Under a Master Purchase Agreement, Nextlink Wireless will purchase DragonWave's (News - Alert) AirPair and Horizon Compact products providing highly scalable, carrier grade radio solutions in support of Nextlink's portfolio of broadband wireless services.

 

Using DragonWave's Horizon and AirPair products, Nextlink will offer backhaul solutions that enable wireless service providers to more cost-effectively support next generation mobile applications, content and data across their networks as an alternative to conventional wireline networks.

 

Bob Beran (News - Alert), president of Nextlink said in a statement that convergence places new demands on their customers to find alternative sources of local network access and backhaul to support higher bandwidth, next generation services over their networks.

 

Beran observed that the DragonWave Ethernet radios add to their portfolio of broadband wireless service offerings and provide their customers with another option to cost-effectively transform their networks.

 

According to Peter Allen (News - Alert), president and chief executive officer of DragonWave, the need for scalable, easy to deploy and cost-effective wireless links optimized for high capacity networking is gathering momentum. He expressed his company’s delight for being selected by Nextlink and said that DragonWave look forwards to continuing to work closely with Nextlink to address their customers' evolving needs for broadband services.

 

Because DragonWave's Horizon and AirPair products operate within both licensed and unlicensed radio frequencies in the 6-to-38-GHz range, they ensure interference-free performance for customers' traffic.
