Sawtel To Deploy Meru's WLAN System for World�s Largest Virtual Cell

Associate Editor, INTERNET TELEPHONY
 
Meru Networks, a leader in wireless VoIP infrastructure, has been chosen by Hartford, CT-based Sawtel Inc., a Satellite and Wireless Telecommunications company, for an island-wide WiFi deployment in the Bahamas. With the Meru solution, Sawtel will offer converged voice, data, and video service to both business and residential users across the island of Nassau. The voice services will give subscribers access to hosted IP PBX, PBX Enhanced Services, and IP Centrex applications.


 
“We have always believed that wireless technology is the ideal vehicle for delivering cost-effective services with QoS to customers who would otherwise not have access,” said Sawtel Inc.’s Chief Technology Officer, Eric Asare. “Meru's WLAN System is the only solution that could deliver toll-quality, carrier-grade voice capabilities and the mobility and RF features required for our deployment.”


 
Asare also pointed out the added benefit that Sawtel expects to save more than $340,000 by using the virtual cell concept fropm Meru.
 
Sawtel has made a name for itself by providing fast and reliable access to the world at the lowest possible cost via a blend of leading-edge technologies. For the 1000-node, island-wide deployment, Sawtel will use Meru’s WLAN System, both outdoors and in, to create the world’s largest virtual cell — it will cover 140 square miles.

“Because our WLAN system was designed specifically for pervasive wireless VoIP networks, we can address the needs of carriers and their users and regional providers,” said Kamal Anand, vice president of marketing, Meru Networks. “Deployments like this validate the wireless VoIP carrier business model and demonstrate the economic and technological benefits — including the superior scalability — of Meru’s WLAN System.”
