Enforta Deploys Ubiquiti's airMAX Technology to 150 Russian Cities, Bringing Broadband to Russia's Remote Regions
SAN JOSE, CA, Jan 29, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Ubiquiti Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: UBNT), a next-generation
communications technology company, today announced that Enforta, the
largest fixed wireless broadband operator in Russia, is leveraging
Ubiquiti's airMAX product platform to expand its networking
infrastructure. Two-thirds of the largest 200 companies in Russia use
Enforta in some capacity, and the company's service footprint
includes over 200 cities with an aggregate population of 70 million
people.
More than 7,000 airMAX devices are now deployed on Enforta's fixed
wireless network. The company is averaging 1,500 new installations
per month with 20% year-over-year revenue growth and Enforta's plans
include a near-term expansion of airMAX to another 150 secondary
cities. Using airMAX, Enforta is able to support networks in Russia's
harsh weather conditions in areas like Siberia, as well as rely on
the quality and affordability of Ubiquiti products for cost-effective
market expansion to underdeveloped territories throughout the
country.
Russia's fast growing economy ranks it seventh in the world for
number of Internet users, but Internet penetration remains low: in
many regional capital cities less than 5% of the population has Web
access. The country's legacy networking infrastructure and vast area
covering 9 time zones required a nontraditional strategy, and
wireless networking offered the best solution for quick and easy
deployment across the country.
In addition to standard deployments, Enforta has conducted multiple
pilot programs of Ubiquiti products in metropolitan, rural, and
industrial areas, including work with Russia's Ministry of Education
to provide Internet connectivity to more than 700 schools and home
sites.
"Ubiquiti is the ideal networking solution for an emerging economy
like Russia's," said Lee Sparkman, president and co-founder at
Enforta. "The Internet has been revolutionary in transforming the
economy here, and the superior scalability and performance of
Ubiquiti's airMAX technology has given us a tremendous advantage."
"We're proud to support Enforta's efforts to expand affordable
Internet access across Russia," said Robert J. Pera, CEO at Ubiquiti
Networks. "Ubiquiti's disruptive carrier and enterprise technologies
are opening up new markets for Internet services where it wasn't
possible before."
