SR Telecom sells wireless technology to Czechs

SR Telecom Inc. has sold wireless access systems to Czech Radio in a deal potentially worth $8 million US. The Montreal-based developer of fixed wireless network access technology said today that Czech Radio will use its Angel non-line-of-sight broadband platform in a local exchange carrier system to deliver telephone and data services in 26 cities throughout the Czech Republic. SR Telecom said that under the order, which follows a field trial in Pilsen, deployment is to begin next month in six cities, including Prague. Czech Radio will use the Angel technology to deliver business and residential voice and broadband data service, with subscribers accessing the network through existing telephone wiring or Ethernet computer connections.
