ISP Now Using BreezeACCESS® VL
to Provide Corporate, Residential Users with Broadband Internet
Tel Aviv, Israel -- Alvarion Ltd. (NASDAQ:ALVR), the
world’s leading provider of wireless broadband solutions and specialized
mobile networks, today announced that Inter-Connect, an ISP and major
broadband provider in the Democratic Republic of Congo, is improving and
expanding its broadband wireless network with Alvarion’s BreezeACCESS VL
system. Their existing network, which operates in central Kinshasa, was
deployed using Alvarion’s earlier generation BreezeACCESS II system in
2.4 GHz. By building the new network in the license exempt frequency of
5.4 GHz and adding additional equipment to cover more of the capital
city, Inter-Connect will enjoy improved capacity and provide more
bandwidth for higher quality data and voice services to more corporate
and residential subscribers.

“We have been very pleased with both the cost effectiveness and
reliability of our Alvarion wireless broadband network, and so are
excited to be moving to a next generation system with higher capacity
enabling us to provide both data and voice services to more users,” said
Mr. Christian Callens, President of Inter-Connect. “Demand for broadband
services has grown tremendously in our region of the world, and wireless
broadband is the most cost-effective way for us to provide high quality
services to these users.”
BreezeACCESS VL’s enhanced features of non-line-of-sight operation,
encryption, and quality of service support combined with its high
capacity and extended reach of more than 20 kilometers allows carriers,
mobile operators, ISPs, enterprises and others to enjoy the benefits of
broadband services in license exempt frequencies. With advanced features
such as 10MHz channel spacing, automatic clear channel selection, and a
built-in spectrum analyzer to monitor channel noise, BreezeACCESS VL
also enables greater flexibility in frequency planning and system
deployment.
“BreezeACCESS VL’s advanced features, compelling economics, and
deployment flexibility means that carriers can offer the highest quality
of broadband services today in unlicensed spectrum bands,” said Tzvika
Friedman, CEO and President of Alvarion. “Inter-Connect’s well conceived
plan to meet the growing demand for broadband in Congo by expanding
their current broadband wireless network means they will benefit from
the top performance and excellent business case that VL offers in 5GHz.”
