LocaLoop and Runcom Bring Profitable Turn-Key 4G Platform to Rural Market Cellular Carriers

Two leading internet and communications technology innovators are showcasing their unique solution available now to bring industry standard 4G WiMAX/LTE (News - Alert) Mobile and Wireless Broadband Internet service to underserved rural markets, while empowering carriers to win early market share on their path to TD-LTE.

Appearing together at the CTIA (News - Alert) 2013 Conference, Minnesota-based LocaLoop and Israel-based Runcom Technologies, will demonstrate their easy-to-implement solution at booth #2825 during CTIA at Sands Expo & Convention Center, Las Vegas.

The two companies formed a strategic alliance in 2011 combining LocaLoop's patented cloud-based business platform with Runcom's advanced 4G WiMAX (News - Alert) equipment, staking out a migration path to TD-LTE. LocaLoop provides a 'pay-as-you- grow' network and business management software platform that differs from centralized and costly traditional systems deployed in high-density urban markets. As LocaLoop's (News - Alert) preferred network equipment supplier, Runcom has adapted its leading 4G network hardware to improve the economics in low density markets.

"We deliver a turn-key 4G business slution, including marketing capability specifically designed for low-density markets, providing regional mobile carriers with an opportunity to quickly capture market share ahead of the Big 4 with a profitable platform not available before," explained LocaLoop founder and CEO Carl-Johan Torarp.

"LocaLoop's software and Runcom's hardware complement one another perfectly, delivering a powerful 4G business solution that we could not achieve individually. Together, we set the standard for next-generation, cloud-driven, mobile broadband wireless access networks," said Moshe Levinson, Runcom Technologies CEO.
