Todd Graetz "We have been very well-served by our primary deployment of 5 GHz-based Aperto systems, especially as more and more unlicensed frequency wireless operators have joined the provider community in Dublin. Aperto's narrow channel sizing has kept our networks virtually interference-free in the 5 GHz frequency. This has helped to build our reputation for delivery of high-quality business class service. Now we are in a position to add the 3.5 GHz licensed frequency as an overlay to our existing network, and we look forward to extending our success with Aperto's 3.5 GHz PacketWave systems. This eases our scalability as we already know the systems deployment and management processes. The growth should be transparent to our teams and our customers. Finally, Aperto's leadership in WiMAX is of consequence to us. We're considered leaders in our sector, and want to work with leaders to sustain our success."
Bart Bonsall "We serve a broad diversity of carriers and their commercial customers in CIS markets, including integrated communications and mobile operators, top-tier banks and credit-card processors, federal facilities and utility plants. Aperto's systems have proven their ability to work well in these applications, in harsh external environments such as Siberia and rural as well as urban installations. Such versatility appeals greatly to our carrier base."
Andrew Chesnokov "We are reaping the rewards of having deployed Aperto's systems for maximum reach and robust IP feature-rich performance. It was our goal to be able to serve the most demanding corporate users with higher quality and far faster speed than the incumbent. We also knew that neither 2.4 GHz spectrum nor 802.11 technology would provide carrier-class metropolitan area networks. Aperto's systems deployed flawlessly in just one day, and their minimal tech support requirements and very high availability allow us to set the new standard for data networking in West Africa."
Serge Dergham "Our success in meeting consumer and portable wireless access demand created an ideal opportunity to take the Maui Sky Fiber model to the next level. We already have at least 5Mbps continuous backhaul traffic from our residential users and hotspots. Since we look to double our subscriber base this year, traffic will continue to grow rapidly. We were ready for the highly scalable wireless backhaul infrastructure Aperto's PacketWave provided between our major nodes."
Chuck Bergson "After rigorous tests with multiple suppliers and platforms, we selected Aperto's powerful PacketWave systems due to their proven superiority in the areas we consider critical to our markets -guaranteed QoS for high-speed business services, highly-reliable performance for backhaul applications, complementary operation with our existing wireless network, and capital efficiency. PacketWave delivered on these challenges and will serve us to fortify the position of leadership that MVS has forged through three decades offering Mexico the best choices in information, culture, commerce and entertainment."
Ernesto Vargas "Aperto Networks is a leader in the development of WiMAX-class network gear, steering this technology into the mainstream.The company looks to be one of the first to certify for WiMAX compliance, has already signed fixed-wireless broadband deals with 100 carriers in 40 countries around the world, and is poised for success." Stephen Wellman
Editor FierceWireless "We built our business around software-driven, end-to-end service delivery processes. Aperto's systems and software are very well-suited to our end-to-end focus. The PacketWave platform worked extremely well in pilot and gave us very high confidence in the company's ability to deliver not only to our current technical requirements, but also to our future needs in scalability, WiMAX integration and network intelligence." Heidi Laughery "We have considerable expertise in wireless networking over unlicensed frequency bands, and received approval in 2003 to operate in the 3.5 GHz licensed band. After testing our current and prospective systems vendors, we chose Aperto for this substantial network expansion and migration of corporate clients to the 3.5 GHz infrastructure. PacketWave's IP feature richness, QoS and advanced capabilities such as adaptive modulation meet our needs extremely well, and the solution economics are very attractive." Sajjid Pasha "We're committed to providing an exceptional quality of service, a wide range of broadband applications, and solutions that are scalable and rapidly deliverable. Aperto allows us to extend our best-in-class networking capabilities, while providing subscribers with reliable access and competitive pricing.We are particularly pleased that PacketWave is able to interface seamlessly with our MPLS based backbone.We are the first carrier to implement MPLS in Lebanon and the first in the Middle East to deploy broadband wireless MPLS based services. The use of MPLS and PacketWave will enable us to deliver Class of Service and dynamic routing allowing better service performance and higher availability, contributing to Cedarcom's market leadership in wireless broadband." Imad M. Tarabay "We deployed Aperto's PacketWave system because
it is clearly the most spectrally-efficient 5.8 GHz platform on
the market. The narrow channel width delivers a clean, robust and
interference-resilient signal consistently. The system gives us
much greater capacity for growth, and performs extremely well in
obstructed line-of-sight circumstances. We get the most out of the
units and out of our subscriber capacity, because the systems fully
deliver on their published range, power, quality and feature specifications." Anthony S. Adams "This pilot in Brittany proves that Aperto
Networks' systems have the capabilities including range and robustness
required for deployment of broadband access. We give PacketWave
high marks for QoS, for spectral efficiency and the richness of
its IP functionality, as well. We expect this pilot to prove the
benefits and efficiency of next-generation broadband wireless access
systems. And because of their leadership in IEEE 802.16 and the
WiMAX Forum(tm), we expect to benefit from Aperto's leading-edge
influence in the implementation of the standard as it proceeds globally." Yann Rochefort "We see critical inflection points occurring
already in the broadband wireless market," stated "Burgeoning
demand, powerful and deployable technologies, and the declaration
of major carrier rollout plans bode well for strong growth. Aperto
is well-differentiated to serve this market, with its unique end-to-end
network approach and its focus on both voice and data service delivery.
In addition, the company supports a protocol-agnostic architecture
that works well for legacy network integration. These capabilities
may contribute to significant market power and competitive advantage
in the company's approach." Jim Moeller |
