Craig Wireless Deliver "Internet Everywhere" Services
Craig Wireless has launched "Internet Everywhere" services such as VoIP, videoconferencing and interactive gaming in Greece using a Nortel solution. The WiMAX network, will be the WiMAX commercial network in Greece, based on this technology, and will make it possible to deliver high-speed services to areas across Greece that currently have limited or no access to broadband service.
UNINORTEL is providing the WiMAX-ready solution for Craig Wireless. The network will be powered by Nortel's WiMAX product in the 3.5 GHz band and uses advanced transmission techniques to bridge the "last mile" connection between an operator's network and a user, eliminating the need for fixed copper, or cable in the ground. Network implementation services will be delivered by specialist networking company KARRE P&H.
"This important project in Greece with Craig Wireless is a example of how Nortel's WiMAX products can be used to deliver broadband access in metropolitan areas without the cost and disruption of laying down cables or upgrading local exchanges," said Michel Clement, president Southern Europe, Nortel. "And, when Craig Wireless decides to extend service into more rural areas, the Nortel solution can be cost-effectively extended to reach new cities and villages across Greece connecting more users with the Broadband WiMAX network. Nortel's local presence and support in the form of joint venture UNINORTEL was also critical to the success of this project."
