As a leading expert in the telecommunications industry, Comarch is poised to leverage its expertise and resources to contribute to the Alliance’s mission. Our competence in this regard has been demonstrated through numerous successful past implementations of 450 MHz-based solutions, such as the central IT system handling the LTE450 radio network for critical German infrastructure operators ordered by 450connect.
“Becoming a member of the 450 MHz Alliance is a great honor for all of us. The experience gained from past implementations of core IT systems operating on the 450 MHz frequency will surely be an invaluable aid to the Alliance’s endeavors in the utilities, energy, and public safety sectors. Comarch will also cooperate in the certification process to ensure that our products meet the standards established by the organization’s guidelines. We are excited for this new collaboration and the many opportunities that lie ahead of us,” says Marcin Kaleta, Telco Division Director at Comarch.
Comarch will exchange knowledge with new partners in the utilities, energy, and public safety domains.
