Company Shows Power of New 4Motion™ Mobile WiMAX Solution at WiMAX
Forum™ PlugFest
Frederick, MD, WiMAX Forum PlugFest -- Alvarion Ltd. (NASDAQ:ALVR), the
world’s leading provider of wireless broadband solutions and specialized
mobile networks, today announced that its BreezeMAX system is streaming
concurrent multimedia content to multiple third party, end-user devices
showing robust quality-of-service, which ultimately enables broadband
mobile voice, video, and data services over a single connection. |

Employing IEEE 802.16e
technology, the company is also demonstrating the power of its new
4Motion WiMAX solution, enabled by its BreezeMAX base stations, at the
WiMAX Forum PlugFest. The WiMAX Forum PlugFest, being held at Bechtel
laboratories in Frederick, Maryland this week, is an opportunity for
vendors to prove 802.16e interoperability of chips, systems, and end
user devices for mobile WiMAX services before entering the official
certification labs.
“The WiMAX Forum PlugFest is helping to reduce customer confusion and
what it means to be WiMAX Forum Certified,” said Adlane Fellah, CEO and
founder of Maravedis, Inc. “It is an important next step in resolving
802.16e interoperability between vendor equipments. As the market leader
in this space, in terms of market share and deployments, Alvarion is in
a great position to deliver interoperable services with its 4Motion
solution.”
Vendors are considered to be interoperable after demonstrating the
ability to exchange data packets with two or more other vendors.
Equipment interoperability is a precursor to a mass market for WiMAX
devices and services providing compelling economics to service providers
and end users.
“Interoperability is critical for vendors of WiMAX solutions,” said Rudy
Leser, Alvarion's corporate vice president strategy and marketing.
“Achieving this technology breakthrough, along with our ongoing
partnerships and strategic trials surrounding 802.16e, shows our
continuing market leadership in mobile WiMAX systems. And delivering
multimedia content over WiMAX, while working towards WiMAX Forum
certification, moves us ever closer to enabling the provision of
Personal Broadband services worldwide.”
Alvarion now has more than 180 BreezeMAX deployments worldwide and has
already performed successful interoperability tests with various mobile
end user devices, including in an Alvarion-led private plugfest held
this past June.
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. Employing software defined radio (SDR),
beam forming, multi-in multi-out (MIMO), dynamic bandwidth allocation,
and scaleable OFDMA technologies, 4Motion and BreezeMAX offer service
providers greater coverage, capacity, and flexibility in their mobile
WiMAX deployments along with improved economics.
