NEC Australia is to supply 10 Gbps E-band radio equipment and professional services for Spirit Telecom, which provides independent fast Internet, cloud solutions, and unified communication services to Australians.
Spirit Telecom has a significant NEC wireless backhaul footprint in the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia through the acquisition of World Without Wires. It has over 40 iPASOLINK IX radio terminals deployed to provide high capacity backhaul for corporate voice and data services.
As part of an existing contract, NEC will supply an additional 70 iPASOLINK EX-A terminals with 10 Gbps full duplex throughput over the Spirit network.
The NEC solution allows Spirit Telecom to replace expensive and limited capacity fibre lease line services with a partial mesh E-band Microwave infrastructure, which provides more capacity, resilience and fast return of investment.
The iPASOLINK EX-A is NEC's next-generation carrier grade E-band radio equipment with the highest 10 Gbps full duplex throughput per terminal, providing fibre-like capacity. In addition, the solution supports key features such as H-QoS, AES encryption, 1588v.2 synchronisation, dual 10Gbps SFP+ interfaces, dual power feed options, and ERPS ring protection.
"The Spirit Telecom win is another example of NEC's leadership and expertise in microwave radio solutions. Our market-leading 10 Gbps eireless solution enables Spirit Telecom to reduce their operational cost, while increasing resilience in their network," said Krisztian Som, Radio Solutions Business Manager at NEC Australia.
"Spirit Telecom has gone through an extensive market evaluation and proof-of-concept testing and selected NEC as the market leader in this space to upgrade and extend our network coverage in Melbourne with capacity never thought possible in wireless," said Geoff Neate, MD, Spirit Telecom.
