Guamcell Upgrades Backhaul Network

Guam based mobile operator, Guamcell has awarded a cellular backhaul contract to Exalt Communications. Guamcell, which operates a CDMA network on the island of Guam, launched a GSM overlay across the island in late 2007. The GSM service includes a GPRS core network, and is planning to deploy 3G.

As part of its upgrade strategy, Guamcell added Exalt's wireless backhaul solutions based on its EX-i Series of products, which simultaneously support both native TDM and native IP.

"The selection of our microwave backhaul solutions by a leading operator with such challenging environmental conditions as Guamcell demonstrates the growing market acceptance of our broad product portfolio," said Amir Zoufonoun, President and Chief Executive Officer of Exalt. "Guamcell joins a growing list of Exalt customers deploying advanced wireless backhaul solutions that lead the market in reliability, capacity and field upgradeability."

The financial details of the contract were not disclosed.
