Telecom network vendor Huawei announced that it deployed enterprise LTE (eLTE) solution for IB-RED, a Spanish wireless network service provider.
The telecom operator upgraded its existing networks, which feature WiMAX and Wi-Fi technologies that run on the 5.8 GHz free band, with the latest technologies to improve customer experience. The Balearic Islands, a tourist destination in Spain, welcome an average of 20 million visitors each year.
“The eLTE network on Majorca now provides a downlink data rate 50 times that of the previous WiMAX network, ensuring both visitors and residents can enjoy stable high-speed access and unlimited download service anytime, anywhere on the island,” said Alberto Navarro, chief executive officer, IB-RED.
Huawei in a statement said that its eLTE solution supports a coverage radius of 15-25 km (using a single eNodeB) and a maximum downlink data rate of up to 100 Mbit/s to coat the widely scattered and sparsely populated Balearic Islands.
IB-RED has deployed an eLTE network on the islands of Majorca and Ibiza, and plan to roll out the eLTE network on the remaining Balearic Islands of Menorca and Formentera in the future.
