MediaG3 to Bring Broadband Wireless to Rural China
By Anil Sharma, TMCnet Contributor
MediaG3, Inc. reportedly has entered a partnership with Yung Nan Provincial Cable Network Company for a pilot project in China to provide broadband wireless backhaul services.
Santa Clara, California-based MediaG3 develops and markets broadband wireless technology products and online applications that empower interactive content delivery to today’s fixed and mobile consumers.

Yung Nan Cable Network Company’s participation in the project is seen as a step toward commercialization for MediaG3’s wireless broadband applications in China’s multi-billion dollar rural coverage market space.
Yung Nan Provincial Cable Network Company owns 113 local cable TV networks and the Yung Nan Province is 8th largest region in China with over 44 million people. Covering just 10 percent of that population could generate more than $80 million in revenue.
“Yung Nan Provincial Cable Network will expedite our transition from trial phase to commercialization,” said Gordon Guo, MediaG3’s general manager for China market.
Guo said that the Yung Nan Province is a rural area that needs broadband wireless solutions.
“Partnership with local established cable networks is our strategy to efficiently transform our China business development into financial success,” said Joseph Anzalone, Senior VP of operations of MediaG3.
TMCnet in August reported that MediaG3 has entered into an agreement with Academy of Broadcasting Science (News - Alert) , a division of State Administration for Radio Film and Television, for a pilot project.
Under the agreement, mg3 wireless broadband applications will be implemented to service the interior and rural regions of China, according to the companies.
According to company sources, there are about 900 million Chinese in the interior and rural areas, who are underserved or don’t have access to Internet or digital TV programs. The company says its pilot project will successfully demonstrate MediaG3’s ability to commercialize a “Rural Coverage” nationwide.
