Comstar Selects Nortel for Moscow WiMAX Network
Comstar announced that it has selected
Nortel equipment to develop the first mobile WiMAX network in Moscow. 160 base
stations are expected to be built in Moscow by the end of 2008. The overall
investments in the project are expected to amount to approximately US$ 20
million in 2008.
The building of the IEEE 802.16e standard (2.5-2.7 Ghz range) based network has
already started and is expected to be completed by the end of 2008, with Kvazar-Micro
(now renamed as SITRONICS Information Technologies) acting as the equipment
supplier and Intellect-Telecom as the project designer.
Sergey Pridantsev, President and Chief Executive Officer of Comstar UTS,
commented: “The mobile WiMAX network, which will be added to other broadband
internet access technologies, will allow us to provide a very broad range of
telecommunications services to our subscribers in Moscow, whether at home, in
the office or on the street. The offering, which comprises a wide spectrum of
unique solutions, will increase our subscriber loyalty and strengthen our
position in the Moscow broadband internet access market.”
