The Network business of Motorola, a communication solution provider, announced it has selected Eden Rock Communications, a provider of 4G wireless Self Organizing Network or “SON” solutions, to serve as a system integrator for delivering Motorola's (News - Alert) WiMAX end-to-end or “E2E” low teledensity solutions for small operators.
Eden Rock will provide system engineering services for the E2E network and will integrate and test the E2E network and develop tools along with methods and procedures for the E2E WiMAX (News - Alert) network.
In addition, the company will host a fully integrated testing site for the E2E network at its labs in Saltillo, Mexico, company officials said.
Small operators serving smaller demographic area or lower ARPU options can easily deploy the Motorola low teledensity WiMAX solution. The technology drives down the cost per subscriber and operators are able to achieve greater cost savings and higher margins per subscriber, company officials said.
“Motorola's WiMAX low teledensity solution offers small operators the opportunity to take advantage of the same benefits that larger WiMAX operators have realized for quite some time. The services offered by Eden Rock enable smaller operators to create their own 'virtual 4G technology team,' leveraging the same support resources as some of Motorola's largest WiMAX customers, ” Chaz Immendorf, president and CEO of Eden Rock Communications (News - Alert), said.
According to Fred Gabbard, vice president of product management, Motorola Networks, the initiative between Motorola and Eden Rock can save small WiMAX operators OPEX (News - Alert) and CAPEX costs by defining a complete reference network that may be replicated into a fully integrated, turnkey E2E WiMAX system.
“With Eden Rock's E2E and technology expertise and Motorola's product leadership, we have created a powerful combination that is ready to deliver WiMAX networks to this important community of smaller operators, many of whom are pursuing challenging business cases,” Gabbard added.
