Taiwan International Standard Electronics (TAISEL, also called Alcatel TAISEL), on February 16, won an open bid to supply WiMAX equipment to Chunghwa Telecom, having offered NT$79 million (US$2.4 million), almost 10% lower than the price of main competitor Nortel Networks, according to the Chinese-language newspaper Economic Daily News (EDN).
TAISEL is a joint venture of Alcatel and CHT, with the former being the majority shareholder.
The supply will mainly consist of 33 802.16e2005 WiMAX base stations reaching broadband transfer rates of 50-100Mbps, EDN pointed out. TAISEL will begin shipments in March 2007. CHT will use the equipment to establish a few WiMAX corridors along main highways to connect more than 10 industrial parks in Taoyuan County, northern Taiwan, EDN indicated.
Nortel had previously won a contract in early December 2006 to supply WiMAX equipment for CHT's setting up of a WiMAX network in Yilan County, also in northern Taiwan.
