Alvarion deploys WiMAX network in the UK

Globes Online

Alvarion has won a contract to supply its BreezeMax platform to UK wireless systems integrator Metranet. Alvarion's platform, which will operate on the 3.3 GHz spectrum, will enable Metranet to provide backhaul for CCTV cameras (closed circuit TV), and traffic junction control throughout the city of Reading, north of London. The size of the deal was not disclosed.

The WiMAX network went live in March 2008 and replaced the existing wired network. Live video from main roads and junctions is streamed back to a central control room, and traffic lights can then be manually controlled via the WiMAX network to improve traffic flow, providing real time travel information to shopping centers, intranet systems and mobile phones.
