Amsterdam, Netherlands and Moscow, Russia, October 25, 2005 InfiNet
Wireless, a global provider of Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) and
pre-WiMAX equipment for last mile connectivity and private and public
networks, today announced that Enforta BV has selected the company as the
wireless equipment provider for a nationwide broadband network. Enforta,
headquartered in The Netherlands and 50% owned by Sumitomo Corp., has
significant operator holdings throughout Russia. InfiNet Wireless and
Enforta signed an equipment supply agreement which will lead to the
creation, over the next 24 months, of the largest WiMAX network in the
Russian Federation spanning 28 major cities.
This relationship is a clear win for everyone, said Lee Sparkman,
president of Enforta. Tens of thousands of Russians in medium-to-large
sized cities across the country will finally be able to easily and
affordably obtain broadband access. InfiNet Wireless was a natural choice
for the project due to their strong local presence, technical support and
superb Russian R&D center.
The network, utilizing the InfiNet Wireless Series 5000 family of broadband
wireless routers, promises to dramatically increase Internet access
throughout Russia. Internet availability is currently below 20%, with
broadband access below 2% of the total population. Initial deployments have
already proven successful in the city of Novosibirsk, and roll-outs are
underway in another 10 cities across Russia.
We are very excited to join forces with Enforta to provide vital broadband
communications services for corporate, government and residential
subscribers across the 11 time zones of Russia, said Robert Stubblebine,
CEO of InfiNet Wireless. Our quality and reputation were just as important
as our product performance to Enforta.
InfiNet Wireless equipment offers unsurpassed reliability, performance and
flexibility to design, build and manage fixed and nomadic wireless access
networks. With over 300 commercial and corporate networks operating in more
than 30 countries around the world InfiNet is well equipped to provide the
quality, throughput and reliability required for such a large scale
multi-service WiMAX network.
