The Amsterdam WiMAX network and services launched successfully in February 2009 resulting from a close cooperation with INTEL and Alcatel – Lucent. Company was able to deliver stable high bandwidth wireless services, beating any wireless network alternative in the market on price/ performance & service basis.

A settlement deal was negotiated with the Dutch Government. After which INTEL Capital and Greenfield Capital Partners decided to exit the company.
