Dubai, United Arab Emirates, (October 20, 2021), Waseela, a leading systems integrator in the region, announces a partnership with ADTRAN®, Inc., the leading provider of next-generation multigigabit fiber access and fiber extension solutions, to bring ADTRAN’s 60Ghz mmWave mesh solution to the Middle East and North Africa for the first time.
ADTRAN’s mmWave solutions provide lightly licensed symmetric gigabit connectivity to residential and business customers where fiber is prohibitively expensive and, in some cases, impossible to deploy.
Waseela as a leading ICT systems integrator in the region for over 14 years, recognized the need for flexible, resilient, fixed wireless broadband solutions that would support a broad range of services without the burden of costly spectrum licenses, and throughout extensive research and testing; Waseela identified the ADTRAN MetNet 60G solution as the only market-proven mesh mmWave solution operating in the 60GHz spectrum, that offers the industry’s first self-organizing and self-healing mesh technology that ensures resiliency, low latency, and deployment flexibility to support Waseela’s customers’ 5G wireless backhaul, smart city applications and last-mile Gigabit broadband access services.
Waseela’s value proposition has always been around identifying and enabling innovative technologies that help our clients meet their business objectives and help facilitate successful adoption of such technologies leveraging its technical expertise and industry experience in systems integration to minimize implementation risks and challenges typically associated with large-scale and complex projects.
Among the key differentiators in this innovative solution, is the high flexibility of deployment and low total cost of ownership, making it a viable extension for fiber connectivity. This technology elevates the applications of Gigabit to Multi-Dwelling Units (MDUs), Single Family Units (SFUs) and businesses, Rural gigabit expansion, Fiber extension, and Gfast backhaul, 4G/5G small cell backhaul, CCTV smart city backhaul, Public Wi-Fi backhaul, and Gigabit point-to-point LAN extension, in which all support a holistic broad of service providers’ subscribers’ experience across the middle east.
