Ceragon Wins US Backhaul Deal

PARAMUS, N.J. -- Ceragon Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ: CRNT), the #1 wireless backhaul specialist, today announced that it has won orders for high-capacity wireless backhaul point-to-point and point-to-multipoint solutions and last mile equipment from the Florida Rural Broadband Alliance (FRBA) . The FRBA chose Ceragon's FibeAir IP-10G and FibeAir 2500 wireless backhaul solutions for its new all-IP network.

The deployment, which is funded by federal broadband stimulus funds, is part of a network that will bring high-speed broadband service to un-served and underserved communities in 15 rural counties in Florida, providing much-needed connectivity to subscribers and expanding business opportunities in the area.

The deployment is part of the FRBA's project to build a new "middle mile" broadband infrastructure, connecting two rural areas of Florida. High-speed broadband access is expected to create jobs, enhance public safety, improve the delivery of healthcare services, enhance emergency services, and promote educational opportunities for the disadvantaged communities located within these rural areas.
