Alvarion to Showcase Accton Wireless Broadband End User WiMAX Devices at WiMAX World

(Product News, 30 Sep 2008)

Alvarion Ltd will showcase Accton Wireless Broadband's (AWB) new WiMAX product portfolio at WiMAX World, Chicago, happening October 1-2. AWB's end-user WiMAX devices, now offered as part of Alvarion's OPEN WiMAX ecosystem, represent an important milestone in the companies' strong partnership and further highlight Alvarion's mature and expanding ecosystem.

The display of WiMAX devices will include CPEs, PC cards and USB adapters:
- BreezeMAX Si/WiMAX 802.16e Indoor CPE RG230 supports: 2.3GHz, 2.5GHz, 3.5GHz frequency bands; MIMO; all-in-one gateway integrated four data ports, two voice ports and 802.11b/g Wi-Fi gateway; full non-line-of-sight deployment, and more.

- BreezeMAX Pro/WiMAX 802.16e Outdoor CPE OD200 supports: 2.3GHz, 2.5GHz, 3.5GHz frequency bands; MIMO; separate outdoor and indoor unit performing as a WiMAX modem and LAN gateway respectively, and connects to each other via PoE, and more.

- WiMAX 802.16e USB Adapter US210 supports: 2.3GHz, 2.5GHz, 3.5GHz frequency bands; MIMO; USB 2.0 host interface, and more.

- BreezeMAX PC Card/WiMAX 802.16e PC Card PC200 supports: 2.3GHz, 2.5GHz, 3.5GHz frequency bands; MIMO; CardBus host interface, and more.

Alvarion has already accomplished advanced interoperability with AWB devices. AWB's PC Cards are marketed and sold by one of Alvarion's customers DigitalBridge Communications (DBC) in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where DBC deployed a Mobile WiMAX network using Alvarion's complete 4Motion solution. DBC offers a true mobile Internet service using Alvarion's WiMAX Forum Certified BreezeMAX 2500 base station with mobility features such as handoff.

Alvarion's OPEN WiMAX strategy aims to create a standard-based ecosystem of best-in-class vendors so operators can cost-effectively build end-to-end solutions. Through this strategy, mass market devices can be sourced directly from the ecosystem companies. The introduction of AWB devices is an important step in this direction.
