3G Infrastructure Group Selects Backbone Provider

Ceragon Networks has been chosen by Svenska UMTS Nat, a 3G infrastructure joint venture between Swedish mobile operators Telia Mobile and Tele2, to supply its FibeAir high-capacity wireless systems. The companies have signed a multi-year frame agreement under which Ceragon will provide Svenska UMTS Nat with its wireless SDH systems for their nationwide 3G network deployment.

Ceragon's FibeAir product family will be deployed as an STM-1 backbone for Svenska's cellular network infrastructure. FibeAir provides high capacity connectivity between cellular base stations and the core network infrastructure. The modular FibeAir system operates across multiple frequencies from 13 to 38 GHz and supports integrated high-capacity services over IP, SONET/SDH and ATM networks.

"We are very proud to be selected by Svenska UMTS Nat AB," said Shraga Katz, president and CEO, Ceragon Networks Ltd. "This agreement is in line with our strategy to deliver comprehensive high-capacity wireless solutions for cellular operators and to grow our market share in the cellular industry worldwide."
