malaysia for the Live trialling experience. Members of the entourage will also gather to share industry insights towards the evening at Danga Bay’s Cultural Village accompanied by dinner and traditional cultural performances of richly diverse Malaysia.

Mr Kelvin Lee, Senior General Manager of Greenpacket Solution said, “Interest in WiMAX is sweeping across the Asia Pacific region as fast as wildfire and Greenpacket is at the forefront of this blaze. We aim to be a global market leader in developing software and value-added services and devices surrounding WiMAX.”

The Greenpacket Group of Companies has demonstrated a firm commitment to the WiMAX technology as evident by the significant milestones achievements of Group subsidiaries; P1 Malaysia as WiMAX operator and service provider, and P1 International, which has leveraged on the tried and tested commercial roll-out successes of P1 Malaysia to offer valuable WiMAX consulting service for aspiring WiMAX operators globally.

“With WFCA 2009 taking place right across the border of our operational base, we take it upon ourselves to make sure that anyone wanting to understand and experience WiMAX is given the opportunity to do so on a large-scale Live network,” he added.

While growth rates in virtually every sector have stagnated due to the global economic crisis, most countries are anticipating steady growth in the ICT sector, with WiMAX playing an important part in spurring that growth: Malaysia for example is looking at recording 5% growth in 2009 (according to PIKOM - Association of the Computer and Multimedia Industry of Malaysia).

Lee said, “Global-scale events such as WFCA being held in this part of the world is important to accelerate the exciting momentum of WiMAX in this region.”

Numerous key industry players and operators attending WFCA 2009 have signed up for the Greenpacket Live WiMAX Network Tour with limited seats available.
