Alvarion, Hitachi Communication Technologies to Demonstrate Joint Mobile WiMAX Solution

(Business News & Technology News, 1 Apr 2008)

Alvarion Ltd plans to demonstrate its joint Mobile WiMAX solution—tailored to the unique needs of the Japanese market—together with Hitachi Communication Technologies at the CTIA WIRELESS 2008 show in Las Vegas on April 1 to 3, 2008.

Operators can benefit from the following features to be offered by the joint solution:
- All-outdoor solution for reduced installation costs
- Flexible capabilities enabling easy increase of traffic
- Advanced MIMO/Beamforming capabilities for enhanced coverage and capacity
- High-speed packet processing performance
- Low RF power consumption with advanced technologies

Recently, Hitachi was selected by UQ Communications Inc. to provide its access service network gateway for Mobile WiMAX and integrated operation maintenance system, and is expected to provide Japan's first commercial system. Upon their selection by UQC, Hitachi noted that Mobile WiMAX is one of the core technologies for the next generation of high-speed wireless communication service, and will permit the Internet to be accessed from a PC or other communication terminal even while one is traveling. Viewing this opportunity as a springboard, Hitachi is stepping up its plans to global growth with its next-generation high-speed wireless communication business, including its WiMAX base-station business.

"We believe our collaboration with Hitachi delivers a compelling, all-outdoor solution designed to offer advanced capabilities for the 2.5GHz spectrum. Hitachi's selection by UQC unquestionably emphasizes just how well-positioned they are in Japan. Their carrier-grade ASN-GW with our radio capabilities represents the implementation of our OPEN WiMAX best-of-breed strategy, which can serve as a great asset for the upcoming large-scale deployments in Japan," says Tzvika Friedman, President and CEO of Alvarion.
