By Telecom Lead Team: E-Blink has inked a strategic
alliance with Alcatel-Lucent for accelerating its market growth. Alcatel-Lucent
will position the E-Blink Wireless RRH portfolio to its mobile operator
customers.
E-Blink will be present at the Mobile World Congress 2012
in Barcelona.
“E-Blink’s Wireless RRH(TM) solution helps us solve
the connection problems some operators have from the top of the tower down to
the wireless base station. Now our customers can deploy and/or extend their
network faster by simplifying site acquisition process,” said Alain
Biston, head of MGR Product Management of Alcatel-Lucent’s Wireless Division.
The E-Blink Wireless RRH technology consists of a
wireless link that connects the antenna to any base station supporting 2G, 3G
and LTE. It eliminates the need for fiber or coaxial cables, reducing civil
works to a minimum.
“The collaboration between Alcatel-Lucent and
E-Blink is a stepping stone for E-Blink. This agreement is a great opportunity
for E-Blink to expand at the international level and have the wireless RRH
technology adopted by mobile operators around the world” said Alain
Rolland, E-Blink CEO.
E-Blink solutions offer more flexibility to mobile
operators to deploy more sites at target cost. This reduces construction costs
and increases site owners’ approval for the site construction. E-Blink’s
products are currently installed on mobile networks in Europe, Africa and in
middle-East.
