Ronan Kelly,
ADRAN’s chief
technical officer
for EMEA and APAC, said: ‘Advancements in consumer electronics
and applications continue to drive consumer bandwidth demands in
the direction of Gigabit broadband. At the same time, governments
around the world are increasingly recognising that much of their future
competitiveness will come in the form of digital innovation.
‘They are implementing policies encouraging investments in
telecommunications technologies that enable the vision of a Gigabit
Society, which will underpin their digital competitiveness strategies.’

The upgraded platform will allow Connect
to meet the zero-downtime, high bandwidth
demands of premium residential and enterprise
customers across the country, while at the same
time significantly reducing maintenance and
service costs.
Jubran El Ayan, RF manager at Connect, said:
‘We are using our WiMAX Network on the 2.3GHz
frequency band, to serve residential customers.
‘While we are able to meet the standard
bandwidth requirements of most of our residential
customers, some of our premium residential and
corporate customers such as banks and retail
outlets, required higher bandwidth.’
For a number of its most critical and strategic
locations, Connect opted to deploy the InfiLINK
XG, which is capable of reaching
a peak net throughput of
500Mbps in 40MHz of
spectrum and more than
130Mbps in only 10MHz.
Working directly with
the InfiNet team, Connect
deployed in excess of
30 base stations and
250 subscriber terminals
across Lebanon in just a
few months.
