www.WirelessFederation.com/news: A high speed wireless broadband service has been launched by Sasatel Tanzania based on WiMAX technology in the capital Dar es Salaam. Sasatel has also promised that it is not going to pass on the installation costs to customers or in other words it will provide a ‘low cost’ broadband option to end users.

The company said that all this have been possible because of its link to the Seacom fibre-optic cable which helps it effectively to eliminate its WiMAX investment costs. According to products director Thomas Andre Molvig, after launching its EV-DO internet services for small and medium-sized businesses in June last year, the company is now launching WiMAX internet access to cater for the internet needs of large businesses and corporate customers.

In June 2009, Sasatel became the seventh company to provide mobile services in the country with the commercial launch of the new network in the capital Dar es Salaam.
