Tata Teleservices Expands Wireless Backhaul Network

Ceragon Networks has received new backhaul hardware orders from India's Tata Teleservices. Tata has already deployed Ceragon's backhaul equipment in three circles following a long-term supply agreement the companies signed in mid-2008. This agreement is now extended, bringing the number of circles to be served by Ceragon equipment to a total of 10, including the Delhi metro area.

Ceragon will provide Tata with the FibeAir 1500R wireless SDH solutions and its FibeAir IP-10 that supports native TDM, Native2 (hybrid TDM/Ethernet) and native Ethernet over a single platform.

"Tata Teleservices is rapidly moving and gearing towards the launch of GSM services and is also enhancing capabilities on its CDMA network. To match the scale, we selected Ceragon as our technology partners. We found that Ceragon's systems offer a variety of benefits including advanced IP capabilities and a nodal solution with integrated cross-connect. These features fit our network expansion strategy perfectly and will also serve to support our network evolution towards 3G," said Mr. A. G. Rao, President & Chief Technology Officer, Tata Teleservices Limited.
