HONG KONG July 24, 2001 (AsiaPulse via COMTEX) -- Pacific Century Cyberworks Ltd (PCCW), Intel, Nokia and IBM have announced the launch of Hong Kong's first wireless broadband package.
The special promotion is the second phase of a high-performance computer-broadband offering spearheaded by PCCW and Intel. On July 4, the companies offered the first integrated hardware and software connectivity PC package to Hong Kong consumers, according to a statement.
The package includes 18 months of the fast connectivity of PCCW's NETVIGATOR broadband service, a Nokia MW1122 Broadband Wireless Gateway, and an IBM ThinkPad wireless-equipped laptop computer with an Intel Pentium III 750 Mhz processor.
The new wireless package also features an advanced Nokia Gateway that provides NETVIGATOR clients with multi-directional Internet connectivity -- even between floors -- within a radius of 50 meters. Clients are freed from clumsy wires and can access the Internet effortlessly and efficiently through their PCs, laptops, or PDAs, the statement said.
Since April, PCCW has been providing travelers with wireless broadband Internet access at Hong Kong's International Airport, in conjunction with the Airport Authority.
