SAN DIEGO, May 17, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dot VN, Inc. (www.DotVN.com) (OTCBB:DTVI), an innovative Internet and telecommunications Company and the exclusive online global domain name registrar for the Country of Vietnam, announced today that it has completed its review and analysis of a report documenting the results of the recent field test of E-Band virtual fiber (wireless) technology conducted by KASATI Telecom (www.Kasati.com.vn/en). The large-scale trial carried out in Vietnam's Mekong Delta region was intended to test the performance and functionality of E-Band's E-Link 1000EXR virtual fiber wireless solution in order to determine the product's suitability for the region. The report, produced by KASATI, indicates that E-Band virtual fiber (wireless) technology met all of the testing criteria requirements in the rigorous 60-day field test.
The test, a collaboration between Dot VN, KASATI and Tien Giang Telecommunications, took place in the Tien Giang Province of the Mekong Delta region in southern Vietnam, a relatively rural area of the country where the terrain makes building traditional telecom infrastructure cost prohibitive. The extensive 60-day trial was conducted to assess the capabilities of the virtual fiber to operate over a distance of approximately 2.03 km (1.26 miles), testing its ability to handle various advanced telecommunication applications such as ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) internet service and IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) streaming video broadcasts in a practical, real world setting. Over the course of the 60-day test, the E-Link 1000EXR was used to provide live services to Tien Giang Telecommunications' customers and met expectations.
"The report issued by KASATI detailing E-Band's successful performance in the field test carried out in the Tien Giang Province marks a very significant milestone not only for Dot VN in light of our distribution agreement with the manufacturer of the product, but also for the citizens of Vietnam who will have access to this world-class technology," noted Thomas Johnson, Dot VN's CEO. "The virtual fiber solution's efficacy in the field test coupled with its superior bandwidth and significantly lower cost relative to competing technologies, conclusively demonstrates E-Band's commercial viability and its potential to address the current capacity constraints on Vietnam's network infrastructure. The test results reaffirm our belief that E-Link's numerous applications, such as backhaul of 4G, WiMax, WiFi and 3G mobile networks, disaster recovery services, metropolitan area networks, and homeland security services, have the potential to revolutionize Vietnam's telecommunications infrastructure by providing a best of breed, yet cost effective, easily deployable solution, and as a result, will gain wide acceptance throughout the country. Moreover, the promising findings of the field test have further strengthened our relationship with KASATI who has asked Dot VN to extend the trials so that the wireless technology's other diverse applications can be tested."
