Russia's Largest WiMAX Operator Adds Broadband Wireless Coverage to 13 More Cities
9/1/08 - Enforta announces the expansion of wireless broadband services to an additional 13 cities, thus increasing the company's overall service area to 68 cities.
In September the company will launch operations in the cities of Armavir, Artem, Birobidzhan, Vanino, Dzerzhinsk, Zlatoust, Miass, Novorossiysk, Novotroitsk, Sochi, Sterlitamak, Syzran, and Ulan-Ude.
"Earlier this year we undertook the largest expansion initiative in the company's history, simultaneously launching 22 new cities," said Victor Ratnikov, Enforta's General Director. "The successful launch of those cities has allowed us to accelerate our geographical development beyond the original plans. We had previously announced expanding by 10 cities in the 4th quarter of 2008, but we are now fortunate to include 3 additional cites."
With the addition of the new service areas, Enforta expands its leadership as a broadband operator. The company operates the largest wireless broadband 'footprint' in Russia, servicing cities comprising 70% of Russia's urban population.
"The WiMAX technology continues to perform well and we are pleased with the subscriber growth," said Lee Sparkman, Enforta's President. "With this announcement we conclude our geographic deployments for 2008. We are now finalizing plans with our investors for an exciting 2009 that further leverages our 'first to market' leadership in wireless broadband services."
