ITZ is using RADWIN’s systems to drive high-capacity services to large corporate clients including banks and mining companies in the capital city of Lusaka, and in Kitwe and Solwezi in the Copperbelt. Beacon Telecom, a RADWIN certified partner, was the distributor for this project. RADWIN 5000 is a high capacity point-to-multipoint solution that delivers over 200 Mbps per base station sector, and operates seamlessly in harsh conditions in licensed and unlicensed sub-6 GHz bands. Systems deliver dedicated bandwidth per end-user, enabling operators to offer and meet agreed-upon service level agreements (SLAs). Colwyn van Rensburg, Managing Director of ITZ: “Originally we planned on deploying a WiMAX network, but after evaluating RADWIN 5000 we understood that this wireless solution was the best option for large corporate links and the way to go forward. Using the RADWIN Network Planning tool we were able to effectively plan the network, and the links were easy and quick to deploy.
