CTIA: Alvarion Receives First RUS-Funded WiMAX Order

Alvarion Ltd. (ALVR) announced at CTIA it was chosen by Main Street Broadband, a strategic partner of Xiocom Wireless Inc., for deployment of WiMAX networks in its initial RUS (Rural Utilities Service)-funded rural market.

A positive move for both companies, Main Street Broadband has received one of the largest RUS-funded projects in the United States and Alvarion now can deploy its 802.16e BreezeMAX 2300, 2500 and 3650 base stations in a formal RUS funded project. Alvarion has USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Rural Development acceptance and complies with "Buy American" requirements of USDA Rural Utilities Service.

As part of this initiative, Alvarion will deploy its BreezeMAX base station and customer premise equipment (CPE) for the 2.3/2.5/3.65 GHz frequency bands. Alvarion’s BreezeMAX platform is a fourth-generation OFDM radio access network that provides state-of-the-art 4G functionality in one of the industry’s most deployed WiMAX platforms, with commercial deployments around the globe.
