America Movil selects Alcatel-Lucent for 4G LTE network in Dominican Republic

Telecom operator America Movil has selected Alcatel-Lucent to roll out 4G LTE network in the Dominican Republic.

As per the 4G deal, Alcatel-Lucent is supplying its 4G LTE network overlay solution to the America Movil subsidiary Claro Dominican Republic.

The new 4G LTE overlay network, the latest stage in America Movil’s Latin American 4G rollout, will cover most of the Dominican Republic’s territory and serve up to 80 percent of its population.

The company said the deployment of Alcatel-Lucent’s 4G LTE overlay solution includes Alcatel-Lucent’s LTE Radio Access Network, 9471 Wireless Mobility Manager, and the 5620 Service Aware Manager (SAM).

The network is part of America Movil’s 4G LTE Latin American rollout, which began with Claro Puerto Rico in 2012.

Earlier this year Alcatel-Lucent and America Movil announced an end-to-end 4G LTE overlay deployment with Claro Uruguay.

Omar Acosta, marketing director, Claro Dominican Republic, said: “With the deployment of our new 4G LTE network, we are ready to make an evolution in the services we offer our customers. Dominicans can now enjoy multiple benefits of the highest mobile broadband speed, in the largest and strongest network of our country.”
