The need of broadband Internet service across rural areas is growing day by day. To deploy wireless broadband with unique architectures, LocaLoop, Inc. announced the availability of the broadband industry’s first turn-key 4G solution specifically designed to deliver affordable industry-standard mobile and fixed broadband Internet service to rural and remote users.
LocaLoop, a Mobile Internet innovator giving service provider, is delivering this internet service collaboration with Israeli-based Runcom Technologies. According to a press release, the company developed the solution based on its patented cloud technology platform, LocaLoopNet and Runcom’s standard 4G hardware products.
Runcom’s hardware is adapted to low density markets and fine-tuned to work seamlessly with LocaLoop’s virtualized SaaS platform.
“Six months ago LocaLoop and Runcom came together to create a profitable turn-key 4G solution for rural service providers,” said Carl-Johan Torarp, LocaLoop’s founder and CEO. “Today we are making good on that promise.”
“Our products are engineered to meet industry standards with a level of quality that has established Runcom as an innovative industry leader in the global wireless broadband industry,” said Moshe Levinson, Runcom Technologies CEO. “Working with LocaLoop, we have adapted our hardware specifically to deliver 4G WiMAX broadband service economically in low density areas.”
Both companies have developed this 4G solution as a result of the global Strategic Marketing and Technology Agreement that the two companies announced last March.
