SAN DIEGO, CA and ALKHOBAR, SAUDI ARABIA--(Marketwired - Jul 8, 2014) - LightPointe, the leading manufacturer of Gigabit capacity outdoor point-to-point data bridges, announced that the company has signed a reseller agreement with Omarco, a provider of information technology and communications services in Saudi Arabia.

"We are pleased that Omarco has chosen to add LightPointe's wireless products to their offering," said John Taylor, vice president of sales for LightPointe. "Omarco is emerging as a major player in IT products and services, such as network connectivity solutions, big data infrastructure, cloud computing, and medical IT systems.

LightPointe's Free Space Optics laser bridges and E-band backhaul radios are increasingly being deployed by data centers, financial institutions, school campuses, businesses, hospitals, and 4G/mobile telecommunications carriers to meet the massive demand for data bandwidth, and to replace slower fiber connections and leased lines.
