Wimax EU Ltd. is rolling out a pan-European Wireless ISP and hotspot network. The purpose of this network will be to provide wireless broadband access to government, business & private users. Our network will consist of a combination of WiFi and Wimax making it futureproof while at the same time availing of the millions of WiFi client devices already in use. We are rolling our WISP networks in rural areas as well as urban areas and intend to install an extensive network of wireless hotspots in areas with a high visitor footfall. 
We will also be building large “hotzones” that will cover city centers and similar areas. Another area of interest for us is so-called “municipal networks”.
