(Business News & Technology News, 20 Apr 2007)

Alvarion Ltd, one of the world's leading provider of WiMAX and wireless broadband solutions, has showcased its Mobile WiMAX services based on its 4Motion solution at the recent Intel Developer Forum in Beijing. The two companies are also cooperating on WiMAX interoperability testing for mobile WiMAX with Alvarion's 16e-based radio access network (RAN).

Alvarion's OPEN WiMAX 4Motion solution using MIMO Matrix B technology is expected to almost double the bandwidth capacity, reducing wireless infrastructure expenditures for operators.

MIMO Matrix B is a key feature in the WiMAX Forum Mobile WiMAX Wave 2 specifications and essential for supporting video and other bandwidth demanding applications. Alvarion's IEEE 802.16 compliant BreezeMAXTM system together with Intel-based chipset mobile WiMAX Express Card for 2.5GHz can provide a compelling offering for operators.

Designed as open, standard, and interoperable, OPEN WiMAX is a complete ecosystem that encompasses network equipment, consumer electronics, service offerings, and even the end-users' experience. OPEN WiMAX is the ecosystem of partners behind Alvarion's highly scalable 4Motion solution, which combines BreezeMAX and best of breed systems to create an operator-centric network solution for WiMAX.

"The demonstration of enhanced MIMO and the available capacity for high performance personal broadband services further proves Alvarion's leadership in WiMAX," said Tzvika Friedman, President and CEO, Alvarion. "We are proud of our long-standing role with Intel in promoting the WiMAX revolution and believe that it will enable operators to offer innovative WiMAX services."

"The mobile WiMAX services based on Alvarion's 4Motion solution with enhanced MIMO technology, coupled with Intel's WiMAX technology showcased today, is proof of the performance and bandwidth capacity of mobile WiMAX," said Sriram Viswanathan VP, Intel Capital and General Manager of WiMAX Program Office. "Our strong and ongoing relationship with Alvarion is helping to broadly demonstrate performance of WiMAX technology to the industry."
