IN WIMAX DEPLOYMENT IN LUXOR, EGYPT
Participates in GITEX technology week in Dubai, UAE
MONTRÉAL (QUÉBEC)— September 10, 2007— SR Telecom (TSX: SRX) is helping visitors to Egypt stay connected to the Internet with its WiMAX solution, symmetrymx.
In a project appropriately dubbed “While in Egypt stay connected”, organized jointly by T.E Data and TeleTech, SR Telecom’s symmetrymx will provide backhaul access from an Internet service provider (ISP) affiliated with T.E Data to the end service delivered through WiFi. SR Telecom will provide integration support to long-time partner TeleTech.
“Our symmetryMX solution is improving communication in cities and rural settings around the globe,” says Garry Forbes, senior vice-president of sales for SR Telecom. “We are pleased to be involved in an initiative that makes it easy for people to access the Internet in a remote location.”
A total of 16 Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) sites were installed in May 2007 prior to the service launch today in Luxor, Egypt. Powered by its industry-leading Network Management System, Quality of Service (QoS) and Space-Time Coding (STC), symmetrymx will provide support for both video and voice as well as for security protocols.
SR Telecom and TeleTech signed an agreement to partner on education and knowledge transfer last May in Montréal, Canada during a mission sponsored by the Government of Egypt.
SR Telecom will be present during the week-long global conference, GITEX, in Dubai, from September 8-12, 2007.
