Ceragon Networks (News - Alert), a provider of high-capacity wireless backhaul solutions, today announced that it has landed a $5 million follow-on equipment order from a mobile operator in Mexico.

 

The operator will use Ceragon’s equipment as part of a large-scale infrastructure expansion that includes capacity upgrades for an existing 2.5G network, as well as preparation to support advanced 3G services, according to the company. Ceragon’s FibeAir solutions will help deliver high capacity mobile backhauling in a 2xSTM-1 configuration, company officials say.

 

Ceragon Networks officials say that the advanced microwave systems are capable of operating in the 6 to 38 GHz frequency bands. Ceragon solutions offer flexibility and reliability by using single or dual independent, hot-swappable carriers with a cross-polar interference canceller mechanism, company officials say.

 

Ira Palti, president and chief executive officer of Ceragon, said that the company seeks to strengthen relations with business partners in all regions of the world. She added that this selection by a leading operator in a significant mobile market is another vote of confidence in their technological innovation, high quality service and customer-focused support.

 

Mexico is a fast-growing mobile communications market, according to Ceragon sources who cite a report from BuddeComm. The report says that Mexico’s mobile industry is growing at a yearly rate of around 22 percent, driven by a booming GSM market.

 

The new contract is a recent addition to an ongoing relationship between Ceragon and its Mexican customer since the year 2000.

 

Ceragon Networks is a provider of high-capacity wireless backhaul solutions that enable wireless service providers to deliver voice and premium data services, such as Internet browsing, music and video applications. The company’s FibeAir IP-10 solution recently earned certification from the Metro Ethernet Forum (News - Alert).

 

Commenting on the certification, Palti said that Ceragon has again proven its commitment to maintain its position as a leading wireless Ethernet backhaul solutions provider.
