In recent weeks, LCC International ( News - Alert) has received $11M in contracts for WiMAX and EV-DO advanced network services from large North American wireless operators. The company sees increased momentum in Fixed Network Engineering (FNE) and advanced consulting services.
LCC will deliver WiMAX services and solutions that include technology evaluations, in-lab testing, as well as design and continuous wave (CW) testing. The company boasts a deep understanding of the broadband technology, extensive knowledge of multi-vendor and multi protocol environments, in-depth business analysis capabilities and network trial and field experience.
“We are seeing considerable traction in the areas where we made significant investments at the end of 2006 and early 2007. In addition, we are leveraging our recent acquisitions to create real value as we broaden our key services to support 3G and 4G technologies,” said Dean Douglas, LCC President and CEO in a statement.
“LCC continues to demonstrate its market leadership by providing offerings that address the requirements of large carriers as they migrate to new technologies,” he added.
Additionally, the company will also provide its technical and engineering expertise to deliver EV-DO Optimization services. There is continued evolution of broadband networks throughout the United States, and the company is seeing an increase in demand for their vast portfolio of advanced services in the market areas that they have identified as high growth. Douglas believes this is in keeping with the strategy they put in place in 2006.
In addition to broadband networks, there is an increase in demand for Fixed Network Engineering and Spectrum Management Services. Backhaul is fast becoming a priority as operators work to maximize their network performance to meet customer requirements and data utilization. Douglas points out that traffic management has become critical to operators as they focus on delivering high-speed data services while managing operating expenses.
Their FNE services offering addresses these market requirements with an innovative approach borne of real experience with fixed networks and backhaul services across the globe. Their Spectrum Management Services is another area of increasing activity. Douglas further explains that with the recent FCC ( News - Alert) decision concerning the 700 MHz auction, LCC will play a key role in supporting investors and customers to create ROI models and technical evaluations to maximize the potential that this spectrum has to offer.
LCC has recently acquired WFI’s domestic RF engineering business, and is now the largest engineering services provider for wireless networks.
