Casil Telecommunications Holdings (Castel) is seeking Internet service providers and telecoms operators in China and Hong Kong as clients for its newly launched wireless broadband Internet access system.
Called CB-Access, the system enables end-users to access the Internet from the backbone cable network in cities and provinces without the costly 'last-mile cable connection' to their companies or homes.
The wireless coverage reaches up to 10 kilometres.
Castel is in talks with the mainland's two leading telecoms, China Telecom and China Unicom, as well as some of the six licensed wireless broadband network operators in Hong Kong.
Vice-chairman Wang Xiaodong said his company was keen to tap the mainland's growing demand for information and to target end-users including business, learning and research institutes and households.
He predicted that sales of the wireless broadband access system would account for about half of his company's turnover in two years.
