The deals are with WiMAX Operators,
Maximali of Georgia, Intellecom of Ukraine and iCON Communications of
Armenia. Maximali and Intellecom acquired the Outdoor Modems (OS230) and
Indoor Modems (DV230) respectively. Whilst, iCON Communications
purchased both Indoor Modems (DV350) and USB Modems (UM350).
“According to the Broadband Forum Q2 report, broadband growth of Eastern
Europe was reported at 6% quarterly and 29% yearly, representing a
two-fold growth compared to the world and Greenpacket foresees
tremendous opportunity for the growth of WiMAX networks in the region,”
said Kelvin Lee, Senior General Manager of Green Packet Berhad.
Commenting on the Armenian deal, iCON’s Chief Commercial Officer, Raffi
Kassarjian said, “Ease of installation is essential to us as it helps to
increase user adoption for broadband services. We see that Greenpacket’s
plug and play modems allow our subscribers to get connected instantly
with less end-user education.” iCON plans to introduce VoIP in its
second phase and DV is the ideal choice as it has built-in VoIP
capabilities.
Meanwhile, Maximali’s CEO, Teimuraz Gogoberidze cited that the superior
quality of OS230 was the main reason for signing with Greenpacket.
“Winter is coming, so we needed modems that could withstand sub-zero
conditions. In fact, the outdoor modems we use must be robust and built
to withstand extreme weather conditions, which Greenpacket’s modems
could do,” he said.
Greenpacket offers a full range of WiMAX CPE which includes indoor,
outdoor and USB modems and supports the 2.3 GHz, 2.5 GHz and 3.5 GHz
frequencies. |
