Ericsson and Combellga to introduce wireless broadband in Russia
URL(s): www.ericsson.com
Ericsson has been awarded a contract by leading Russian operator
Combellga for a wireless broadband access network. The solution
leverages Ericsson's global leadership in wireless transport networks,
in which it holds a 40 percent market share for microwave-based 'first
mile' systems. This is more than twice as much as its closest
competitor.
The contract includes base station hubs covering the major parts of
Moscow and allows Combellga to cost-efficiently expand their fiber-based
services with Ericsson's wireless access system. Rapid installation
enables the operator to offer services over the expanded network by year-
end.
Ericsson's wireless solution enables Combellga to provide 'fiber-like'
bandwidth on-demand, at user speeds up to 37 Mbps. Here wireless
microwave technology specifically targets network access - which is the
most common 'bottleneck' for users in realizing the benefits of
broadband services. Ericsson's system is specifically optimized to
simultaneously provide bursty IP-based services and quality voice
services.
"Ericsson's MINI-LINK access solution fits our growing ATM network like
a glove," says William Svedberg, COO of Combellga. "This is the most
efficient way we can rapidly increase our presence in the region,
offering broadband datacom services, leased lines and telephony to our
customers, fast and at competitive prices."
"The Combellga expansion is another good example of how our leading
microwave solutions help operators to save both time-to-customer and
network costs," says Eddie Ahman, President of Ericsson in Russia.
Ericsson is shaping the future of Mobile and Broadband Internet
communications through its continuous technology leadership. Providing
innovative solutions in more than 140 countries, Ericsson is helping to
create the most powerful communication companies in the world.
