Ceragon Speeds Coverage Expansion and Network Densification for Gigabit LTE and 5G

LITTLE FALLS, New Jersey, February 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

Ceragon Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ: CRNT), the #1 wireless backhaul specialist, today announced its Advanced Space Diversity capability - yet another tool that leverages its IP-20 Platform's unique multicore technology. This new feature will enable mobile operators to reduce site acquisition costs, accelerate network rollout, and reduce capital and operational expenditures by using fewer and smaller antennas. Ceragon will showcase its new Advanced Space Diversity capability next week at Mobile World Congress 2018 in Barcelona, Spain booth 5G61.

Site acquisition is one of the most difficult challenges mobile operators face on the road to 5G. Network expansion and densification challenges have an impact on services availability in key markets. Advanced Space Diversity accelerates network rollout and cuts site acquisition costs by up to 30% by reducing the number and size of antennas required for links deployed over water or large distances.

"Advanced Space Diversity is yet another tool that is based on our IP-20 Platform's unique multicore technology," said Ira Palti, president and CEO of Ceragon. "This new capability has already been successfully tested by numerous mobile operators worldwide. Designed for every deployment scenario, this new capability is sure to help mobile operators accelerate advanced 4G service rollout by resolving their capacity and network densification challenges on the road to 5G."

Ceragon's unique multicore technology continues to fuel mobile operators with new tools to resolve wireless backhaul rollout challenges, helping them increase operational efficiency and grow customer base. Some of the unique multicore capabilities include the ability to:

1. Deploy macro cells and small cells exactly where needed, without backhaul constraints, in any deployment scenario, by doubling the reuse of microwave spectrum channels.
2. Meet Gigabit LTE and 5G capacity requirements by overcoming microwave spectrum congestion.
3. Cut down energy related expenses by saving up to 50% on energy costs associated with the wireless backhaul network.

Ceragon's multicore technology simplifies and expedites 4.5G and 5G wireless backhaul deployments and is available exclusively with the IP-20 Platform.
