DragonWave Inc.’s AirPair wireless Ethernet radio product is approved for use in Russia. The Russian Ministry of Communications gave the Ottawa company the go-ahead to offer the point-to-point microwave radios designed for Internet protocol and carrier throughout Russia, through DragonWave new reseller partner Cedicom.
“Russia is seen by many industry experts as a significant growth market for broadband wireless,” says DragonWave CEO Peter Allen. “Global expansion has been a central element of this company's business plan, so with a strong distribution channel in place and the next-generation AirPair radio now approved for deployment, DragonWave is committed to expanding its presence in this market.” The company also recently formed a reseller partnership with NextWave Broadband Inc., which is bringing DragonWave’s products to several European markets, including Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia and Slovakia.
