Kranj and Moscow, 7 October 2019 – Iskratel, the leading European communications solutions provider, and Athonet, a recipient of a record four Global Mobile Awards, are pleased to announce their partnership ahead of one of the industry’s leading events – GSMA’s Mobile360 Eurasia in Moscow, Russia.
As enterprises embrace the benefits of broadband video and digital automation, mobile operators have a new business opportunity to provide private 5G and LTE networks for low latency, high performance, locally-controlled, and secure connectivity that is required in specific use cases. Enterprises, industries, and public-safety organisations require networks that are different from those traditionally deployed by mobile operators. They require local traffic and subscriber management, localised control, and an IT-friendly front-end that can be used by professionals with no previous LTE or 5G expertise.
Athonet’s award-winning solutions empower mobile operators to comply with these specific requirements. Leveraging more than 70 years of innovativeness, Iskratel brings its rich expertise in network transformation, and traditionally strong local presence in Russian and CIS markets. Combining this experience with mission and business-critical environments, Iskratel completes its offering to address the growing segment in the industry.
“We are pleased to work with leaders in innovation such as Iskratel to bring connectivity for the digital automation of enterprises and public safety to Russia and the CIS. Our solution allows mobile operators to play a major role in modernising enterprise and public-safety communications infrastructure for resilient, low-latency and high-bandwidth services,” said Gianluca Verin, CTO of Athonet.
Athonet is unique in the telecoms industry for its enterprise LTE solution that is built by an enterprise for enterprises to use. This can be integrated seamlessly into a mobile operator's network. It allows mobile operators to break free of the cost, complexity and rigidity of legacy LTE and 5G solutions, and embrace the opportunities created by deploying sophisticated mobile networks to the enterprise and public-safety segments.
"With Athonet, we are creating a powerful ecosystem and technology disruption with the world-leading state-of-the-art communications solution,” said Damir Opsenica, Director of Business Unit Core at Iskratel. “Together we are enabling various industries to reap the undiscovered benefits of digitalisation, making it possible for all."
Iskratel and Athonet will demonstrate the innovative Private LTE Backpack solution at Mobile360 Eurasia 2019, which takes place in the Lotte Hotel in Moscow, Russia, from Tuesday, October 8 to Wednesday, October 9, and at an exclusive event at Iskratel’s representative office in Moscow on Wednesday, October 9.
