Ceragon Takes FibeAir IP-10 Radios to NigeriaCom
Ceragon Networks, world’s leading backhaul specialist said it will be exhibiting, FibeAir IP-10, its innovative technology radios for the mobile network industry at upcoming NigeriaCom, a highly rated telecom event in Nigeria.
The FibeAir IP-10 is a family of radios, which provide fiber in the air, thereby allowing network operators to connect their various base stations in the shortest time possible with minimal efforts and at reduced costs yet using cutting technology.
Mr. Bekele Tadesse , Nigeria country director, Ceragon, said that “the FibeAir IP-10 Family of radios is the best product for providing last mile connectivity from the array of subsea cables that have landed in Nigeria already.
Tadesse was speaking on the company’s preparation to demonstrate the suitability and appropriateness of the FibeAir IP-10 solutions for the Nigerian, and indeed, African environment,
He said Ceragon remains the only company with a radio solution that can be placed outdoor, in the harshest of conditions, yet still deliver the connectivity it promises.
“Whether you are talking of the MainOne cable or the Glo 1 cable or in fact the WACS cable as well as the SAT-3 cable, this is the product that every mobile operator or bank or oil company, or anyone who needs to take services from the cables, requires to deliver the last mile connectivity,” he added.
Tadesse stated, adding “Ceragon is there to take all these cables to the customer and the cable operators can concentrate on something else.”
Speaking further on Ceragon’s special solutions for the African continent, Tadesse said with the ‘Split Mount’ evolution radio “Ceragon is the only company having this solution, which is energy-saving, space saving and is economical; because the radio is mounted outside, hence no need for air-conditioning, and no need to create any space indoor to mount it. And with incidents of fiber cuts in Nigeria, for instance, the FibeAir IP-10 family of radios reduces all the headaches operators usually have when their fiber is cut.
“Ceragon is the #1 MW vendor in Long Haul (LH). In Africa during the first half of 2012, Ceragon sold 80% of the amount of Evolution radios that we sold in the whole of 2011. Evolution offers a winning set of features from cost-efficiency (low design-to-cost ratio because we develop and manufacture all our products by ourselves and therefore control the cost) to the all-important power-efficiency which is an extremely significant issue in Africa, to superior spectral efficiency and system gain.
“As the number one specialist, we understand MW better than anyone else, which is why we know that a MW network is so much more than just boxes. It’s about offering the customer a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and enabling him to deploy the network fast so that he can start generating revenues from it and earning a return on his investment (ROI). Ceragon’s innovative approach to MW means that we are expert in finding different ways to enable the customer to squeeze more bites out of the spectrum and increase his network utilization and efficiency.” Tadesse explained,

Legit.ng recently joined forces with the Shade of Life Foundation to become a voice of autism, and drive advocacy for improved media support during Autism Awareness Month.
Participants at the event
Conversations around media support exploration was led by Joseph Omotayo, head of Department for Human Interest Stories at Legit.ng, and Dr. Eziafakaku Nwokolo, founder and CEO of the Shade of Life Foundation,
This partnership is a response to the concerns raised by organizations like the Shade of Life Foundation about the level of support received from the media in discussing autism as a disability.
While other disabilities may receive attention, autism, with its critical developmental implications often lacks adequate representation in mainstream media.
Recognizing the importance of addressing these concerns, Legit.ng took proactive steps by integrating itself into the essence of autism awareness.
It facilitated a one-hour workshop with Dr. Nwokolo, the founder of the foundation, to deepen our understanding of autism, its various spectrums, and the language boundaries associated with it.
Other steps we took in advocating autism awareness in the media, can be seen in our attached press release.
Legit.ng believes that by amplifying the voices of autism and advocating for better media representation, we can contribute to creating a more inclusive and accepting society for all.
While 85 per cent of Nigeria is in darkness, Tanzania, an African country has shut down five hydroelectric stations in a bid to reduce excess electricity in the national grid.
Kassim Majaliwa, prime minister, Tanzania, has said the main plant, Mwalimu Nyerere Hydroelectric Station, alone generated enough electricity to power major cities, including Dar es Salaam, the country’s commercial hub.
It is the first time Tanzania, which suffers chronic power shortages, has closed hydroelectric stations due to excess production.
“We have turned off all these stations because the demand is low and the electricity production is too much, we have no allocation now,” an official from state-run power company, Tanesco, said.
The 2,115MW Julius Nyerere Hydropower Dam is said to be almost filled with water following heavy rains that started early this year.
Meanwhile, while the country has an installed capacity of 1,938MW and the grid installed capacity of 1,899MW, Nigeria which has an installed capacity of 13,000MW is struggling to electrify 85 per cent of its electricity consumers.
