Large Southeast Asian Mobile Operator Expands Its 4G Network to Boost Its Market Share With Ceragon's IP-20 Platform

LITTLE FALLS, New Jersey, Oct. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Ceragon Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ: CRNT), the #1 wireless backhaul specialist, announced today that a large mobile operator in Southeast Asia has placed additional follow-on orders for its IP-20 Platform products and services in 2019 totaling over $20 million through the end of Q3 for its fast 4G nationwide network expansion project. Fully aligned with the operator's commitment to offer free data plans to its customers, the Ceragon solution has already facilitated fast network rollouts, supporting 200% data traffic growth since the beginning of 2019.

This ongoing investment is in support of the operator's aggressive strategy to increase its market share and revenues by offering customers free voice calls over LTE (VoLTE). The expected increase in subscribers requires the operator to quickly ramp up its network capacity to support more data traffic. In order to increase its operational efficiency, the operator - a veteran Ceragon customer -selected Ceragon's all-outdoor IP-20 Platform products, which support an exceptional combination of fast rollout and low TCO results.

The Ceragon solution provides the operator fast-to-deploy, reliable backhaul connectivity that effectively supports the growing capacity demands of its new 4G sites across the country's rural and suburban areas. By deploying Ceragon's all-outdoor, multicore solution the operator not only benefits from fast site acquisition, easy-to-install solution and minimal spectrum costs, but can rapidly upgrade its existing network to meet very high capacities, in preparation for 5G.

"This is another important step in our successful, long-lasting partnership with one of Southeast Asia's most innovative mobile operators," said Ira Palti, president and CEO of Ceragon. "Our futureproof solutions help the operator quickly grow its market share by further expanding its 4G network today and preparing for 5G down the road using our all-outdoor multicore approach. We are thrilled to continue to enable the operator to affordably connect more people and improve the socio-economic development of many communities throughout the country."
