Ceragon Networks announced that a tier 1 mobile operator in Africa is deploying its FibeAir IP-20 Platform and related services to modernize both its access and backbone networks in multiple countries for 4G services.

With this modernization effort the operator is looking to accelerate 4G connectivity to rural areas and enable economic growth in remote cities, rural towns and villages. These areas are characterized by extreme climates and therefore require wireless backhaul solutions that can reliably provide 4G backhaul capacity over long distances in harsh terrain and weather conditions.

According to Ceragon, this existing customer is replacing competitors’ products deployed in its network with Ceragon’s IP-20 Platform to achieve ultra-high capacity and support the expected significant upsurge in capacity demand as it migrates to an advanced 4G network. So far this year, this customer has placed orders totaling over $7.8 million for Ceragon products and related services for this project.

Ira Palti, President and CEO, Ceragon
As consumer demand for high speed mobile broadband in Africa grows, Ceragon is working closely with its African customers to help them plan, deploy and optimize their network modernization projects.
