Altai Super WiFi

For Immediate Release

Altai Super WiFi for Island Resort Wireless Internet Access in a

Malaysian Rainforest Environment
To Provide Fast Internet, VoIP & CCTV Service with Only One-Tenth of the
APs Required by Traditional WiFi AP
Hong Kong, Dec 16, 2009 Altai Technologies, a carrier-grade Super WiFi equipment
supplier today announced that the Berjaya Langkawi Resort in Malaysia has deployed
Altais Super WiFi Solution for its hotel-wide wireless network. Popup Solutions, a
leading system integrator and an Altai Technologies partner, assisted the hotel with the
network design and deployment.
The Berjaya Langkawi Resort with its 502 guest rooms is a sprawling 3 km long, 70
acres hotel nestled within the Burau Bay area, located in the northern part of Langkawi
Island. The rooms are scattered along the beach and cocooned inside the 5 million year
old native rainforest. The wireless network covers both the inside and outside of all the
chalet rooms as well as all hotel facilities, including the ball room, beach area,
restaurants, pool area, hotel lobby, childrens playground and many others.
There were many challenges in building this wireless network as it needs to cover a
large area with diverse terrain, such as the beach and the rainforest. Moreover, no tall
structures can be built to facilitate mounting of the access points due to environmental
concerns. The hotel had tested many types of equipment from different WiFi vendors
without success, until they tried Altais Super WiFi solution said Frank Lai, CEO of
Popup Solutions. We out compete all the mesh equipment vendors which required 10
times more access points than Altai.
Yet another breakthrough for Altai Super WiFi it is able to cover the entire resort
nestled in a large, dense forest reservation area over 3 km long and 70 acres in size.
We are honored that Berjaya Langkawi Resort has chosen Altais Super WiFi Solution
for its wireless network, said Chi-hung Lin, President & CEO of Altai Technologies.
The hotel management had tested many WiFi products but none could penetrate the
thick forest except Altai. Trees, vegetation are extremely difficult and challenging for any
wireless deployment, as all plants absorb wireless signal like a sponge. With our
patented algorithms and long range wireless technology, we are able to overcome all the
challenges in providing high speed wireless internet access for this hotel within such a
special environment. More applications such as VoIP, wireless CCTV will be rolled out
in the second phase of the project.
Altais advanced wireless technology requires dramatically fewer APs per square
kilometer of coverage, which enables WiFi service providers to quickly build a wireless
broadband network with wide coverage at a much lower total project cost. Additionally,
the network offers end-users a range of rich, real-time broadband services, including
VoIP, video streaming and interactive gaming.
