Although ArrayComm was able to license its technology to Chinese and Japanese operators that deploy a more compatible mobile-phone system, Western operators have declined. So ArrayComm is selling to wireless Internet providers like Sydney's Personal Broadband Australia (in which ArrayComm is a partial owner) that are in various stages of covering cities like Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane...
