Neotel Using Alvarion Mobile WiMAX Solution in Macedonia

Macedonia based Neotel has started deploying a nationwide mobile WiMAX network based on infrastructure kit supplied by Alvarion. AlvarionÃ's local partner for this WiMAX project is Neocom.

Neotel plans to launch the network services to the general public by the end of this month and complete deployment of the Macedonian commercial network by December 2009, resulting in full data and voice service delivery. Neotel is the first WISP (Wireless Internet Service Provider) in Macedonia that operates a licensed WiMAX frequency band countrywide.

"As a customer oriented company, we are pleased to offer our subscribers the advantages of Mobile WiMAX and allow them quick and simple access to voice and broadband data," said Trajce Cerepnalkovski CEO of Neotel. "Looking for maximum investment protection we selected AlvarionÃ's technology, knowing that our investment in its high performance equipment will enable continuous and reliable connectivity, answering the growing needs of our customers on both a personal and business level. The residents of Macedonia will be able to choose the best service package tailored to their specific needs."

AlvarionÃ's end-to-end 4Motion solution is the foundation of the companyÃ's OPEN WiMAX ecosystem, which combines BreezeMAX and other systems.
