TheEdgeDaily's Gan Yen Kuan reports that India's Allied Digital has licensed a proprietary high-speed wireless broadband solution from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission.

The company asserts that the Advanced Information Delivery and Access Solution (AIDAAS) will become the "world's leading information and communications technology application," outperforming WiMAX.

Initial trials of the solutions are planned for next month, with a single omni antenna covering a 50-kilometer radius.

"Allied Digital said AIDAAS, more effectively termed as terrestrial transponder technology (3T), was the combination of digital video broadcast satellite (DVB-S) and digital video broadcast terrestrial (DVB-T)," the article states.

In July, the company plans to enter the second phase of the trial, reaching a radius of 60 kilometers and offering a per-user capacity of 10 Mbps.

That all sounds great -- but the idea of a proprietary solution knocking out WiMAX seems, well, a wee bit optimistic...
