Ericsson selects NetComm to provide advanced fixed-wireless devicesAug 24, 2011 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Ericsson has selected NetComm Limited to provide advanced fixed-wireless devices needed to connect rural and regional Australian households and businesses to the 2.3GHz fixed-wireless LTE broadband network. The selection is following Ericsson's appointment by NBN Co to build and operate its 1.1 billion dollar fixed-wireless broadband network. NBN Co has an objective to make high-speed broadband available to any Australian regardless of where they live, with the final 7 per cent of premises in areas of low population density to be reached by wireless or satellite. "The leading 4G technology, LTE, has a global momentum and its innovative ecosystem is expanding rapidly. Thanks to this local collaboration, we are able to facilitate the efficient delivery of LTE-based broadband services to homes and businesses that are usually disadvantaged because of their remote location," said Sam Saba, head of Ericsson in Australia. http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
