Intracom Telecom's and Furukawa's common customer centric
philosophy and successful long history in their fields, as well as
their shared vision to build future-proof networks, reduce TCO and
design dedicated revenue-generating solutions in the areas of IoT
and 5G are some of the key principles that govern this
partnership.
More specifically, this strategic partnership focuses on the
development of Fiber-Wireless integrated solutions with Furukawa
Electric providing the GPON, WDM, and cabling solutions, and
Intracom Telecom deploying its Wireless Transport & Access
solutions, offering to operators a larger tool-box of solutions to
homogeneously address fixed and mobile transport network with
multi-gigabit transport options. Intracom Telecom's unmatched
R&D capabilities will support the need for any customization or
even the design of new software solutions. Both Groups aim to

Mr. Foad Shaikhzadeh, President
& CEO of Furukawa Electric LatAm
S.A., commented: "Furukawa is
very pleased to announce this partnership with
Intracom Telecom. Our aim is to better attend our
customers, who will have the best solution
in One-Stop-Shop. Applications such as IOT, Smart
Cities, Industry 4.0, fronthaul and backhaul for 5G, and video
streaming, increasingly demand more complex hybrid fiber-radio
networks. So we can offer the sum of the virtuosity of each
network, either the ultra-broadband of the optical
fiber, or the fast deployment and less invasive infrastructure
provided by the radio solution."
Mr. Mohamed Ahmed,
President & CEO of Intracom
Telecom, stated: "We are
truly honoured to partner with Furukawa Electric.
By joining our forces we aim to transform
the global market enabling life improving
services towards the realization of the digital citizen concept. We
are looking forward to leveraging our four decades of
accumulated experience and our international successful track
record in the ICT field in order to develop
technological solutions that will shape the future of smart
cities. The combination of our innovative
technologies and our R&D capabilities,
with Furukawa's FTTx solutions and diversified
business, creates a unique offering for all operators preparing for
5G network deployments and plenty of
opportunities for businesses in the
non-telco area."
