Release Details
Wataniya Telecom, Maldives Chooses Harris Stratex Networks for Significant Expansion Projects Across the Island Nation
Harris Stratex Networks introduced TRuepoint 6500 to enable operators to meet fast-growing capacity requirements at the core of the network—where network availability is vital. TRuepoint 6500 is an extremely robust architecture for SDH trunking and N+1 protection with multiple levels of hardware redundancy and anticipatory radio path protection. Further, the high performance TRuepoint 6500 radio design provides the ability to reduce tower loading through smaller antenna sizes, eliminate repeater sites by reaching further, and save on power plant and building facilities—all critically important to the Wataniya network across the Maldives.
With the TRuepoint 6500, a complete Harris Stratex Networks ProVision® Element Management System (EMS) will be installed for Wataniya, providing advanced monitoring and control of the complete microwave network and associated devices. A critical part of the Harris Stratex Networks solution is the comprehensive range of services provided, including network design, equipment logistics, installation, commissioning, and detailed operator and maintenance training.
“Wataniya Maldives is committed to providing new and innovative services to our customers. Harris Stratex Networks was able to offer the equipment and installation services necessary for Wataniya Maldives to deliver on that commitment,” said Mr. Abraham Smith, Chief Operating Officer of Wataniya Telecom Maldives. “We are excited to work with Harris Stratex Networks in developing a transmission network which will support the high speed data needs of our new 3G+ network, and deliver the speed and reliability that our consumer, business, and government customers deserve.”
“Wataniya Telecom Maldives has our total commitment,” said Raj Kumar, vice president, Asia Pacific Sales and Services, Harris Stratex Networks. “We understand their requirements and appreciate the need for a robust high-capacity core network and that’s why we are supplying our new TRuepoint 6500 products, together with our experienced service offerings.”
