Alvarion’s (News - Alert) BreezeMAX system was reportedly chosen for a deployment project intended to cover various cities in Russia. The deployment of the new network has already started with CenterTelecom, one of Russia’s seven interregional operators owned by the federal holding company Svyazinvest.

Cedicom is Alvarion’s local partner for this deployment. BreezeMAX will be deployed in the regions of Moscow, Tambov, Tula, and Vladimir. The first phase of this project is planned as part of the Russian Federation’s federal program for connecting hundreds of schools to a WiMAX network. This will provide a large number of users with the advantages of high-quality wireless broadband access services.

Vadim Kondratov, CTO of CenterTelecom said that Alvarion’s BreezeMAX solution allows their company to provide Internet access to schools, successfully meeting the deadlines of the national Education project and dealing with the complicated technological decisions involved.

Kondratov said that the WiMAX network created within the national project presents a basis for expansion of WiMAX (News - Alert) networks in other regions in the future. This enables CenterTelecom to enlarge the number of provided services and offer equal services to all citizens of the Center of Russia, thus raising the quality of life in the Central Federal District of the Russian Federation.

“We are proud to be chosen by one of the largest operators in Russia for providing WiMAX infrastructure and professional services to this important and fast-growing market,” said Rudy Leser, corporate vice president of strategy and marketing for Alvarion in a statement.

“BreezeMAX, a highly-reliable and cost-effective solution, can enable CenterTelecom to connect their customers to WiMAX as quickly and smoothly as possible,” added Leser.
