Augere Wireless
telecom experience and local partnerships are geared up to deliver broadband
service in underserved markets enabling customers to get high speed and
reliable access to the Internet.
Mobility and broadband are among the main elements of Ericsson’s vision of
a Networked Society. With LTE and TD-LTE, the mobile broadband experience will
reach the next level. It is exciting to see India, one of the world’s largest
telecom markets, planning the next steps for mobile broadband,” said Fredrik
Jejdling, head of Ericsson in India.
The rollout of services will start from early next year, with a soft launch
planned for early Q2 2012.
Augere currently has access to spectrum in Pakistan; Bangladesh; the states
of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh in India; Uganda; Rwanda and Tanzania.
Access to additional spectrum is being actively pursued across Africa and Asia.
Augere’s first commercial wireless network was launched under the Qubee
brand in Pakistan in July 2009. This was closely followed by the Bangladesh
network in October 2009. By mid-2011 Augere was operating wireless networks
comprising more than 650 radio base stations and serving over 100,000 broadband
customers.
