Siemens Chooses Alvarion's BreezeMAX(TM) Platform
Tel-Aviv, Israel, July 14, 2004 - Alvarion Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALVR) today announced
that Siemens Information and Communication Networks has selected Alvarion as
supplier for the BreezeMAX 3500 solution - the first product Alvarion introduced
as part of its recently launched WiMAX Platform. The BreezeMAX platform is a
carrier-class IEEE 802.16/HiperMAN-compliant system with fast ROI for the
residential and business wireless DSL, MDU/MTU, hotspot backhauling and home
networking markets.
"The agreement with Siemens has been a cornerstone of our success, and we are
proud to be selected by Siemens Information and Communication to provide our
BreezeMAX solution during this exciting period for the wireless broadband
industry," said Zvi Slonimsky, CEO of Alvarion.
The BreezeMAX platform is a high-performance broadband
wireless solution built from the ground up based on the IEEE 802.16/ETSI
HiperMAN standards and WiMAX Forum profiles. The culmination of Alvarion's
decade of BWA technological leadership, its founding role in the WiMAX Forum,
and its WiMAX development partnership with Intel, the BreezeMAX platform
incorporates core wireless innovations and leverages Alvarion's ten-plus years
of experience deploying OFDM systems in commercial broadband wireless access
(BWA) networks. It is a carrier-class platform that delivers a host of high
bandwidth applications from residential to business, MDU/MTU, hotspot
backhauling and home networking. The BreezeMAX platform is designed to support
WiMAX certified CPEs, which will incorporate the Intel WiMAX chip set as they
become available in the market.
