Multimedia WiMAX Applications
Being Demonstrated During 3GSM by Three Carriers with Commercial
BreezeMAX™ Networks
Barcelona, Spain -- While activity bustles on the show floor at the
3GSM World Congress here, three innovative carriers, who currently
operate commercial WiMAX networks using Alvarion’s (NASDAQ: ALVR)
BreezeMAX system, will be demonstrating the delivery of pan European
multimedia services over wireless broadband. Iberbanda (Spain), Irish
Broadband (Ireland) and MobileCity (Sweden)—all of whom have also
deployed the BreezeMAX PRO CPE using the Intel WiMAX chip—are linking up
their networks to give a glimpse of WiMAX services to press and
government authorities. The demonstration will be held in the Pueblo

“This is another significant WiMAX milestone for Alvarion as the first
vendor to support continent-wide commercial WiMAX services,” said Tzvika
Friedman, CEO and President of Alvarion. “Participants will witness
first hand the quality of service, reliability, and product quality that
has made BreezeMAX the WiMAX platform of choice in more than 150
deployments worldwide. ‘Broadband everywhere’ services enabled by WiMAX
will improve everyone’s lifestyles and productivity, and this
demonstration is the start of that reality and part of our all IP,
Personal Broadband vision for the telecommunications industry going
forward.”
BreezeMAX, Alvarion’s WiMAX platform, was designed from the ground up
according to the IEEE 802.16 standards and uses OFDM technology for
advanced non-line-of-sight (NLOS) functionality. Its carrier-class
design supports broadband speeds and quality of service (QoS) to enable
carriers to offer triple play broadband services to thousands of
subscribers in a single base station. Since its launch in mid-2004,
BreezeMAX has been successfully deployed in over 150 installations in
more than 30 countries around the world.
Participating in the 3GSM World Congress being held February 13-16,
2006, in Barcelona, Spain, Alvarion’s booth is located in Hall 2
(#F10a).
