Baud Telecom Names Dragonwave ‘vendor Of Choice’ For Last Mile Enterprise Access

“The DragonWave solution offers an appealing combination of benefits to GO Telecom,” said Ziad Edeis, Manager – Studies & Proposals Department with BTC Networks. “For example, the Horizon Compact allows us to meet GO’s needs to be able to introduce low-latency services, including voice and high-speed data, in locations where fiber access is unavailable or prohibitively expensive—and then adjust capacity quickly and easily as needed with simple software upgrades. Plus, the spectral efficiency of the DragonWave solution will allow GO Telecom and our other customers to cost-effectively deliver the maximum amount of revenue-generating services over their licensed spectrum allotments.”

BTC Networks, through its partnership with the operators, supports enterprise services in more than 30 cities across Saudi Arabia, and BTC Networks has furthered its reach to markets across the Middle East. DragonWave’s Horizon Compact provides BTC Networks with a proven, robust and feature-rich access solution for state-of-the-art business services that integrate legacy Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) and carrier-grade, high-capacity native Ethernet applications. The Horizon Compact’s advanced failover and preemptive-handoff capabilities ensure high degrees of traffic security and service reliability, and its remote scalability and integration of traditional split indoor modem and outdoor radio functionality into a single, small, all-outdoor chassis contribute to a low total cost of ownership.

“BTC Networks is a terrific partner for us in the increasingly important Middle East marketplace, and the Horizon Compact is the right solution for last-mile enterprise access and fiber extension,” said Peter Allen, President and Chief Executive Officer of DragonWave. “Our solution will help operators like GO Telecom offer the most appealing business services without concerns that operational and spectrum costs could sabotage profitability.”
