Microwave radio provider DragonWave has signed an agreement with Indian operator Reliance Jio Infocomm to supply microwave products and related services.
DragonWave will provide 5,000 turnkey Horizon Compact+ links in support of the Indian operator’s plan to roll out extensive, nationwide 4G/LTE networks. The deployment will also include services to be delivered by DragonWave’s Indian joint venture, DragonWave HFCL.
Following testing, Reliance Jio selected DragonWave’s Horizon Compact+ for use as transport system for high capacity backhaul to support their upcoming 4G network. The solution offers a combination of 2048 QAM modulation together with the industry’s only bandwidth accelerator bulk compression capability, to deliver unsurpassed spectral efficiency.
“We believe that the Horizon Compact+ radio brings considerable value in India where backhaul spectrum is both limited and expensive. We look forward to delivering un-paralleled spectral efficiency in our customer’s network,” said Peter Allen, DragonWave’s President and CEO.
