Dryden Municipal Telephone System (DMTS) has deployed Lemko Corporation’s Node1™ 4G Core Cellular solution to expand its mobile cellular network. The expansion will result in the largest GSM network in Northern Ontario.
“Lemko’s solution allows DMTS to profitably deliver data, voice and text services to our smallest communities,” said Peter Gillis, General Manager, DMTS. “The system provides a full suite of GSM cellular services, so our customers and those roaming into the area will have access to the most technologically advanced applications available today.”
Node1 delivers an all IP, packet-switched mobile broadband cellular solution. It provides a complete cellular network at every cell site by local completion of all switching, control, authentication and CDR billing record creation. This approach eliminates backhaul, utilizes data-friendly IP lines to the cell site, and allows the operator to keep all inter-connect traffic on their network.
“Lemko is proud to work with DMTS, delivering mobile communication to vastly underserved communities,” states Bo Pyskir, President, Lemko Corporation. “Node1’s fully distributed IP approach transforms the operator’s business model by dramatically lowering costs while providing economic development opportunities through wireless IP communication.”
