Addressing entry-level rollouts and low population density region requirements

Las Vegas, NV – October 10, 2016 –WISPAPALOOZA —Telrad Networks, a global provider of innovative LTE telecom solutions, today announced the launch of a price optimized LTE solution, addressing the needs of low-density population areas and new network deployments. The Telrad solution provides operators with a cost effective NLOS solution to reach more subscribers in a broader range of scenarios and environments.

The launch consists of the LTE CPE8000 subscriber unit, paired with the flagship BreezeCOMPACT base station, now available in a 2×2 radio configuration. Many Internet service providers serve areas with lower population density where a 4×4 radio may exceed the needs of the deployment scenario, adding unnecessary cost. The new 2×2 BreezeCOMPACT addresses cost-sensitive deployments, providing operators with a price-appropriate solution, leveraging the same platform of the multi-radio solution, and providing operators an upgrade path to a 4×4 configuration with a software-only upgrade – something no other vendor provides.

“The new offering brings a new level of flexibility to operators deploying fixed LTE networks,” stated Mark Altshuller, Chief Technology Officer for Telrad Networks. “Telrad continues to address the challenges that wireless broadband operators experience today in setting up LTE networks. Telrad is determined to offer a solution that provides both small and large operators affordable LTE.”

Telrad continues to add products that enable operators to reach subscribers in a greater array of challenging situations. The new cost-optimized solution offers:

  • Affordable NLOS LTE
  • A Price appropriate option for lower density or new service areas
  • The ONLY LTE 2×2 product with zero-touch option to upgrade to 4×4
  • Pay as you scale
  • A Standards-based LTE solution including the EPC
  • The New LTE CPE8000 – a cost effective, NLOS, LTE subscriber unit at a new price point

“After hearing the same frustrations from operators in the field, we feel it is imperative that we offer today’s operators an LTE solution that suits their needs and business model,” said Chris Daniels, Vice President and Regional GM of North America for Telrad. “Many operators serve lower-density, underserved rural areas. Telrad’s new offering provides operators more options to better manage and grow their subscriber base.”

Telrad’s end-to-end solution includes services and support, helping operators expand quickly and efficiently. It is based on a robust roadmap that will provide the tools needed to effectively compete in the broadband market today and in the future.

Telrad is exhibiting at the WISPAPALOOZA exhibition in Las Vegas at Booth #617, October 11-13, 2016. Visitors can learn more about the company’s suite of high-performance LTE products and services including the new price-optimized solution.
