The City of Quitman, GA (pop. 4500), is getting a mobile wireless broadband system from Navini Networks. It will use Ripwave Element Management System (EMS) with Rodopi Software’s EasyOSS billing for managing accounts. Camvera Networks was contracted to design and deploy their new wireless broadband network.
“We are very pleased to be able to automate the bulk of the work with this integrated solution,” stated Carl Peede, president and chief executive officer of Camvera Networks. The management software is anticipated to eliminate the need to learn and maintain two or three disparate systems in order to keep track of provisioning and billing of customer accounts.
“Navini Networks delivers portable plug and play broadband wireless internet access with a pre-WiMAX solution today,” said Sai Subramanian, vice president, product management, Navini Networks. “With our smart antenna technology, we will enable the people of Quitman to evolve to mobile WiMAX in the future.”
Quitman will get broadband wireless speeds and have a clean evolution to Mobile WiMAX as that standard matures, say its supporters.
“We are heading in the direction of a total `plug-n-play’ solution for operators,” stated Camvera Networks’ COO, Walt Henley. “The next iteration of our integration will provide for customer self-service. The end user can sign up on-line, receive the modem via mail or pick it up at city hall, and then take it home without having to have a service call.”
