Tata Teleservices selects Ceragon for deploying GSM network

Telecom major Tata Teleservices Ltd today said it has selected Ceragon Networks for supporting expansion of its GSM mobile network in seven new circles.     

Ceragon has received new orders and will support TTSL in expanding its GSM mobile network to seven new communication circles that cover a population of nearly 400 million, TTSL said in a statement.     

TTSL has already deployed Ceragon's equipment in three circles following a long-term supply agreement that the companies signed in 2008, it added.     

The agreement has been extended, bringing the number of circles served by Ceragon equipment to a total of 10, including the Delhi metro area, it said.     

"We found that Ceragon's systems offer a variety of benefits including advanced IP capabilities and a nodal solution with integrated cross-connect, which fit our network expansion strategy perfectly and will also serve to support our network evolution towards 3G," TTSL President and Chief Technology Officer A G Rao said.
