Solectek WiMAX Product Line Awarded USDA Acceptance and "Buy American" Status

SkyWay MAX qualifies for the USDA RUS BIP and BTOP federal stimulus funding programs for rural broadband

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) July 16, 2009 -- Solectek Corporation, a leading provider of broadband wireless connectivity products, today announced that its WiMAX product line has received USDA acceptance and Buy American status from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Utility Services (RUS).

"The USDA listing for SkyWay MAX is especially meaningful because Solectek is one of a few vendors that design and manufacture products in the US, directly supporting the US economy," says Dr. Eric Lee, CEO of Solectek. "Solectek is now well positioned to serve rural broadband operators with their wireless needs, from last-mile to backhaul."

Wireless technologies are widely regarded as the only practical means to extend broadband services quickly at reasonable infrastructure costs

Solectek welcomes the opportunity to work with any operators that are planning on submitting applications for BTOP, BIP and RUS funding programs.

Recently, the US government has clarified further initiatives beyond the original USDA RUS programs. Solectek's WiMAX and other broadband wireless products are well suited for the newly open federal stimulus packages -- Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) administered by National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and Broadband Initiatives Program (BIP) administered by the US Department of Agriculture.

"Wireless technologies are widely regarded as the only practical means to extend broadband services quickly at reasonable infrastructure costs," says Dr. Lee, "Solectek welcomes the opportunity to work with any operators that are planning on submitting applications for BTOP, BIP and RUS funding programs."
