Athenea Cenfor boosts its connectivity in Azuaga with the deployment of the Ceragon IP-50EX in partnership with Codipro Success stories
This telecommunications operator from Extremadura entrusted us with a key deployment in its network. With the support of Ceragon and its IP-50EX radio link, we were able to provide its infrastructure with a significant leap in capacity and reliability in record time, reinforcing its position as a local leader in high-speed services.
Technology leaders are by our side, and we are by yours.
The challenge: ensuring continuity beyond fiber optics
In Azuaga (Badajoz), the operator Athenea Cenfor already had a deployed fiber optic network, which serves as the main pathway for data transport. However, like any operator seeking to offer the highest quality service, it needed a backup solution to ensure service continuity in case of fiber optic outages.
The requirements were clear:
- Covering a short span with maximum reliability.
- Ensure a minimum of 2 Gbps to absorb the increase in demand.
- Incorporate a proven quality standard, with guarantees of continuity and future scalability.
- Implementation within a short timeframe, minimizing any impact on the operator's operations.
The solution: Ceragon's IP-50EX, the optimal choice
After analyzing the requirements, the Codipro team recommended the Ceragon IP-50EX point-to-point radio link, specifically designed for this type of scenario.
The reasons that made this option the most suitable were clear:
- 80 GHz band: ideal for short distance spans, offering stability and avoiding interference.
- High capacity guaranteed: with the IP-50EX, Athenea Cenfor has a throughput of over 2 Gbps, sufficient for current services and ready for future expansions.
- Benchmark: Ceragon has established itself as a leader in wireless backhaul solutions, guaranteeing reliability in environments where other brands do not reach the same level of quality.
- Established trust: the operator had already worked with Ceragon solutions, currently having 5 links from the IP-50 family, which facilitated the choice due to its proven performance.
The project was completed in just two days of installation, thanks to Codipro’s comprehensive methodology and the prior preparation of the teams.
The phases included:
Review and update of equipment to rule out incidents and ensure that the radios had the latest software version.
Cable laying and assembly of radios and antennas, ensuring a robust and certified installation.
Custom configuration, adapted to the parameters requested by the operator.
Performance testing and certification, confirming that the link reached the required levels of capacity and stability.
This approach allowed Athenea Cenfor to be delivered an operational radio link in a very short time, minimizing service disruption and maximizing the positive impact for end users.
The results: a leap in service quality and guaranteed continuity
Today, Athenea Cenfor has a robust backup system that ensures service delivery even in the event of a fiber optic network outage. The Ceragon IP-50EX radio link not only acts as a backup, but does so with the capacity and reliability necessary to maintain service quality without interruptions or performance losses.
The project also reinforces Athenea Cenfor’s position as a leading local operator, capable of responding quickly to the needs of its community.
“With the Ceragon IP-50EX radio link, we have achieved robust backup for our network, providing it with a high level of responsiveness. The professionalism and approachability of the Codipro team gave us the confidence that the project would be in good hands. Today we can say that we are prepared for any scenario and that our clients enjoy a more secure and reliable service.”
