ADNSL Deploys SkyPilot for Broadband Wireless in Bangladesh

Advanced Data Networks System Limited has deployed SkyPilot’s equipment to provide broadband wireless services within the metropolitan area of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The network provides Internet access services to both ‘last-mile’ fixed locations and portable Wi-Fi devices.

ADN is one of the leading companies in Bangladesh providing seamless and secured connectivity using fiber, satellite and wireless solutions. ADN is the prime service provider for domestic and international connectivity services and solutions duly authorized by the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC). The ADN wireless Internet service is branded as “ADN Wi-Fi+” and principally serves small- to medium-sized businesses in multiple regions around Dhaka. ADN Wi-Fi+ also services several residential areas as well as universities and hotels.

“SkyPilot’s equipment has allowed us to build a broadband wireless network that serves the needs of a broad customer base,” said Asif Mahmood, chairman of ADN. “In addition, since SkyPilot was so easy to deploy, we were about to leverage our first-mover advantage to market an affordable high-speed wireless Internet service in Bangladesh. Our customers can now get hassle-free broadband Internet at their business, in their home, and in areas in-between.”

ADN utilizes a combination of SkyGateways and SkyExtenders to backhaul their broadband wireless networks, SkyExtender DualBands to provide Wi-Fi HotSpots, and SkyConnectors to provide the customer premise equipment (CPE) to last-mile subscribers.

“At SkyPilot, we’re focused on providing solutions to Internet services providers (ISPs) seeking to move from dial-up to broadband but without requiring the recurring monthly costs of DSL or leased lines,” said Gordon Wilcox, sales director for Asia Pacific at SkyPilot. “By leveraging a common platform, SkyPilot can help wireless ISPs build flexible, long-range solutions that offer high-quality services.”
