Global 450 MHz Alliance Welcomes Polish IT Giant Comarch
Kraków, December 2023 – Polish telco and IT giant Comarch has signed up to an international organization dedicated to supporting the development and deployment of services over 450 MHz mobile networks.
The 450 MHz Alliance connects network carriers, vendors of equipment, terminals and software products, and spectrum operators in a bid to drive new standards-based solutions. Its remit covers all aspects of the 450 MHz spectrum, from technical and business challenges to meeting varying regulatory requirements and providing training. The Alliance’s activities include conferences every six months and the delivery of technological support in the form of webinars, expert white papers and more.
Comarch will bring added value to the Alliance thanks to almost three decades of experience in developing and delivering products and services at the cutting edge of telco technology. The company has already implemented several successful projects based on the 450 MHz spectrum. One flagship solution provided by Comarch is the central IT system handling the LTE450 radio network for critical German infrastructure operators ordered by 450connect.
Marcin Kaleta, Telco Division Director at Comarch, said: “We are proud to bea member of the 450 MHz Alliance, and look forward to the opportunity for mutual sharing of experience and expertise within the group. I am certain that our track record in implementing core 450 MHz IT systems will enhance the overall capabilities of the Alliance in fields such as utilities, energy, public safety and 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.”
As well as sharing knowledge with Alliance members in the above-mentioned domains, membership will allow Comarch to develop pre-integrated solutions for those sectors in the 390-450 MHz spectrum. The goal is to promote and facilitate TMF and ODA-standardized BSS and OSS products globally, across 450 MHz networks.
"As the 450 MHz Alliance, we are thrilled to welcome Comarch as our newest member. Their expertise and innovation will be invaluable as we continue to advance the potential of the 450 MHz spectrum. Comarch's inclusion in our Alliance signifies a commitment to fostering growth and collaboration within our industry. We look forward to a fruitful partnership and the exciting developments that lie ahead,” said Igor Virker, Managing Director of the 450 MHz Alliance.
