Ceragon Networks announced that Telefónica has selected Ceragon as one of its global microwave backhaul vendors.
The Telefónica Group, a global Tier-1 telecommunications company and one of the world’s leading integrated operators, offers communication, information and entertainment solutions in 25 countries, servicing more than 295 million subscribers.
Telefónica is initially expected to order systems from Ceragon for Chile, Panama and Venezuela, where the Group services approximately 25 million subscribers.
The Ceragon solutions selected by Telefónica are based on the field-proven, carrier-grade FibeAir IP-10 family – an unrivaled wireless transport solution optimized for all-IP mobile internet and broadband services. FibeAir IP-10 is a leading wireless microwave solution that integrates advanced networking functionality with innovative high-capacity radio technology, enabling up to 1Gbps per channel.
The solution enables simplified network provisioning and monitoring while reducing the operator’s total cost of ownership (TCO), thereby enabling it to meet today’s stringent service level agreements (SLAs).
