With the support of ADC, Telinor Television will begin trials early next month in coordination with the Federal Telecommunications Commission of Mexico (COFETEL COFETEL Comisión Federal de Telecomunicaciones (México) ). COFETEL will use the technical and market data from the trials to complete its service definition for use of the two-way MMDS spectrum in Mexico. As an extension of a U.S. $6 million contract, ADC will integrate its next-generation Axity(TM) Broadband Wireless Access system into Telinor's network to enable the delivery of two-way broadband data services to businesses. ADC will supply and install its Axity platform in a supercell configuration, covering Telinor's entire service area (covering a population of more than five million). The trials will be deployed in the city of Toluca, Mexico, making use of MMDS frequencies licensed to Telinor as well as the 2150 to 2162 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. band specifically assigned by COFETEL for this use. "We are pleased to participate in these important trials by providing ADC's Axity carrier-class system," said John Griffin, president of ADC's Broadband Wireless Group.
