Airspan Networks and Neptuno Partner for WiMAX Deployment

Posted on: Tuesday, 19 August 2008, 12:00 CDT

Airspan Networks, a provider of WiMAX-based broadband wireless access networks, and Neptuno Networks, a provider of communications services and solutions in Puerto Rico and the Carribbean, have signed an agreement for the delivery of Airspan's WiMAX solutions in the 3.65GHz frequency band.

This first order launches Neptuno's planned island-wide network in Puerto Rico with an initial 100 base station sites. In Puerto Rico, Neptuno is deploying its HiperMAX for high-density macro-base station sites and MicroMAX for low-density sites, fill-in coverage and backhaul.

For the rest of the Caribbean, Neptuno is boosting its distribution division, by formalizing a strategic relationship to represent Airspan's product portfolio providing new and enhanced solutions and services customized for the Caribbean market.

Pedro Andres, CEO of Neptuno Networks, said: "We were impressed by Airspan's robust solutions and experience in this market. Their products' features optimize our business case, and their team has been very helpful throughout the decision process."
