William Wong, CEO of UTStarcom, said: “This is a major advancement for UTStarcom as we expand our market share in the managed Carrier Wi-Fi market. We are now firmly established as a market leader in this space, not just in Japan but in other markets around the globe.”

UTStarcom Carrier Wi-Fi solution will enable telecom operators to add additional features and applications in the future, giving the operators a scalable solution to meet their evolving business needs.

Earlier, UTStarcom supplied Carrier Wi-Fi solution to Softbank in Japan on pilot basis. UTStarcom co-developed this Carrier Wi-Fi solution with Softbank and it focuses on the end-user experience and large scale deployment.
