FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DragonWave Announces Distribution Partnership with Ingram Micro Australia
DragonWaves high-capacity Harmony Enhanced solutions now supplied by Ingram Micro for telecommunications, municipalities, and mining projects
Ottawa, Canada, March 13, 2017 - DragonWave Inc. (TSX:DWI)(NASDAQ:DRWI), a leading global supplier of packet microwave radio systems for mobile and access networks, today announced it has signed a new Master Sales and Services Agreement with Ingram Micro Australia. The agreement between the two companies will see Ingram Micro expand its wireless vendor portfolio to the Australian channel with the introduction of DragonWaves extensive product portfolio. The new partnership complements DragonWaves Harmony Care commitment to better service existing legacy customers and increases local sales capabilities across the region.
This new agreement with DragonWave allows us to offer more turnkey network solutions with an unmatched, high-capacity microwave solution said Felix Wong, Ingram Micro Chief Country Executive ANZ. We look forward to building our partnership together and offering new, innovative, high-capacity microwave solutions to the channel in Australia.
The award-winning Harmony Enhanced MC is ideally suited to provide high bandwidth rural connectivity in the most cost effective manner possible. Its dual channel capabilities and integrated compression enables the delivery of 4 to 8 Gbps in a single radio, providing fiber-equivalent capacities for rural backhaul without having to install expensive fiber connections.
Our partnership with Ingram Micro Australia further expands our sales and support capabilities across Australia. Ingram Micro will help launch our new Harmony Enhanced MC product line into very important channel markets where wireless networks are playing an ever-increasing role to augment ongoing National Broadband Network fiber builds, said Peter Allen, DragonWave President and CEO.
