Gartner Names Argela a “Cool Vendor” for Its Femtocell Technology

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Argela, a leading provider of telecom solutions for fixed and mobile operators, today announced that it has been named a “Cool Vendor” by Gartner for its innovative femtocell technology in 2011. In Gartner’s report, “Cool Vendors in Communications Service Provider Infrastructure 2011,” authored by Akshay Sharma and Deborah Kish, Argela is highlighted for its femtocell technology which integrates several technologies: femtocell, IPTV, WiFi/DSL, SIP and ZigBee/Wireless HD, into one device.

The report recognizes companies which offer solutions to Communications Service Providers (CSPs). CSPs, the report concludes, need new services to offer end-users in order to compete with the “over-the-top applications” being provided by Skype, Hulu and other companies. Argela is highlighted for its converged telecom solutions which are based on its femtocell technology.

Argela’s CEO, Mr. Bulent Kaytaz commented, “We appreciate Gartner’s recognition of our femtocell technology. Our technology is a leading solution for operators who want to manage the exponential growth of mobile data traffic. When our latest innovations are added to our core femtocell technology, we are entering the arena of an automated-connected home with many value-added services for telecom subscribers. In this regard, our femtocell products are solutions for both operators and for end-users.”

Argela was one of five vendors included in Gartner’s report. Other companies recognized by Gartner in this report include Astellia (France), Optenet (Spain), Bytemobile (Silicon Valley) and SpiderCloud Wireless (Silicon Valley).
