TORONTO and CHANTILLY, Va., June 8,
2021 /CNW/ -- Redline Communications Group Inc. ("Redline
Communications") (TSX: RDL), a leading-edge provider of industrial
wireless broadband network connectivity solutions for
mission-critical applications, and Morcom International, Inc., an
industry leader in the design and implementation of broadband
wireless infrastructure systems, announces today the
installation of Redline's 3GPP iLTE network in Arlington County, Va. This industrial-grade
broadband wireless solution utilizes the Citizens Broadband Radio
Service (CBRS) spectrum and provides improved broadband access,
increased network stability and reliability, and minimal latency
for real-time applications.
Redline &; Morcom were able to complete the 1st phase of the
project in 1/3 of the usual execution and deployment time.
The initial goal of Arlington
County was to offer remote connectivity to educators as they
sought to provide broadband internet access for remote learning to
teachers and students throughout the county's school system
during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Arlington County has been
impressed by Redline's and Morcom's responsiveness and overall
support of the county to date," states Jack
Belcher, Arlington County's
chief information officer. "The throughput capacity has been
most evident in the speed with which they installed critical
internet connections for educators -- all under the CARES Act
deadline."
The CARES Act provides $31 billion
in emergency funding to students, schools, institutions, and states
across the U.S. and gives states $13
billion to support school districts.
Redline and Morcom were able to complete the first phase of the
project in one-third of the usual execution and deployment
time. Morcom's system design and implementation, as well as
the efficient architecture of the Redline solution enables easy
expansion for the county as it brings on additional educators and
students for remote learning.
Arlington County has taken on
operations and maintenance of the network itself minimizing OPEX
spend on the network. This included acquiring its own private
Redline FlexCore Evolved Packet Core (EPC) server via the
infrastructure arrangement.
"The term 'mission-critical' really begins in the classroom,
whether it's distance learning or on-site learning
applications," comments Reno Moccia, Redline executive vice
president of sales and marketing. "Redline is pleased to support
Arlington County's overall
dedication to shared broadband wireless access and to connectivity,
indoors or outdoors -- and we look forward to our continued
relationship."
"Morcom is delighted to provide its expertise in Private LTE and
5G CBRS system design and implementation to solve a real-life
challenge for Arlington County
students and educators," adds Manuel
Ojeda, Morcom founder and chief technology officer. "The
Covid pandemic necessitated a great deal of agility in the design
and implementation of this service. Thanks to the commitment and
focus of the County's leadership, Morcom and Redline were able to
execute this program in record time and within budget."
