Solutelia,
LLC (Solutelia) today announced it has completed its investment into
revolutionary millimeter wave point-to-point radio developer and
manufacturer, Athena
Wireless Communications, Inc. (Athena Wireless). This strategic
investment makes Solutelia the second largest shareholder of Athena
Wireless and the exclusive global sales and marketing partner for all
Athena Wireless products.
Athena Wireless brings state-of-the-art technology to fiber backhaul,
and an innovative solution for small cell backhaul. The Athena Wireless
radios are the first fully-digital gigabit millimeter wave radios,
maintaining the smallest size and weight of any millimeter wave radio in
the market.
This new partnership allows Athena Wireless to take advantage of
Solutelia’s respected position as the global engineering consulting
resource to the telecommunications industry. Solutelia expands upon its
stronghold of wireless intelligence solutions by now offering
ground-breaking products which allow wireless carriers, Internet Service
Providers (ISP’s) and healthcare/education/corporate campuses to expand
and offer more capacity where fiber is not available.
“Our customers are increasingly seeing the need to expand their network
by deploying small cell where backhaul plays an important role. Athena
products, including their small cell and backhaul solutions are one of
the most innovative in the market,” said Mohssen Davari, CEO of
Solutelia.
Athena Wireless is known for a revolutionary and exciting portfolio of
products which will be released in 2013 through Solutelia. Included will
be the 60Ghz (released in 2012), the 80Ghz (expected release in 1Q13)
PTP millimeter wave radios and LTE small cell eNodeB (expected released
in 3Q13). Both radios have 1Gbps, full-duplex throughput. “The addition
of Solutelia’s current carrier contacts along with their current and
future sales initiatives will greatly add to our continued sales
growth,” says Eduardo Tinoco, CEO of Athena Wireless. As part of the
strategic investment, Mohssen Davari, CEO of Solutelia will sit on the
Board of Directors at Athena Wireless.
