By Radwin, PRNEMonday, December 7, 2009
K&K Active Will Distribute RADWIN's Wireless Broadband Links in Finland
TEL-AVIV, Israel, December 8 - RADWIN (www.radwin.com), a leading provider of Backhaul and
Broadband Wireless Solutions, today announced that it has signed an agreement
with K&K Active, a value-added distributor based in Finland and part of the
Swedish Lagercrantz Group, a multi-million dollar company listed on the
Nordic Stock Exchange. K&K Active will distribute RADWIN's wireless broadband
systems in Finland and provide full product training and support to
customers.
RADWIN provides wireless broadband radios in the sub-6GHz range. The
company's solutions deliver native TDM + Ethernet on a single link with up to
100 Mpbs throughput, at ranges of up to 120 Km/75 miles. Incorporating the
latest technologies and an advanced feature-set, RADWIN's point-to-point
links operate in non line-of-sight and high-interference environments,
challenging topographies and extreme weather conditions.
Jouni Litmanen, K&K's Product Manager, stated: "We believe that RADWIN's
products will make a great impact in Finland because they offer the perfect
mix of carrier-grade performance at truly competitive prices. The Finnish
government has decreed that starting July 2010 every person in Finland shall
have the right to a Broadband connection. In a large and sparsely-populated
country such as Finland - this is a great challenge. We see huge potential
for RADWIN's solutions to be used for last-mile connections and backhaul
applications because of their cost-effective price and the ease & speed in
which they are deployed. Furthermore, in Finland the 5.8 GHz ETSI frequency
band has recently been allocated for unlicensed radio links and RADWIN's 4
Watt output power enables achieving higher operational range and greater
capacity than ever before possible in this segment."
Yaron Ziv, RADWIN's Sales Director, Europe, stated: "We are excited to
partner with K&K Active, and believe that our radios offer a great solution
to all market sectors in Finland - from telcos to private networks. With our
solutions in place, carriers and service providers can extend their networks
and reach rural areas more quickly and cost-effectively than ever before.
