New Wireless Communications for an Ancient Land
Cement plant in Egypt 's Sinai unwires to get connected
An ancient land gets connected with the latest wireless communication technologies. The Sinai Peninsula in Egypt is a triangle-shaped peninsula lying between the Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea and was the scene for several historic events. It is rich in resources, such as turquoise which was mined in Pharaonic times. However it is a new material needed for modern uses, limestone, which is now being mined to produce cement.
The Sinai Cement Company has a factory located near the city of El-Arish for which it needed an enterprise class communications solution for Internet and voice. However, desert conditions pose some of the most challenging environments on earth to constructing infrastructure: extreme heat and aridity, difficult terrain and long distances.
