Launches MPOTS Solution for High Density, Cost-Effective Voice
Services; ROI Improvements with Extension of WALKair 1000 Product Line
TEL AVIV, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 10, 2005--Alvarion Ltd., (NASDAQ:ALVR),
the world's leading provider of wireless broadband solutions and
specialized mobile networks, today announced the launch of the MPOTS
extension of its WALKair(TM)1000, featuring high-density POTS (plain
old telephone service) interfaces to offer significant improvements in
price per line. The combination of better economics and quick roll-out
enabled by WALKair's wireless configuration improves carriers'
business models and increases return on investment.
MPOTS supports up to 64 telephone lines in a single customer premises
equipment (CPE) unit. Combined with WALKair's ability to support a
combination of POTS, additional TDM services and other IP services,
carriers benefit by lower capital expenditures, while offering both
traditional telephony and fast Internet access.
Among other enhancements, MPOTS can accommodate up to 9600 POTS ports
per sector in a 28MHz channel. By operating in 3.5 GHz band as well as
in LMDS frequencies, carriers receive several network options with
regard to regulators and spectrum expenses. Battery backup of the
MPOTS CPE qualifies Alvarion's MPOTS solution as the end user's
primary line.
"Alvarion has identified a wide range of applications for MPOTS,
including campus environments, phone supermarkets, business parks, and
multi-dwelling residences," said Rudy Leser, Vice President of
Marketing of Alvarion. "With features that significantly increase
carrier ROI by multiplying subscribers with less equipment, we expect
that MPOTS extension to WALKair will soon be deployed throughout the
world."
MPOTS is an extension of the WALKair(TM)1000 product line, Alvarion's
point-to-multi-point broadband wireless access system for carriers
targeting small and medium enterprises (SMEs), multi-tenant and
multi-dwelling units (MTUs and MDUs), SOHOs, industrial, retail and
residential subscribers. Operating in the 3.5, 10.5 and 26 GHz
frequency bands, WALKair(TM) maximizes data throughput with a total
cell capacity of 256 Mbps in a 28 MHz channel and more than 512 Mbps
in a 56 MHz channel. As a result, a single WALKair(TM) 1000 base
station can support up to 2048 CPEs with peak data burst rates of up
to 4 Mbps.
