Why this procedure was chosen
PBE Europe Ltd is the only supplier capable of providing the required third-level maintenance, repair and technical support services for the Axell repeater estate and Axell Element Manager (AEM) platform, having inherited the associated intellectual property rights, technical knowledge and proprietary expertise following its acquisition of Axell Wireless Ltd.
