New Delhi: Ceragon Networks bagged projects worth over $43 million from a leading Indian and two other Asia Pacific telecom operators for the wireless backhaul solution provider’s IP-20 platform to accelerate 4G services availability.

“Having all three operators choose Ceragon for their individual 4G network expansion and upgrade illustrates the immense benefits our IP-20 platform provides for solving a wide variety of wireless backhaul needs,” Ira Palti, president and CEO of Ceragon, said in a statement.

Ceragon said that these telcos want to quickly and efficiently upgrade and expand their networks to 4G/LTE. To provide the most extensive suite of 4G services to their subscribers, these telcos require a wireless backhaul solution that will allow for simple and quick network upgrade, with no service interruption, and rapid network expansion for support of mobile, enterprise and residential subscribers, as well as school districts for bridging the digital divide.

The IP-20 platform supports business objectives such as accelerating transformation to digital services, increasing operational efficiency and enhancing customer experience, the company said.

With the IP-20 platform, Ceragon’s customers can upgrade their existing wireless backhaul links with new radio technologies, without replacing radios nor antennas on towers and rooftops, such as ultra-high 4G backhaul capacity using the highest modulations. The deployment will enable capacity boosting and IP traffic management techniques, better spectrum utilization and management, and state of the art quality of service enforcement & management.

The capability to perform a simple upgrade proves to be a major contribution to meeting the operators’ business objectives.

With network expansions required in all three operators’ regions, Ceragon provides the IP-20 platform’s unique wireless backhaul 4×4 MIMO technology for quadrupling capacity over a single narrowband channel over long distances, avoiding the need to opt for wideband short range spectrum.

Moreover, in order to meet stringent network availability requirements, Ceragon offers an extensive suite of equipment redundancy capabilities, unique to the IP-20 platform, in order to ensure consistent and reliable network performance.
