Nokia forms MicroWave Backhaul EcoSystem backed by DragonWave
DragonWave President and CEO Peter Allen said, “The increased focus on Nokia’s growth through partnership, will be strengthened through the creation of the microwave backhaul ecosystem, and allows both companies to have a greater focus on offering the best end-to-end solution. As the long-standing global partner in this ecosystem, DragonWave looks to build on our cornerstone foundation, and continue to grow the partnership through continued joint development and delivery of complete mobile broadband solutions. This is demonstrated by our progress in 2015 already, where we jointly have 15 active and completed trials, and 5 new end customer projects.”
“Our mobile operator customers require a wide range of wireless solutions from small-cell to high capacity macro-cell. As Nokia’s global microwave backhaul partner, DragonWave continues to offer our customers high-capacity and spectrally-efficient solutions,” said Vittorio Tagliabue, Head of Microwave Transport Partner Business at Nokia Networks. “Together, we introduce new powerful innovations to our microwave backhaul portfolio, like the recent base station transport plug-in card for zero footprint solutions.”
