SR Telecom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SR Telecom TSX: OCX is a broadband wireless systems manufacturer headquartered in Montreal, Canada and present in over 130 countries around the world. Established in 1981, SR Telecom provides urban and rural telecommunications providers with wireless systems delivering voice, data and multimedia services.
As almost all large corporations, SR Telecom has gained much of its product line through acquisitions and mergers, such as acquisition of Lucent broadband wireless product lines in 2001 and the acquisition of Netro Corp. in 2003. Netro had previously bought out from AT&T the ambitious (yet commercially disastrous) Project Angel product, the first to use advanced technologies such as ODFM and Space-time coding for data and packetized voice services. The Angel product exists to this day, albeit renamed as Symmetry One. A WiMAX-based upgrade has been launched, baptized as Symmetry MX.
