Emaxx Telecom Selects PureWave as Infrastructure Partner; Introduces 4G NetworkSep 06, 2011 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- PureWave Networks, Inc. announced that it has been selected by Emaxx Telecom (Cambodia) Limited as the operator's 4G infrastructure vendor. Emaxx Telecom said it expects to expand its mobile WiMAX network, already commercially operating in the cities of Phnom Penh and Sean Reap under the EmaxxTM brand, to cover 7 cities by year end and to attract 150,000 customers over the same period. A total of 25 Cities will be deployed by the end of 2012. "We are delighted with our choice of PureWave as our 4G network infrastructure partner," said Frank May, Chairman of Emaxx Telecom Network Group. "We selected PureWave after extensive tests and after the performance of a pilot network using PureWave Quantum 6600 Base Stations surpassed our expectations. In addition to network reliability and performance, the economics of network deployment were our prime consideration in selecting PureWave as our partner. The ability to deploy high-performing base stations in an all-outdoor configuration is a winning combination that is greatly reducing our network deployment costs. This, combined with PureWave's exciting LTE roadmap, made them the ideal infrastructure partner for our network. Emaxx Telecom will continue to select and use the most flexible wireless technologies to help modernize Cambodia's and Asia's telecom services." According to a release, Emaxx Telecom is deploying PureWave's Quantum 6600 Base Stations and is planning to expand its network by a further 75 base stations by the end of the year. While designed to compete with top of the line macro base stations, PureWave Quantum 6600 Base Stations are built for all outdoor deployment. The base stations utilize advanced smart antenna technology to deliver the range and capacity of other macro base stations, but at a fraction of the cost and with no need for expensive and complex climate controlled shelters. "We are very pleased to have been selected by Emaxx Telecom (Cambodia) as their 4G infrastructure partner, and will continue to support Emaxx Telecom in their successful network roll-outs," said Peter Carson, Senior Vice-President of International Sales at PureWave. "With Emaxx added to our rapidly growing roster of customers around the world, PureWave is fast gaining market share and presence in the 4G space. We take this as a testament to the economic value we are helping our customers to create and to our innovative lineup of current and future products." Emaxx, as a telecom operator, will offer the new generation wireless telecom services to local WISP, ISPs, a range of virtual service providers, as well as directly to corporate, education, and government groups. Besides WiMAX services, Emaxx Telecom will be providing a full range of Internet, data, and fixed voice services for Cambodia customers with a range of Wireless, Fibre, and Satellite services. PureWave, a Silicon Valley Company, is a supplier of high-performance compact 4G wireless base stations. More Information: www.pwnets.com ((Comments on this story may be sent to [email protected])) |
