In addition to the Qinghai-Tibet Railway project, Comba is also supplying repeater solutions integrated with solar power support systems that can enhance mobile communication access on key highways linking Lhasa and the Zhufeng Station on Mount Everest and for the highways linking Zhufeng Station to Base Camp No.1 and No. 2. The Group has finished construction work at 12 service spots along the highways.

Comba’s Chairman and President, Mr. Tony TL Fok, said, “We are pleased that our products are helping to provide telecom access to more remote areas in the country, and are especially proud that we are enabling wireless communication coverage along the world’s longest railway running on the highest altitude. This is a new milestone for us and evidenced our determination and dedication to contribute to the infrastructure of China. Thanks to the ability of Comba’s staff to overcome tough atmospheric and climatic conditions on the project sites, ensuring telecommunication availability for the inauguration of the Qinghai-Tibet railway on 1 July 2006.
