Alvarion Announces BreezeACCESS V For The 5GHz Bands

Once Again, Alvarion Expands The Range Of Options For Deploying Cost-Effective Fixed Wireless Networks
 
Tel – Aviv, Israel, July 15, 2002 – Alvarion Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALVR), a leading provider of Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) solutions, today announced the commercial availability of BreezeACCESS™ V, its latest addition to the industry-leading BreezeACCESS™ family of fixed wireless network solutions. The new solution allows operators to offer all of BreezeACCESS’s mature and field-proven features and services – including advanced managed data, VoIP, and backhaul services- over the 5GHz frequency bands.

Commenting on the announcement, Rudy Leser, Vice President Marketing of Alvarion, said, “Alvarion’s aim has always been to give operators the broadest possible range of solutions for deploying high-performance fixed wireless networks. Our new BreezeACCESS V is an exciting addition that brings important new features to the portfolio, and opens up a variety of application possibilities. As with all our solutions, the BreezeACCESS V makes it easy for operators to set up new infrastructure and to quickly begin offering revenue-generating services. The new system is a full-featured solution for regions where ISM band regulations apply such as in Latin America, Africa, Asia, Central Europe and in the USA and where the lower 5GHz bands are available such as in the USA, Western and Eastern Europe. In addition, BreezeACCESS V is an ideal network supplement in other regions where unlicensed 2.4GHz bands are heavily congested.”

BreezeACCESS V leverages the field-tested infrastructure of Alvarion’s BreezeACCESS family to provide top-quality data and voice services and secure VPN services in two new frequency ranges: 5.725GHz – 5.875GHz, and 5.15GHz – 5.35GHz. Benefiting from system architecture that has been proven in thousands of BreezeACCESS II and XL deployments, BreezeACCESS V stands on its own as a full-featured fixed wireless infrastructure, and/or can be used as a backhauling solution for 2.4GHz networks. Making its value proposition even more compelling, BreezeACCESS V can be co-located with BreezeACCESS II, leveraging existing investments in towers, rooftop rights, etc.

Mr. Leser added, “By expanding the options available for configuring a fixed wireless network, the BreezeACCESS V strengthens an already attractive BreezeACCESS business case. We are pleased to introduce our second 5GHz product to the market this year and remain committed to continue bringing value to our customers with additional product offerings in the 5GHz bands, together with enhancements to our leading technology.”
