Chartered to spearhead the North American entry of a well-funded, new
market entrant. Founded by several of the wireless telecommunications
industry's top scientists and executives, the company, barely a year
old, has already won awards for innovation by a top American-based
global silicon company. Our technology has already earned network
validation and approval by one of the largest mobile carriers on the
planet. The time is right to introduce ourselves North American
customers, who are hungry for solutions that will allow them to leverage
the emerging LTE future without blowing up their business models.

I heard someone is launching something better than Telrad on Monday.
We'll see what it is!

I’ll pipe in.
We were/are an early adopter of LTE. I can tell you that buying into
the Telrad system has been a very good move for us. As of today,
almost 450 Subscribers and 30 sectors deployed in 2.3Ghz and
3.65Ghz. We have a total build commitment consisting of 70 sectors
and 2 EPC cores on our network. From there…who knows.
We have been deploying 4 sectors with Back to Back frequency reuse
using 2 eNodeB’s in split mode. Once we fill it up, we will deploy
additional AP’s and continue to fill…..then once MU-Mimo is running
we will double our subscriber possibility.
Now that we have Breezeview running and ACS, we have complete
visibility into our UE’s and infrastructure. The piece we need to
get integrated is Powercode and the EPC.
Was the LTE piece sold too early???…YES… Is it ready for commercial
deployment now?….YES. Because of early adoption, we certainly
appreciate the features and stability of the platform and EPC at this
point. Thanks to other customers that adopted early, like us, many
bugs and issues have been resolved.
Another point to remember is that the technology has been heavily
deployed by National Carriers in the WiMAX flavour as Alvarion…the
hardware is hardened and works well in extremely cold temperatures
and heat….and lightning resilient because of field proven/hardened
components.
LTE is absolute magic…. Our installers are loving a working,
predictable platform now that we have a strong understanding of
capabilities and I love the fact that new features are a software
upgrade away. We are filling our schedules with customers that have
been waiting a long time for our deployment. I can tell you we
wasted a lot of money with other platforms/vendors, but I am very
happy with our decision to go with Telrad.
Also, kudos to Telrad. They have been absolutely terrific on the
customer service front too…we had some very weird issues just before
Christmas, they sent Guy from Israel on boxing day and we spent a
week in the field diagnosing problems and solving them. Most of the
problems were related to outside interference and on tower
interference. This field diagnosing and knowledge level that Guy has
in the product definitely instilled confidence in the product and
sealed my faith in the decision I made to move forward with them.
Cheers,

We deploy mainly LOS with canopy 450 5ghz. However the telrad
equipment has been amazing at connecting clients that are buried
in trees. I'm extremely satisfied with the performance of the
system...when it works. I added the qualifier of "when it works"
because I feel like we've been a bit of a beta tester. It's a
very new product on the bleeding edge and it's getting better all
the time but we definetly bled more blood than I would have liked.

It seems as if the telrad discussions have gone cold,
seriously looking at it for a new deployment but wanted to
get some feedback from current users, Gino? Etc
They have priced me out at about 45k for 4 radios, 4 sectors
and the basic EPC. $285 for the CPE. This is a fortune
compared to anything else, but if you can truly reach many
more customers and load the aps higher it may pincel out for
me...
So what's the word ?
