FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

CCI WIRELESS SELECTS DRAGONWAVE HARMONY ENHANCED MC FOR NETWORK UPGRADE

 

Ottawa, Canada, March 22, 2017 - DragonWave Inc. (TSX:DRWI)(NASDAQ:DRWI) a global supplier of packet microwave radio systems, today announced the selection of the Harmony Enhanced MC backhaul solution by Corridor Communication Inc. (CCI Wireless), a service provider in the province of Alberta, Canada, delivering broadband services to rural customers. This deployment will bring increased capacity and new capabilities to CCI Wireless’ existing rural microwave network.

 

DragonWave’s Harmony Enhanced MC will replace CCI Wireless’ existing DragonWave Horizon Compact radios, while reutilizing their installed base of antennas. Harmony Enhanced MC provides a more than three-fold capacity increase over CCI Wireless’ existing network, by leveraging the Harmony Enhanced MC’s dual channel capability, combined with 2048QAM modulation support.  In addition, the industry leading system gain of the Harmony Enhanced MC allows CCI Wireless to achieve the highest possible capacity and availability for their most challenging long-range rural links.

 

“We selected DragonWave and its partner, Alliance Corporation after determining that the Harmony Enhanced solution best met our high capacity and long reach requirements,” said Amir Bigloo, CCI Wireless CEO. “Through our evaluation, which included field testing, we found the Harmony Enhanced MC to offer superior performance and greater operational simplicity.”

 

The DragonWave Harmony Enhanced MC is a high capacity microwave solution that enables operators to deliver 1 Gbps of uncompressed throughput in a single radio (using 50MHz channels) and up to 2 Gbps per radio with the industry leading Bandwidth Accelerator+ bulk compression feature.  Harmony Enhanced MC also delivers the highest system gain in the industry, allowing customers to maximize capacity and minimize antenna sizes on longer links.

 

“Harmony Enhanced MC is uniquely suited to support CCI Wireless capacity requirements for its rural broadband network,” said Peter Allen, DragonWave President and CEO. “We are pleased to be able to continue to work with this customer to upgrade their existing DragonWave backhaul network.”
