ATHENS, Greece, July 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Intracom Telecom, a
global telecommunication systems and solutions vendor, announced
today the award by Open Fiber, one of the largest fiber network
providers in Italy, to supply its
Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) solutions for the Rural Ultra-Broadband
project of the "digitally underserved" areas of the country.
The ambitious plan of Open Fiber foresees to deliver Ultra
Broadband services in about 20 million households in each of the 20
Italian Regions. In remote and rural areas or areas with scattered
houses, FWA (Fixed Wireless Access) technology, with which
Intracom Telecom won the tender, will be intensively used. This
high quality broadband infrastructure is crucial in Italy's economy and society. Citizens will
benefit by having unrestricted access to the best performing
networks that will be equipped with the best technology, the WiBAS™
solution of Intracom Telecom.
The FWA technology is the only one which allows for quick
deployment at places with minimum telecommunication infrastructure,
and Intracom Telecom's WiBAS™ 26 / 28 GHz platform is the only one
that can offer Ultra-Broadband capacities. The platform is designed
to provide service at speeds comparable to those of optical fiber,
and at a fraction of the time needed to deploy them. Intracom
Telecom's FWA platform is featuring advanced algorithms to
dynamically share available resources, maximizing the number of
concurrently served subscribers, and automations to assist and
accelerate the installation of the terminals, and the service
provisioning. With a very high reliability and lightweight design
the components of the WiBAS™ platform are easy to deploy and
maintain at difficult areas.
Mr. Mohamed Ahmed, CEO of
Intracom Telecom, stated: "We are very excited
to support Open Fiber's ambitious plan to provide to Italian
citizens high-speed broadband connections as 25% of the population
still resides in rural areas. Our goal is to enable operators to
contribute further to the economic and social development of the
country, the third largest economy in EU, and with the usage of
state-of-the-art technology to improve citizens' quality of life.
Our technology, offers fiber-like service and
has become the benchmark in the ultra-wide band sector,
thus I am confident that our collaboration with Open Fiber
will be exceptional and we will contribute the maximum towards
helping them realize their vision and business goals."
Intracom Telecom has been supplying and supporting networks in
Italy since 2014, specializing in
the field of Ultra-Broadband Internet connectivity to rural
residential subscribers, and this new project comes as the
evolution of its capabilities to deliver such solutions in a large
scale. The WiBAS™ is in operation worldwide, and in Italy specifically serving already more than
