Airspan Networks, Stutler Technologies Announce Success in 3.65GHz WiMAX Band
(Business News & Technology News, 12 May 2008)
Airspan Networks Inc. and Stutler Technologies have achieved successes in the recently allocated 3.65GHz band in the United States, which was made available to supplement national licensed bands like 2.5GHz.
"We've been partnered with Airspan for years now, leading the industry in sales of 700MHz broadband wireless equipment, for example. For 3.65GHz, regulatory limitations on transmit power restrict solutions that are not sophisticated. Airspan has always led the industry in technology for WiMAX, providing significantly better performance by adding some key differentiating technologies. For other bands, these technologies provide important improvements. For 3.65GHz, they are practically mandatory for successful deployments," says J.J. Stutler, President and CEO of Stutler Technologies. "Our customers are seeing that, and we're pleased to be able to provide them with something a little different than the rest of the pack."
Declan Byrne, Airspan's CMO, agrees. "Stutler is one of the most experienced integrators out there. Furthermore, they've been helping mid western America connect over wireless infrastructure for years using our 700MHz products and have a top notch reputation. Airspan's MicroMAX and mobile HiperMAX Base Stations provide the right mix of performance and economics for the dozens of independent telcos and Wireless ISPs leveraging this new frequency band. The fact that the technology is also the basis of the architecture being developed with Fujitsu for Japan's national mobile rollout is an added plus for operators making purchase decisions."
Airspan has started delivering the quad band USB dongle supporting mobile WiMAX, which will enable customers from all the different operators to roam nationwide across 2.3, 2.5, 3.65 and 5.8GHz networks
