NEC Corporation is selected to provide WiMAX systems to medical facilities located in Thailand's northern Chiang Khong region. Thailand's Crown Prince Hospital Foundation has more than twenty domestic hospitals throughout the country.
In January 2008 trial licenses were issued to 12 communications carriers in order to introduce WiMAX service nationwide. As efforts to promote broadband expansion outside of Bangkok progress, expectations for WiMAX wireless broadband infrastructure is on the rise. Early indications show that despite regional constraints and usage limitations, demand for WiMAX access, beyond large scale services, currently exists. NEC regards its WiMAX services for Chiang Khong medical care as part of the expansion of local demand.
The Chiang Khong hospital WiMAX services will provide wireless broadband communications to locations within a maximum of five kilometers and expands communications beyond fixed analog telephone lines to include new video and TV phone services that can assist with remote medical care.
The efficiency of daily medical care will be improved by granting doctors access to high speed transmission for large capacity data, including images and information.
In terms of Asian development, NEC began participating in Taiwan based WiMAX system trials in 2007, which resulted in an order for services from Tatung InfoComm in December of the same year.
Taiwan's movement towards becoming a highly information-oriented society has placed the country in a leadership position in the advancement of global WiMAX expansion.
