Telekom Serbia Expands Its Broadband Network Using Alvarion Equipment
Telekom Serbia Expands Its Broadband Network Using Alvarion Equipment Carrier Places Follow-on Order of $2.3M for Additional eMGW(TM) Voice And Data Solutions
Alvarion Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALVR), the global leader in wireless broadband solutions and supplier of specialized mobile systems, today announced that Telekom Serbia A.D., Serbia's incumbent operator, has placed an order of $2.3m for its advanced eMGW(TM) solutions to expand its network of broadband voice and data services in the rural areas of the Raska Region. Equipment installation has already begun and completion is expected by June 2005.
This is the second order to be received by Alvarion under a previously announced frame agreement. Telekom Serbia is using Alvarion's field-proven solutions to establish and upgrade its telecommunications infrastructure in suburban and rural areas of the country.
Local partners involved in the project include the Ei COMgroup KONSING, responsible for the design and engineering, and Alvarion's regional distributor, TeleGroup d.o.o., responsible for expediting equipment importation and installing customer premises equipment (CPEs).
"We were very pleased with the quality of the products and services received from the earlier installations of Alvarion broadband wireless systems, and so are eager to expand the network to begin enabling phone lines to thousands of additional residents in the rural areas of Serbia," said Drasko Petrovic, Director General of Telekom Serbia. "The eMGW product is very suited for our needs in that it provides both broadband data and toll-quality voice, and allows us to invest incrementally, paying for the network as it grows."
The eMGW solution, operating on 3.5 GHz, will provide voice and fast Internet services for homes and small businesses in a number of Serbia's southern regions. The eMGW system is a cost-effective infrastructure solution for building new networks especially in this mountainous region with low-density population and rough terrain. The fast and easy installation of the system enables the operator to quickly provide services in underserved areas.
"Our experience working with Alvarion's products has been very positive," said Zdenko Lekan, General Manager of Ei COMgroup Konsing. "Despite the very difficult conditions in rural Serbia of mountainous terrain and cold weather, installation has been very smooth and relatively easy."
"Alvarion is proud to be part of bringing next generations telecommunications services and infrastructure to Serbia. Our eMGW solution fits the business model of incumbent carriers who require low initial investment and a system they can roll out quickly and cost-effectively to fill gaps in their network coverage," said Zvi Slonimsky, CEO of Alvarion. "Our success in Serbia is also a direct result of our excellent, local partner relationships, which we look forward to maintaining and strengthening in the future."
