Greenpacket Signs 4G Device Deals with Aria and Max Telecom

Greenpacket, a provider of next generation mobile broadband and networking solutions, announced it has secured 4G device deals with major operators, Aria and Max Telecom.

The deals help the company expand its presence in Europe. Greenpacket’s 4G WiMAX devices are already deployed in one in three EU countries including CIS. The company has gained traction in countries like Hungary, Italy, Portugal, Romania and Spain.

Last year, Greenpacket recorded a four-fold increase in sales shipment in Europe, a significant increase since the company entered the market in 2009.

“Our consecutive wins in the region prove that operators have confidence in our products,” said Kelvin Lee, senior general manager of Greenpacket Berhad, in a statement. “We see 4G WiMAX playing a significant role especially in Eastern Europe.”

“The technology is well-suited as the most cost effective fixed-DSL replacement for rural connectivity; serving areas where wireline broadband is unavailable and 3G wireless broadband is limited and of low-quality,” Lee added.

Europe’s broadband market has seen considerable evolution last year. With digital divides between rural and urban areas and huge gaps in economic stature between EU countries, there is huge potential for growth in the region, according to Greenpacket. The EU is aggressively pushing for broadband coverage with an aim to provide broadband to all rural Europeans by 2013.

“We are committed to the European market, and will continue to build relationships and evolve our products to suite the specific needs of our EU clients and the EU market at large,” Lee added.

Greenpacket is currently serving operators such as Clearwire, Zapp, MVM and 2K Telecom. The company is actively engaging other major 4G WiMAX operators and with their partners.

Earlier in September, Greenpacket announced two WiMAX compliant indoor modems, the DV235 and DV360. The new modems allow operators to bring broadband connectivity to the masses who are similarly looking to have more variations of feature full and cost effective CPEs.
