Enforta Expanding Wireless Broadband Services in Russia

Yaroslavl, Russia.


Enforta, the largest broadband wireless service provider in Russia, has chosen Alvarion Ltd.'s broadband wireless access solution to expand its national broadband network to the six cities of Voronezh, Lipetsk, Penza, Samara, Tula, and Yaroslavl.

Covering 4.5 million residents upon full deployment, the network will operate at 5.2 GHz and provide feature-rich broadband services at reasonable prices. Alvarion's local award-winning partner and authorized distributor, Cedicom, is deploying the network for Enforta. Upon completion of this network expansion, Enforta networks will cover twenty four regional capital cities in the country.

"Building on our past successes, Enforta is bringing modern broadband services to additional Russian cities using the world's most popular wireless broadband system," said Vladimir Shkvarin, technical vice president of Enforta. "Alvarion's field-proven solution enables us to offer high speed data to our corporate and small business customers, while giving them quality of service and extended coverage. This new project leverages our more than four year partnership with Alvarion, and we look forward to mutual opportunities for expanding our broadband service area."

"As the leading wireless broadband service provider, we are proud to be selected again by Enforta to play an important role in extending wireless broadband throughout Russia," said Rudy Leser, Alvarion's corporate vice president of strategy and marketing. "The growing demand for broadband in Russia together with Enforta's plans to deploy additional cities later this year, entail extensive future potential there for both companies."

Enforta (www.enforta.com) was founded in October 2003 by a group of telecommunication industry executives with the objective to provide broadband telecommunication solutions based upon wireless and other state-of-the-art technologies in Russia's regional capitals.
