Redline's Award-Winning RedMAX(TM) Solutions Deliver High Performance WiMAX Services
TORONTO, Canada, November 18 // -- Redline Communications, a leading provider of standards-based broadband wireless equipment, and IRAQTEL, the telecom subsidiary of Al Emaar Holding Group - Iraq, today announced it will deploy the first WiMAX network in Iraq using Redline's WiMAX Forum Certified(TM) RedMAX products. Vision Valley, a
specialist in systems integration, network design and implementation, will provide its regional expertise to ensure the network is effectively established. IRAQTEL will deliver advanced voice and broadband services to thousands of businesses and residents throughout its region via the Redline network.
IRAQTEL will begin its RedMAX deployment in Basrah, and will expand its WiMAX network to include additional regions across Iraq. The Redline solution will enable IRAQTEL to quickly and cost-effectively establish broadband wireless network to deliver the voice and broadband services its enterprise and government customers need and extend its network to reach more businesses, residents and municipal organizations.
"IRAQTEL has been searching for a WIMAX solution that would provide a cost-effectively alternative to VSAT networks, which have been the only available solution for establishing broadband connections because of the lack of copper line infrastructure," said Sheikh Fawzi Al Lami, Chairman of IRAQTEL. "We chose Redline's RedMAX products to establish a carrier-class telecommunications backbone capable of supporting a scalable, high performance network."
As the first to bring WiMAX technologies to Iraq, IRAQTEL joins a growing roster of leading telecommunications carriers that have chosen Redline's RedMAX products. The most widely-deployed WiMAX Forum Certified(TM) system, RedMAX enables carriers to establish WiMAX networks that will deliver the performance and features they need to deliver increasingly advanced communications services and expand their subscriber base over time.
"In choosing RedMAX, IRAQTEL has demonstrated its commitment to meeting the communications requirements of its growing customer base," said Majed Sifri, President and CEO, Redline Communications.
"IRAQTEL will deploy one of the world's most advanced WiMAX networks to address the lack of existing communications infrastructure with a vision to serve the people of Iraq with innovative and affordable wireless communications services."
"We have worked closely with Redline to design and deploy the WiMAX network for Iraqtel and other major telecommunications companies throughout the GCC," said Mahir Elfadil, Chief Executive Officer, Vision Valley." RedMAX products enable operators to position themselves at the forefront of the telecommunications industry, by delivering the most advanced wireless communications technologies available today."
