Quebec, QC, September 24, 2015 – Nuran Wireless Inc. (“Nuran Wireless”) (CSE:NUR) is pleased to announce that its GSM SuperFemto and LiteCell solutions continue to be selected for trials by multiple operators located in six countries in four continents including South America, Africa, Asia and Europe.
NuRAN’s GSM LiteCell is a low-power (54W) and low operating expense (“OPEX”) GSM base station designed specifically for use in rural, low-density and lower average revenue per user (“ARPU”) urban areas.
NuRAN’s GSM LiteCell has already been deployed in North and South America (including Mexico), Europe, Africa and Asia where it has given rural communities network coverage for the very first time.
It is now being trialled by a number of additional operators and community organisations in South America and Africa providing voice coverage to villages in rural areas not currently covered by any kind of voice or data network as well as in urban areas where there are still opportunities to provide an affordable service to lower ARPU customers. Successful trials would convert into hundreds of units in the next coming months.
NuRAN’s GSM-EDGE Superfemto can be deployed separately from GSM LiteCell to provide coverage in remote areas. Applications include in-building coverage, offshore platforms and ships, private networks.
According to GSMA Intelligence, 2G technology still accounts for 58.5 per cent of the world’s 7.11 billion mobile connections, compared to 32.5 per cent for 3G and 9 per cent for 4G. The analyst house expects 2G technology to maintain global market dominance.
“By developing the lowest power consumption equipment, at the lowest cost, we are filling a large hole in the global rural telephony market. These ongoing and additional trials continue to demonstrate that our near and long term prospects look very promising as we accelerate the deployment of our products worldwide” stated Martin Bedard, Co-President and Co-CEO of Nuran Wireless.
