Intracom Telecom Supplies its Leading FWA Solution
to Open Fiber in Italy

The operator selected the WiBAS(tm) at 26 / 28 GHz for the
Rural Ultra Broadband project across the country

Intracom Telecom, a global telecommunication systems and solutions
vendor, announced today the award by Open Fiber, one of the largest
fiber network providers in Italy, to supply its FIXED WIRELESS ACCESS
(FWA) SOLUTIONS FOR THE RURAL ULTRA-BROADBAND PROJECT OF THE
“DIGITALLY UNDERSERVED” AREAS of the country.

The ambitious plan of Open Fiber foresees to deliver Ultra Broadband
services in about 20 million households in each of the 20 Italian
Regions. In remote and rural areas or with the presence of scattered
houses, FWA (Fixed Wireless Access) technology, with which Intracom
Telecom won the tender, will be intensively used. This high quality
broadband infrastructure is crucial in Italy’s economy and society.
Citizens will benefit by having unrestricted access to the best
performing networks that will be equipped with the best technology, the
WIBAS™ solution of Intracom Telecom.

The FWA technology is the only one which allows for quick deployment at
places with minimum telecommunication infrastructure, and Intracom
Telecom’s WiBAS(tm) 26 / 28 GHz platform is the only one that can offer
Ultra-Broadband capacities. The platform is designed to provide service
at speeds comparable to those of optical fiber, and at a fraction of the
time needed to deploy them. Intracom Telecom’s FWA platform is featuring
advanced algorithms to dynamically share available resources, maximizing
the number of concurrently served subscribers, and automations to assist
and accelerate the installation of the terminals, and the service
provisioning. With a very high reliability and lightweight design the
components of the WiBAS(tm) platform are easy to deploy and maintain at
difficult areas.

Mr. Mohamed Ahmed, CEO of Intracom Telecom, stated: “_We are very
excited to support Open Fiber’s ambitious plan to provide to Italian
citizens high-speed broadband connections as 25% of the population still
resides in rural areas. Our goal is to enable operators to contribute
further to the economic and social development of the country, the third
largest economy in EU, and with the usage of state-of-the-art technology
to improve citizens’ quality of life. Our technology, offers fiber-like
service and has become the benchmark in the ultra-wide band sector, thus
I am confident that our collaboration with Open Fiber will be
exceptional and we will contribute the maximum towards helping them
realize their vision and business goals_.”
