We have implemented the fiber backbone link to be nearly covering the whole
country area for the purpose of not only voice, but especially for Broadband
services.
At the first phase, we are launching ADSL 2 + high speed internet access by using
existing copper wire at the state and division and District areas.
For a second phase, we are planning to be launching . Wi-Max broadband access
at the remote areas as we have the high speed fiber link connected to ISP. For
Yangon, we already have Broadband WLL and kuband satellite Broadband
system for the remote areas.
We have implemented e-Government Data center and we should have the
broadband access for the efficient application of over e-Government system.
As a pilot project, we are planning Wi - Fi and Wi- Max system at our Silicon
Village which was start implementing now at the upper Myanmar.
At the same time, we like to invite the Foreign investors as we will have Hardware
and Software Lot, incubation center and R & D centers.
