Ceragon provides products and services for wireless network management, planning, and maintenance. The company said its technology allows mobile operators to increase efficiency, provide better wireless experience, and remotely control network capacity, as well as achieve more capacity with one-quarter of the energy otherwise required.

"Mobile operators in India face multiple challenges based on the need to address immediate requirements driven by the developing data boom, while also planning for future capacity needs in a dynamic market of rapid subscriber growth and scarce spectrum resources," Ira Palti, president and CEO of Ceragon, said in a statement.

Headquartered in Tel Aviv, with offices throughout Europe, North and South America, Africa and Asia, the company was founded as Giganet Ltd. in 1996 and changed its name to Ceragon Networks Ltd. in September 2000.
