WiMAX (News - Alert) and wireless broadband solutions provider Alvarion Ltd. has announced that its new BreezeMAX Macro Outdoor base station has received WiMAX Forum certification for both 2.5 GHz and 3.5 GHz frequency bands.
 
A compact carrier-class product, the BreezeMAX Macro Outdoor base station supports advanced mobility features such as handoffs, HARQ, Re-use 1 and 4x4 RF diversity. The base station is integrated into Alvarion’s (News - Alert) end-to-end 4Motion Mobile WiMAX solution. It optimizes the installation space with a small lightweight form-factor that does away with the need of an outdoor enclosure or cabinet. An environmentally friendly weatherized system, the new product eliminates the need for air-conditioning, even while operating in extreme weather conditions.
 
“WiMAX Forum Certified products are the backbone to creating an open, interoperable network,” Ron Resnick (News - Alert), president and chairman of the WiMAX Forum, said. “With 504 deployments in 145 countries, WiMAX is the leading 4G technology today delivering on the promise of affordable, multi-megabit broadband worldwide.”
 
“Achieving the certification for outdoor products shows our versatility in bringing customized solutions to the market to the benefit of our customers,” Tzvika Friedman (News - Alert), president and CEO of Alvarion, said, adding that the WiMAX Forum certification program continues to enhance the WiMAX ecosystem.
 
“This achievement reiterates Alvarion’s commitment to be an innovative, flexible and customer-oriented company and is another important milestone in our Open WiMAX strategy,” Friedman added.
 
The largest WiMAX pure-player, Alvarion boasts the broadest WiMAX customer base of over 250 commercial deployments around the world. The company caters to its customers through its OPEN (News - Alert) WiMAX strategy, superior IP and OFDMA know-how, and ability to deploy end-to-end turnkey WiMAX projects.
 
Additionally, Alvarion Ltd. has announced that its BreezeMAX platform for the 3.65 GHz frequency band received USDA Rural Development acceptance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service.
