TECORE Deploys Iraq Wireless Local Loop CDMA Network; Moutiny Intercity Network to Provide 3G and IP-Based Services

Posted on: Monday, 11 September 2006, 03:00 CDT

TECORE(R) Wireless Systems, a pioneer supplier of 3G and next-generation wireless networks, announced today that it is deploying a large-scale, IP-based turnkey CDMA wireless local loop network for Moutiny, an Iraqi-based telecommunications services provider. The network will initially support 200,000 subscribers in a 10-city region in Iraq, with growth expected to quickly reach over a million subscribers accessing voice and 3G data services utilizing an IP network topology. TECORE is providing all core network and radio access systems, microwave interconnectivity, integration with satellite communications systems, overall project management, and deployment services.

The solution brings together a number of TECORE's latest product innovations, including its Linux-based SoftMSC(R) System, enhanced high-capacity/high availability HLR, integrated media gateways, integrated SIP proxy server, messaging, voicemail, and prepaid services. This architecture allows operators to best leverage IP-based signaling and bearer traffic over a combination of satellite and landline backhaul links. The Radio Access Network consists of CoreCell(TM) all-IP CDMA base stations integrated with satellite backhaul. The network is CDMA 1xEV-DO ready, enabling high-speed data services and multimedia applications. The complete solution includes CoreAccess(TM), a Java-based system providing comprehensive element management, configuration, provisioning, and administration for all core network components and subscriber data.

"This leading-edge wireless local loop deployment demonstrates TECORE's excellence in rapidly integrating and deploying all-IP CDMA networks," according to Neal Calanni, TECORE's vice president of Marketing and Product Strategy. "TECORE's SoftMSC-based core network allows operators to leverage the latest IP technologies, including SIP and other emerging IP-based services, to optimize network operations and reduce capital and operating expenditures."

This network is the latest deployment of TECORE's complete end-to-end turnkey solutions. With over 40 worldwide deployments, TECORE has proven success in quickly and effectively deploying multi-technology wireless networks in diverse regions throughout the world.

About Moutiny

Moutiny is the trade name of VitalTel, Ltd, an Iraqi based telecom company. Despite the huge security and other challenges, Moutiny has been deploying its WLL network mainly in the central and southern regions of Iraq. Moutiny, which has offices from Anbar all the way to Nasria and Amara, started its deployment preparations in December of 2005 with an interest to provide fixed wireless voice, data, Internet, and value added services in urban and non-urban areas in Iraq. Moutiny selected TECORE as its equipment vendor to accelerate the deployment of network infrastructure required to provide badly needed basic fixed telephone and Internet services in Iraq. Moutiny anticipates launching its services in multiple provinces in Iraq in a few weeks. Moutiny prides itself in being 100% staffed with Iraqi talent, many of whom returned to Iraq after decades of being abroad.
