Quebec, QC, Canada, February 16, 2016 – NuRAN Wireless Inc. (“NuRAN Wireless” or the “Company”) (CSE:NUR), a leading supplier of mobile and broadband wireless solutions to connect the next billion, is pleased to announce it has received a repeat purchase order to provide mobile coverage to hundreds of ships from its long time partner On-Waves, an Iceland-based maritime mobile network operator.

  

NuRAN Wireless GSM Superfemtos have been used for many years already to deliver voice and data service to the passengers and crew members of several hundred ships, by connecting the vessels to the On-Waves mobile core network through a satellite backhaul being bandwidth optimized directly on the basestation. Since satellite communications are extremely costly, keeping the overall amount of data transmitted to a minimum, albeit without compromising the quality of the user’s experience, dramatically reduces the operations expenses (OPEX) and contributes to make the Superfemto the lowest cost GSM solution available on the market.

  

“The Superfemto delivers the level of performance and reliability that maritime demand. Yet, it is cost efficient to the point that we can target ship sizes and types that were previously considered non-profitable”, stated Kristinn Ingi Larusson, CEO of On-Waves.

  

“NuRAN is well known for connecting remote areas like rural communities, but our products are meant to make the GSM technology ubiquitous by turning even the most challenging sites into profitable deployments. With our solutions, it becomes possible to reach everyone, everywhere and the sea is not an exception to our mission.” said Martin Bédard, Co-President of NuRAN Wireless.
