Ruckus Delivers High-Speed Wireless Broadband in Mongolia

Feb 28, 2013 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Ruckus Wireless, Inc. announced that Nomsys, an Internet service provider based in Mongolia, has selected Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi products and technology to create a Wi-Fi access network in Mongolia's capital city of Ulaanbaatar.

The Company reported that the large-scale Wi-Fi network, known as the Community Involved Nomad Wi-Fi project, is currently being deployed by Nomsys throughout Ulaanbaatar, bringing Wi-Fi service to consumers and businesses via hundreds of Wi-Fi hotspots throughout the rural countryside where 70 percent of the city's one million residents live.

To build out its network footprint with wireless points of presence, Nomsys is deploying Ruckus indoor and outdoor access points (APs) in the city's suburbs as well as providing free Wi-Fi access points to select families that will, in turn, use that device to provide paid wireless access to others within a given area.

Nomsys Founder and CEO, Bat-Erdene Gankhuyag (G.Bat-Erdene), said, "The rural areas of Ulaanbaatar are very densely populated, and people who live there have very low income. For a majority of households there is no running water, central heating, and no sewage system. To require them to purchase costly equipment in order to gain cellular connectivity is just not plausible, which is why Wi-Fi is the ideal solution. Also, the involvement of the community itself is the key to success." "Internet access is becoming an essential element to how people now live, wherever they are," said G.Bat-Erdene. "Reliable Wi-Fi access increases economic opportunities and facilitates faster communications that can improve everyone's life. Broadband access is no longer a luxury that should only be available to a certain people, but rather a necessity to improve the quality of life for everyone."
