NEW YORK-Siemens Telecom Networks will provide point-to-multipoint equipment and systems-integration services for WinStar Communications Inc.’s wireless broadband demonstration network in Washington, D.C.
WinStar has engaged Siemens to integrate P-Com’s point-to-multipoint systems into the network, and to provide asynchronous transfer mode equipment, network management systems and integration services.
In addition, P-Com point-to-multipoint radios supported by Siemens will be added to the demonstration network, and Northern Telecom Ltd. will assume responsibility for the existing equipment, said WinStar.
