Bell Canada to Deploy Fixed Wireless Broadband Network in Al

[Barry]

Bell Canada today announced that it will deploy one of the largest fixed wireless broadband networks in North America. The company teamed up with Ericsson, end-to-end provider of mobile and broadband Internet solutions, to expand its Alberta network by deploying more than 300 point-to-multipoint (PTMP) wireless links.

As Bell migrates to a next generation Voice over IP (VoIP) network, what should eventually replace conventional long distance calling networks,
customers will continue to benefit from the largest and most reliable national
network in the country, years of voice experience and the expertise of a
highly skilled team of people that will ensure a seamless transition into an
IP world for its customers. Fixed wireless will be part of that transition and
this leading-edge technology allows Bell to quickly and cost effectively
expand its network.

The contract includes a complete MINI-LINK network including point-to-multipoint systems, network management and services. The system is complemented by a point-to-point MINI-LINK High Capacity OC-3 equivalent
solution, providing high-speed data rates of up to 155 Mbps. Implementation has begun on the network, which will cover a footprint of several thousand kilometers across Alberta.
