Telkom SA Expands Deployment of Alvarion Equipment

Telkom South Africa has placed additional orders for Alvarion's MGW broadband fixed wireless access equipment to complete a country-wide,1.9 GHz wireless network project initiated in 2003. Over the past year, Alvarion's 1.9GHz systems have been deployed in five communities (Hekpoort, Pretoria, Upington, Bloemfontein and Grahamstown). Additional systems are being installed in suburban and rural areas lacking in existing telecom infrastructure and to upgrade others requiring replacement systems. Financial terms were not disclosed. http://www.alvarion.comhttp://www.telkom.co.za
