Innovative Technology Enables DBS Operators to Provision Voice, Data,
VOD and Interactive TV Over Existing Infrastructure
New York, NY -- WiNetworks announced today the availability of a
ground-breaking WiMAX-based solution designed to enable Digital
Broadcast Satellite (DBS) operators to leap from their one-way TV
broadcast network to a two-way broadband network able to offer Triple
Play (voice, video, and data) services. The WiNetworks patented Hybrid
WiMAX DVB (HWDV(TM)) technology allows DBS Operators to leverage their
customer premise infrastructure (e.g. dish, existing coax wiring,
existing STB, etc.) to deploy a WiMAX network at a very low cost while
offering a fully integrated triple-play bundle.
WiNetworks is the first company to use the new WiMAX protocol (IEEE
802.16 d/e) to deliver a solution uniquely designed for the DBS
industry. WiMAX is the new broadband wireless standard backed by over
300 telecom technology and service providers. |

"The DBS carriers have recognized the need to expand beyond their
existing satellite infrastructure in order to deliver broadband
triple-play services." states Mr. Effi Atad, CEO, WiNetworks, "Our
innovative solution will do for DBS what HFC did for cable, and will
make DBS operators the third and most effective broadband access channel
to the home. Over time WiMAX ability to deliver fully integrated fixed
and mobile connectivity services will provide DBS carriers with an
advantage over CATV and Telcos."
WiNetworks is using the Intel(R) ProWireless 5116 broadband interface
silicon. WiNetworks is a member of the Intel WiMAX Alliance committed to
develop leading WiMAX products and services.
"The WiNetworks solution is a genuine example of using WiMAX as the
'last mile' solution for bringing high-speed Internet access into homes
and businesses," said Scott Richardson, General Manager, Broadband
Wireless Division from Intel, "This unique application from WiNetworks
unleashes the full potential of the existing last-mile real-estate to
build a low cost WiMAX network where the DBS Service Providers and the
customers can both benefit."
WiNetworks has designed its solution to provide DBS Operators with
economic and functional advantages. In addition to the traditional Voice
and Data services, WiNetworks has developed new applications that
provide the DBS operators with additional sources of potential revenue.
These include: 'always-on' return channel to the existing installed STBs;
local ads insertions; VOD and more.
WiNetworks will present its fully-operational DBS Triple-Play solution
during IBC2005 in Amsterdam.
