Alvarion to expand Bharti's WiMax
18-06-2008
Alvarion has announced that India's Bharti Airtel has signed a contract to expand its WiMax network for business users across key cities in India. Alvarion says that its BreezeMAX platform has been adapted to the special needs of India. The network will also include Alvarion's BreezeACCESS.
In 2006, Alvarion deployed Airtel's first WiMax network across major cities for service enterprise customers. Based on their experience, Alvarion was awarded this expansion order. Airtel plans to provide more enterprise customers with the technology, while offering last mile connectivity for MPLS/VPN/Internet leased lines and other data services.
Don Price, Director Technology of Bharti Airtel said "Our deployment with Alvarion, the largest WiMax pure-play vendor, offers our customers advanced services at competitive prices. These products are specifically adapted to the technical requirements in India and offer extended coverage for leveraging the opportunities that the fast growing Indian market offers".
"This strategic agreement with Airtel reinforces our commitment to the key players in India" said Avinoam Barak, President of Broadband Wireless Access division of Alvarion.
