Digital Divide project will bring high-speed
connectivity to over 1500 remote locations
TORONTO, March 17, 2016 /CNW/ - Redline Communications
(www.rdlcom.com) Group Inc. (TSX: RDL), a leading provider of
wide-area wireless networks for the most challenging applications
and locations, today announced that it has been selected to supply
a network design and the networking equipment for a wireless
network that will provide connectivity to approximately 1500 rural
businesses, schools and government buildings in Mexico.
The network is part of Mexico's
Digital Divide initiative, a major multi-year program funded by the
Mexican government. The program is intended to ensure that all
communities in Mexico, no matter
how remote, will have access to the Internet to support education,
business and healthcare at higher levels than would be possible
without this access.
Redline's network solution will bring wireless connectivity to
citizens in a geographic area that spans more than 64,000 square
km's of often remote terrain, giving them high-speed access to
government services, remote health care and educational services in
addition to an internet service that rivals any available in major
urban centers.
"We are very pleased to have won this project in a competitive
bid environment", said Jeff Gould,
senior vice president sales and marketing at Redline. "We
demonstrated that Redline's technology required only two thirds the
number of base stations proposed by the leading competitor.
Since base stations are the largest cost component for a project of
this type, the customer recognized Redline's solution not only as
the best technical product but also as having the lowest total cost
of ownership."
Redline provides high quality wireless networks that operate
over wide areas and in the most challenging locations.
Powerful enough to support high-speed data, voice and video,
Redline's rugged design ensures secure continuous operation for
decades, minimizing ongoing support costs. Redline has
been providing wireless network solutions since 1999 and has a
significant footprint across Mexico for both digital divide and public
safety applications.
This network order is expected to be fully delivered by the end
of Q2 2016.
