SAN DIEGO, Oct. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dot VN, Inc., a Delaware corporation ('Dot VN' or the 'Company') (www.dotvn.com), (Pink Sheets: DTVI), an Internet and Telecommunications Company and the exclusive online global domain name registrar for the Country of Vietnam, announced that it has completed review and analysis of the report regarding the results of a 30-day field test of the E-Link 1000 millimeter wave communication systems (the 'E-Link') from E-Band Communications Corp ('E-Band'). The field test was conducted in Hanoi, Vietnam between June and July of 2008, the monsoon season in Vietnam, by Dot VN and its technology partners in the project, E-Band Communications Corporation, Vietnam Data Communications Corporation ('VDC') and the Vietnam Internet Network Information Center ('VNNIC').
The report, produced by VDC, the largest Internet service provider in Vietnam, found that the E-Link is an excellent method of creating Gigabit Ethernet ('GigE') connectivity over a distance of several kilometers. Based on the results of the initial tests, Dot VN is optimistic about the possible applications of the E-Link in Vietnam including, but not limited to: (i) backhaul of 4G, WiMax, WiFi and mobile networks; (ii) metropolitan wireless fiber rings; (iii) video conferencing and surveillance; and (iv) IP Television and VOIP services.
Although additional testing is required in both urban and rural environments, initial results are promising and the Company believes that the E-Link can serve as an integral component in the continued development and evolution of the data and telecommunications infrastructures in Vietnam. The Company anticipates that the E-Link can offer a cost-effective and reliable means of providing GigE connectivity thereby significantly reducing the problem of increasing bandwidth demand by the estimated 20 million internet users in Vietnam.
Currently, Dot VN, the exclusive distributor of the E-Link in Vietnam, is working with its partners to conduct additional tests and demonstration of the capabilities of Millimeter Wave Wireless Technology in Vietnam and expects several such demonstrations to be conducted in the near term.
'The positive results from the extensive field tests of the E-Link 1000 systems in Hanoi is very exciting news for Dot VN and its technology partners who participated in this trial. Working closely with VDC, VNNIC and E-Band, the Company was able to secure a test license from the Ministry of Information and Communications ('MIC') to test and import the advanced radio equipment into Vietnam within a relatively short period of time. This is a historic achievement for the Company and its partners.
