, Ceragon's recently launched, new generation of
multi-core, packet radio solutions. PEG Bandwidth, a leading provider of customized cell
site backhaul networks for wireless carriers, selected Ceragon's FibeAir IP-20C to
complement their extensive, 12-state fiber network because of its ability to deliver
unmatched capacity throughout the backhaul network at a low total cost of ownership (TCO).
The deployment will include dozens of FibeAir IP-20C links throughout the United States.
"The capacity needs of the U.S. marketplace are changing as 4G/LTE usage increases,"
said Christopher Pickard, Chief Technology Officer of PEG Bandwidth. "Ceragon's FibeAir
IP-20C enables us to offer our customers a broad network of seamlessly integrated, high
capacity backhaul solutions which can suit the growing needs of our carrier customers, and
help us to retain our competitive edge."
"Receiving these first orders for FibeAir IP-20C just weeks after its launch is
testament to the game-changing nature of the product," said Ira Palti, President and CEO
of Ceragon Networks. "In addition, having the orders come from a company as successful and
focused on innovation as PEG Bandwidth speaks even further to how the FibeAir IP-20C can
transform the backhaul and fronthaul process. We believe that the FibeAir IP-20C, together
with our upcoming range of next-generation solutions will enable us to extend our market
share and assert our clear technological advantage over our competitors."
"We are delighted that PEG is Ceragon's first customer to deploy our new FibeAir
IP-20C and are confident that this is a good indicator of the excellent fit that this
product will have in the North American market," said Charles (Chuck) Meyo, President of
Ceragon North America.
