October 26, 2010/in Carrier Wi-Fi /by Johan Terve

STOCKHOLM – Fanoos Telecom, a licensed telecommunications service operator in Iraq, has selected Aptilo Networks, the global leader in pre-integrated solutions for control of billing, user services and access in wireless networks including Wi-Fi, WiMAX™ and LTE, to enable Fanoos’ new WiMAX network in northern Iraq utilizing the Aptilo WiMAX CSN System™. Aptilo is providing the complete backend of the network, including prepaid billing capabilities.

Fanoos will begin deployment of WiMAX network in Sulaimaniyah, Mosul and Kirkuk, utilizing the existing tower infrastructure from AsiaCell. Rollout is expected to be complete by the end of the year. The network will address both the residential and enterprise markets and address a market with a population more than 10 million. Aptilo will enable a multitude of different business models including payment via premium SMS and vouchers.

Additionally, Aptilo’s WiMAX CSN System will serve as a foundation to enable a future Wi-Fi hotspot network, providing a cost-effective means to connect Wi-Fi hotspots throughout Iraq with WiMAX infrastructure as backhaul and opening up new market opportunities for Fanoos. Aptilo’s solution also enables full interoperability between the various WiMAX vendors and products involved in the Fanoos deployment, to deliver exceptional scalability and streamline costs.

“Aptilo’s WiMAX solution allows us to rollout the network very quickly, and positions us well for future network expansion, including into a secondary business model of offering Wi-Fi hotspots,” said Hiwa Rauf, CEO, Fanoos Telecom. “Aptilo’s proven technology is ideal for this large-scale, growing network, which we hope to build into the largest in Iraq.”

It is based on the Aptilo AAA+ (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) Core, which provides service management, access control (including intelligent roaming), policy management and advanced billing capabilities (such as prepaid and hotlining) for wireless and fixed networks.

“Fanoos Telecom is paving the way for advanced communications in Iraq,” said Jan Sjonell, Managing Director, Asia/Middle East, Aptilo Networks. “With a quarter million voice subscribers, Fanoos can tap into this established market leadership to deliver advanced 4G mobile broadband to help bring this next level of connectivity to residents and businesses, which will also spark new economic growth.”
