NEW DELHI: Israeli 5G telecom gear maker Ceragon Tuesday said it has received follow-on orders of $29 million from tier-1 Indian telecom operators since the starting beginning of 2023.
“The orders include both hardware and services focused on upgrading existing network capabilities to 5G, expanding capacity, improving rural connectivity, and providing customers with reliable uninterrupted high-speed experiences,” the company said in a statement.
It added that the delivery and deployment of Ceragon’s products and services are expected primarily in Q2 and Q3 of this year.
“When leading global operators continue to count on Ceragon as their primary wireless transport vendor, it’s a great testament to the trust we have earned. The strength of our product portfolio, our high standard services, and our vast knowledge in the wireless transport domain as a global vendor, have been key in winning this trust,” said Doron Arazi, Ceragon CEO.
Bharti Airtel has recently announced that it plans to cover the entire urban India with its 5G service by September 2023. The telco had earlier announced to provide 5G network coverage in urban areas by March 2024.
By contrast, Reliance Jio Group CTO Shyam Mardikar at a recent industry event organised by ETTelecom had said that the telco aims to complete full urban coverage with 5G by May-end, an by the end of summer, its True 5G services will be live in most cities. “We will complete our full deployment as the calendar year ends, and that will be humongous,” said Mardikar.
