BreezeACCESS Point to Point Solution For the 5 GHz Band Revolutionizes Deployment of Backhaul, Access, and LAN Extension Networks

 
Robust OFDM System Delivers Speeds up to 72 Mbps in Non Line-of-Sight Conditions 
 
Tel-Aviv, Israel, 24 February, 2003 – Alvarion, Ltd.(NASDAQ;ALVR), a leading provider of wireless broadband solutions worldwide, today announced the commercial availability of its BreezeACCESS 5 GHz point to point system offering carriers, wireless internet service providers (ISPs), and enterprises the ability to affordably increase the bandwidth of their point to point networks and economically extend wireless links throughout their operating environments. Part of the field-proven BreezeACCESS family, the BreezeACCESS LB operates in the license exempt band from 5.725 to 5.825 GHz and leverages the excellent multi-path resistant capabilities of OFDM technology. Using advanced OFDM algorithms, the solution achieves net link capacities greater than a leased DS3 (45Mbps) connection, and connect sites beyond 30 miles apart in conditions that would prevent line-of-sight (LOS) products from functioning. Accordingly, operators, service providers, and enterprise customers can now significantly increase their network capacity while reducing capital and operational expenditures for their backhaul, access, and LAN extension applications that previously required them to acquire frequency, deploy high cost radio links, and/or lease expensive wire-line services due to poor LOS conditions.

“We are pleased to announce another extension to our field-proven BreezeACCESS family of products,” said Tzvika Friedman, President & COO of Alvarion Ltd. “Alvarion’s goal has always been to provide comprehensive, total system solutions for our customers. The BreezeACCESS LB was designed as a high-performance replacement for today’s low-throughput Point-to-Point radio links, whose deployment requires costly license fees and network interfaces. It gives carriers, ISPs, and enterprises a high-speed, low-cost replacement for the expensive leased lines they use to hook up small offices (SOHOs), small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), local branch offices, factories, and warehouses to the core infrastructure.

“By giving our customers a comprehensive solution to their backhauling needs, we reinforce our positioning as the industry’s trusted ‘One Stop Shop,’ and open up a new path of potential revenues for Alvarion. We look forward to a warm reception for this needed product, and continue our work on exciting new BreezeACCESS™ extensions.” About Alvarion
