Alvarion to Demonstrate
Personal Broadband Services With A Live Showcase of its 4Motion™ Mobile
WiMAX Solution at CTIA Wireless
Alvarion Ltd.
April 4, 2006
4Motion Enables Carriers to
Build Complete Networks For Triple Play Services to Users Anytime,
Anywhere
CTIA Wireless 2006, Las Vegas Nevada, -- Alvarion Ltd., (NASDAQ: ALVR),
the world’s leading provider of wireless broadband solutions and
specialized mobile networks, will be demonstrating personal broadband
services with a live showcase of its new 4Motion solution, the company’s
comprehensive mobile WiMAX solution based on the IEEE 802.16e-2005
standard, at the show which opens tomorrow. 4Motion™ is a complete WiMAX
802.16e-2005 solution portfolio being developed in conjunction with
leading providers of core network and IP technology, terminals and
integration services. Powered by Alvarion’s advanced radio technologies,
the demonstration—featuring dynamic bandwidth allocation to multiple
services and seamless hand offs —offers a glimpse of the future where
mobile users receive bandwidth intensive triple play services anytime,
anywhere.

Called “personal broadband,” this untethered and unbound availability of
broadband will fundamentally change the way people work and play,
similar to how cellular phones have integrated mobile voice and
messaging into everyone’s daily lives in the past decade. Delivering on
Alvarion’s previously announced goal to demonstrate mobile WiMAX
technology in early 2006, the showcase will be at the company’s booth
(#1612) and is open to the public. More information is available
everyday at 14:00 at a seminar on mobile WiMAX in MR-58.
"With a leading position in the pre-WiMAX market, it's no surprise that
Alvarion would be a major force in driving WiMAX development and the
industry as a whole," noted Peter Jarich, principal analyst with Current
Analysis. "Likewise, as the industry begins to coalesce around
802.16e-2005, it's no surprise that Alvarion would again be leading the
charge in pushing the technology with an eye towards fundamentally
impacting the way people live and work."
Leveraging Alvarion’s BreezeMAX, the most widely deployed WiMAX solution
in the world with more than 150 networks in more than 30 countries,
4Motion is a complete end-to-end mobile WiMAX solution incorporating
advanced radio technologies, QoS mechanisms, IP mobility core components
and multimedia subsystems, along with subscriber terminals, an OMC and
backend interfaces. With this combination of software defined radio (SDR),
beam forming, multi-in multi-out (MIMO), dynamic bandwidth allocation,
and scaleable OFDMA technologies, the benefit to service providers is
flexibility in network deployment, greater capacity, better overall
coverage, efficient handling of shared resources, optimized user
throughput by application, and robustness in providing mobility
services. Compliance with 802.16e-2005 standards and a fully
distributed, all-IP architecture means that 4Motion facilitates
operators the flexibility to choose the multi-vendor partners to add
third party IP services, while controlling costs.
“4Motion gives operators the full benefit of our two years of WiMAX
deployments enabling them to start with a small network and evolve over
time from fixed and portable services, to full mobility services, while
also offering current customers a similar ability to augment their
networks,” said Tzvika Friedman, CEO and President of Alvarion. “This
solution offers carriers greater overall capacity and superior coverage,
while having extreme flexibility and robustness in their network.
Equally important, 4Motion’s all-IP core means that it will seamlessly
integrate with other vendors’ network equipment, allowing carriers to
deliver all manner of multimedia services as they develop.”
BreezeMAX is Alvarion’s WiMAX platform, designed from the ground up to
support fixed, nomadic, portable and mobile WiMAX applications. It is
built to support present needs, while enabling service providers to
deploy a scalable and flexible network that is optimized for both
operators and subscribers needs at every stage as the network grows. The
fully commercial version of 4Motion, including standards compliant
BreezeMAX base stations and a variety of Alvarion and third party
systems and subscriber units, is planned for operator trials in the
first half of 2007.
