Archer Telecom adopts CPQD's core network solution to offer FWA broadband services

Arqueiro Telecom, a company that has been providing shared backhaul for wireless network operators for over 5 years, is adopting C2n, CPQD's 4G/5G converged core network solution, to offer FWA broadband services to the market (Fixed Wireless Access). This is the first application of C2n as a network core for FWA services – the solution developed by CPQD has already been used in a private 4G LTE network. 

In the case of Arqueiro, C2n is being integrated into assets such as 4G radio base stations (eNodeB) from market providers, expanding the connectivity of these networks and enabling the offer of new services with a reduction in the total cost of ownership (TCO). ). “Robustness and TCO reduction are some of the advantages of C2n, a solution that allows the implementation of private network projects and FWA services at costs compatible with the country's reality”, says Tatiana Mesquita, responsible for C2n marketing at CPQD. 

This was precisely one of the attractions that motivated Arqueiro to invest in the C2n platform as the core of its network. “It is a Brazilian solution, priced in Reais and with very good local support”, emphasizes Steven Roberts, CEO of Arqueiro. “In addition, the product integrated very well and quickly with our eNodes and network assets,” he adds. 

Roberts also highlights the flexibility of the solution, which facilitates the expansion of the service. “We are starting to offer the service in the capitals of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. But, through our partners, the intention is to expand the offer to customers such as operators, internet providers and agribusiness, for example, in other locations”, he reveals.  

Launched last year, the C2n solution is a complete 4G/5G converged core network platform that is simple to deploy and operate and targets the market for private networks and FWA services. Flexible, agnostic and modular, the CPQD solution does not depend on specific suppliers or on a very heavy IT infrastructure. In addition, it is scalable, and can be quickly resized to meet the increase in the number of accesses.
