TORONTO, April 6, 2017 /CNW/ - Redline Communications
(www.rdlcom.com) Group Inc. (TSX: RDL), a leading provider of
wide-area wireless networks for the most challenging applications
and locations, today announces that its customer Mohawk Networks,
LLC has been awarded a US$6.4 million
grant to begin a rural broadband connectivity project that will
bring internet access to Lewis County,
NY. This award comes as part of the New York State Broadband Program Office's
effort to connect citizens in unserved and underserved areas of the
state. The project will generate revenue of approximately
US$2.5 million for Redline and is
expected to be deployed over the next 18 months.
Mohawk Networks' project will be deployed with Redline's
Enterprise product line which has been built on Redline's Virtual
Fiber™ technology and developed specifically to address the service
provider markets and other similar industries. The selection of
Redline came after Mohawk Networks evaluated numerous products and
vendors for a complete solution. In addition to its
technology, Redline will provide RF design services and support,
while its value added channel partners will provide
fulfillment.
"The team here at Mohawk Networks lives in the North Country and
cares deeply about providing Akwesasne's co-residents with the same level
of service accessible in large metropolitan areas," says
Jeff Beekhoo, Mohawk Networks' CEO.
"With this in mind, we wanted to use the best technology on the
market. Redline became the obvious choice for us after we tested
various vendors. We were impressed that Redline provided
outstanding support in the preparation of our solution. Their
ability to consult with us and develop a deployment and execution
plan, and their dedicated teamwork approach demonstrated their
commitment to our success."
"The Redline team is pleased to support Mohawk Networks as they
implement this important project," said Redline CEO, Rob Williams. "Internet service providers have
responded well to our revamped Enterprise product line which
provides reliable, competitive and profitable solutions with
superior performance."
About Mohawk Networks
The Saint Regis Mohawk Tribally owned enterprise, Mohawk
Networks, LLC, was launched in 2015 after the Tribe's completion of
a $15 million broadband project that
laid sixty-eight miles of fiber and connected hundreds of
Akwesasne residents to reliable,
cost-effective broadband service. Mohawk Networks developed
an off-territory subsidiary company, North Country Broadband, which
is activating customers in rural, unserved counties, utilizing
fiber to wireless technology, a less expensive deployment that
leverages existing E911 towers. Mohawk Networks created a
model that will deliver high speed Internet to our surrounding
communities, increasing access to education, healthcare and
strengthening our regional economy. For more information,
