Fujitsu, Ceragon Partner to Deliver 5G Wireless Backhaul to North American Market

Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc. and Ceragon Networks Ltd., the wireless backhaul specialist, have signed a reseller agreement for Fujitsu to sell Ceragon’s wireless backhaul solutions portfolio.

This agreement expands Fujitsu’s end-to-end wireless networking portfolio to include the Ceragon FibeAir IP-20 microwave and millimeter wave solutions. The Ceragon platform will enhance Fujitsu’s multivendor wireless backhaul solutions portfolio with its versatility, spectral efficiency, bandwidth capacity, low energy consumption and proven reliability.

Fujitsu will combine its systems integration services with Ceragon’s wireless backhaul products to offer comprehensive turnkey solutions including design, build, operations and maintenance to North American service providers.

Fujitsu market-leading NetMod services include digital cross-connect systems (DCS), SONET, operation support systems (OSS) and microwave replacement. NetMod increases network reliability, capacity and performance, lowers the total cost of ownership and readies the network for next generation services.
