Aperto Networks, developer of advanced WiMAX base stations and
subscriber units, and PT. Citra Sari Makmur (CSM), one of Indonesia's
largest telecommunications operators, announced that CSM is expanding
its existing deployment of Aperto's WiMAX-class multi-service broadband
wireless systems to cover a wider area across Indonesia. |

The deployment will take place in stages and will transition from CSM's
currently installed base of Aperto's WiMAX-class PacketWAVE(TM) family
of equipment to Aperto's WiMAX Forum Certified(TM) PacketMAX(TM) family
of products.
"CSM evaluated several different technologies and suppliers before
selecting Aperto as our wireless partner," said Agus Buntaran, CTO of
CSM. "We feel privileged that CSM will be among the world's first
deployments of WiMAX Forum Certified(TM) equipment. The deployment of
this cutting-edge technology is another "first" for CSM, and it is an
appropriate addition to our growing list of achievements."
CSM uses Aperto's gear to provide professional-grade broadband wireless
services to Indonesia's financial services and banking sector,
supporting legacy frame relay applications, as well as offering VPN,
Internet access, leased line and telephony services. CSM also uses
Aperto's platform to provide data, voice and multimedia services to
hotels, enterprises, and high-end residential customers across various
cities in Indonesia.
"We consider CSM to be among the world's most progressive and
forward-thinking telecom service providers," said Reza Ahy, chairman and
CEO of Aperto Networks. "WiMAX is ideally suited for Indonesia, the
world's fourth most populous country, spanning over 17,000 islands. CSM
recognized this and was an early proponent of WiMAX. Now CSM, and their
customers, are poised to reap the rewards of WiMAX."
"Emerging economies like Indonesia can realize tremendous economic
benefits from WiMAX. Aperto's carrier-grade WiMAX Forum certified
solutions can help deliver multi-tiered broadband services to end users
of all types in a cost effective manner helping reduce the digital
divide and promoting economic growth. CSM is clearly taking the lead in
this endeavor," said Manish Gupta, Vice President of Marketing &
Alliances of Aperto Networks. |
