Alaska Wireless Orders Rural Coverage Platform

USA based Alaska Wireless has selected Tecore NetworksÃ's Rural Village System (RVS) as the exclusive infrastructure solution for the build-out of the remote regions of Alaska. Tecore says that the operator found that most vendors of rural cellular infrastructure could only provide parts of the network, whereas Tecore has been delivering turnkey mobile networks including core platform and radio access network for over a decade.

Alaska Wireless was further convinced by innovative features such as the patent-pending Over The Air Prepaid Roaming, allowing operators to generate revenue from out-of-network subscribers without roaming agreements.

"For Alaska Wireless, extending our service footprint to remote and isolated areas while maintaining coverage and service levels is a key factor in the growth of our network," said Mark Horne, President of Alaska Wireless. "Tecore Networks provided us with a robust end-to-end product set along with comprehensive services and support. Their primary competition proved to have inferior reliability and nowhere near the level of features and support."
