Mobile Networks: Italtel and Linkra Sign an Agreement to Provide Full IP MW Next Generation Systems
SAN PAULO, September 12, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
Italtel, a leader in next generation networks and services, and Linkra
Networks, a wireless backhaul specialist, announce a partnership designed to
jointly provide Mobile Network Operators, Converged Service Providers,
Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISP), Utilities and Large Enterprises
with full IP Microwave Next Generation systems.
The two partners will focus their joint activities on EMEA and Latin
America markets, in particular Brazil and Argentina. In the latter markets
that are recording frantic growth rates and where competition is tough, the
ability to own and control the network is crucial to the success of any
Mobile and Fixed Operator or for ISP looking to profitably face the booming
traffic demand of differentiated services and manage network costs. As
service providers broaden their coverage and cope with the demand for data
rate growth forcing to deploy higher capacity distribution and access
wireless networks - such as 3G/LTE, WiMAX and Wi-Fi - the wireless
backhauling infrastructure must also be upgraded to IP and broadened to
prevent infrastructure bottlenecks.
The partnership leverages Linkra Networks proven experience in the full
IP Microwave for mobile backhauling and the expertise that Italtel has
acquired in next generation network architecture both in EMEA and Latin
America as well as valuable expertise in system integration, voice over IP
and wired & wireless technology.
Linkra Networks Full Ethernet Microwave Portfolio is part of proven
microwave-optics-routers integration for Backhauling solutions. It can be
integrated in different networks: from Enterprise ones to Next Generation
and Mobile Networks.
"The agreement with Linkra has a twofold relevance for Italtel: it is an
important step of our plan to develop into specific foreign markets,
particularly LatAm, and allows us to reinforce our offer in the mobile
segment," commented Camillo Ascione, Head of Cisco-OEM Products & Solutions
Product Unit at Italtel. "We are actually working to extend our portfolio of
mobile solutions also by developing proprietary products within Cisco Mobile
Packet Core Solutions. We believe this will be crucial to maintain the
growth trend we experienced in LatAm in recent years by deploying network
infrastructure solutions for several of the most important fixed and mobile
operators".
"The relationship with Italtel is part of our strategy to become a
leader in Full IP Microwave solutions and speed up Linkra access in LatAm
countries completing its own worldwide sales presence" commented Tiziano
Beretta, Head of IP&Transport Business Unit at Linkra. "Linkra full IP
Microwave portfolio, interworking with Carrier Ethernet router/switch
devices, will benefit of Italtel IT System Integration knowledge
complementing our proven capability on Backhauling Microwave based
solutions".
Linkra attends Futurecom, San Paulo, from 12 to 14 September 2011. At
booth C54 it is possible to get more info on Linkra and Italtel IP Microwave
solutions.
