Proxim Wireless Wins Equipment Bid From Russia's Wireless Provider, MegaFon
11 Outubro 2011 - 11:00AM
Marketwired
Proxim Wireless Corporation (PINKSHEETS: PRXM), a leading provider
of high performance outdoor wireless broadband systems, has been
selected as the equipment manufacturer by MegaFon. MegaFon is one
of Russia's three largest mobile service providers and the only
operator in Russia that operates its own network and provides a
range of services throughout the country.
Proxim has won several large equipment bids with MegaFon
beginning in 2008 when its WiMAX equipment was installed throughout
the Volga (Povolzhie) area, one of the country's 12 economic
regions. Povolzhie is a historical region in Russia that
encompasses the territories adjacent to the flow of the Volga
River. The most recent award includes the installation of the
Tsunami™ MP-8160 CPE, a 100Mbps capacity customer premises
equipment that operates in the 5.900 - 6.425 GHz frequencies, and
the Tsunami™ MP-8160 point-to-multipoint base station system.
The new system will be installed in a number of MegaFon's
operating regions, including the Moscow and St. Petersburg regions
of Russia. According to the 2010 government census, Moscow, with a
population of 11,514,000 people, is the sixth largest city proper
in the world and the most populous city on the continent of Europe
while St. Petersburg is the second largest city in Russia with a
population of 4,848,700.
The project will be implemented in Russia by Proxim Wireless in
partnership with RK-TELECOM -- one of the largest system
integrators in Russia. RK-TELECOM will not only supply the
equipment, but also provide assembly, installation, and
commissioning services and will take care of providing service
maintenance, including warranty support.
"MegaFon is one of the leading WiMAX operators for B2B and is
very particular with its choice of equipment providers. Our
stringent technical standards narrowed the manufacturer base down
to only a few select vendors whose equipment needed to pass our
testing requirements which can take up to a year," said Valery
Ermakov, First Deputy General Director for Operations, and Chief
Operating Officer at MegaFon. "Proxim's equipment has consistently
outperformed other manufacturers, and we are pleased to utilize
them once again as our vendor in our regions."
"Our equipment has been proven to surpass service provider class
standards in both sparsely populated areas, such as Povolzhie, and
in larger populated cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg," said
Mike Foster, Senior Vice President of Global Sales of Proxim
Wireless. "Winning our third tender bid with MegaFon is another
positive milestone in the Russian market for Proxim."
