Products and services

WiMAX

P1 W1MAX

P1 W1MAX is presently a fixed portable broadband service that runs on the 2.3 GHz WiMAX spectrum and 802.16e 2005 standard, which is known as Mobile WiMAX. It enables wireless broadband access up to 30 miles (50 km) from the base station.

P1 W1MAX offers three type of modems:

  • P1 W1MAX DS300 Shared Modem
  • P1 W1MAX DV230 Shared Modem that integrates WiMAX, 802.11 b/g WiFi and voice functionality into one device.
  • P1 W1MAX DX230 New 3-in-1 Modem that integrates WiMAX, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi and voice [8].

WIGGY

P1 W1MAX's On-the-Go Portable Modem is called WIGGY [9]

P1 W1MAX offers three packages:

  • WIGGY 129 which has speeds up to 3 Mbit/s;
  • WIGGY 89 which has speeds up to 1.5 Mbit/s.
  • WIGGY 58 which has speeds up to 600 kbit/s

The WIGGY is also available in prepaid.

Initially, the WIGGY was advertised to offer speeds of up to 10Mbps. At the time the package was offered, it was the fastest wireless package offered in Malaysia. However this package was quickly pulled when the company received backlash after many of the subscribers found that they were unable to achieve the 10Mbps speed.[citation needed]

WiMAX for Embedded Devices

P1 W1MAX also offers WiMAX subscription for Intel powered Netbook and Notebooks that are WiMAX ready.

4G WiMAX Network

P1 occasionally advertises its network as a '4G' network. However, this is primarily a marketing gimmick because at the time of writing, WiMAX does not meet the ITU's specification of 4G which requires attaining a download speed of 1Gbps for tabletop transceivers and 100Mbps for mobile transceivers. However, P1 isn't alone in this misleading marketing gimmick, two other[which?] WiMAX-based ISPs also market the technology as 4G.

The fact that the upcoming WiMAX Release 2 aka IEEE 802.16m specification does adhere to the 4G specifications and is officially recognized by the ITU as a 4G system only further adds to the confusion.

For that matter, no current LTE network meets the ITU requirements for IMT-Advanced networks. The new LTE-Advanced 3GPP rel 9 and WiMAX 2 IEEE 802.16m systems have yet to be commercially deployed. However, most WiMAX and LTE networks should be upgradable to the 'true 4G' versions.
