Ceragon Wireless Backhaul Selected by North American Carrier

Ceragon Networks has announced that an unnamed North American wireless communications carrier, has selected its wireless Ethernet solutions to provide long-haul transport for high-speed data and voice services. This deployment will support the carrier's geographical expansion and network capacity enhancement.

Initial orders are valued at over US$6 million, of which US$5 million has been recorded as revenue.

Ceragon says that it was selected due to its ability to deliver an IP-based solution that supports multiple radio configurations. With superior system gain, Ceragon can provide its new customer the ability to extend its network reach while using smaller antennas. This particular feature alone helps achieve significant cost savings without compromising the quality of the service.

"This is an important strategic win for Ceragon as it delivers our most advanced platform into a new and prestigious customer" said Ira Palti, President and CEO of Ceragon. "The decision to choose our solutions for its high-speed, long haul IP network is a ringing endorsement of our technology and strategy."
