FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Emtel
chooses Alvarion’s solution for WiMAX network
deployment
in Mauritius
Alvarion’s
BreezeMAX to Provide Extended Coverage to Major
Cities
Tel
Aviv, Israel, August 28, 2007— Alvarion Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALVR), the
world’s leading provider of WiMAX and wireless broadband solutions, today
announced that Emtel, a leading mobile operator, has chosen its BreezeMAXTM solution
for a
WiMAX network deployment in Mauritius. The new network is planned to provide
extended data services to both corporate and residential users starting in
the
major cities and eventually the entire island.
“We
are
proud to bring yet another technology – WiMAX, as a first to the island of
Mauritius using Alvarion’s solution,” said Shyam Roy, CEO of Emtel. “Alvarion
has extensive WiMAX expertise and experience in deploying networks in any
location around the world. We believe that Alvarion is the right vendor for
enabling our customers to receive high quality services quickly and
easily.”
Alvarion’s
award-winning BreezeMAX 3.5 GHz will enable Emtel to offer its subscribers
greater coverage and increased capacity. As part of this deployment of primary
broadband services, Emtel also plans to use Alvarion’s BreezeMAX PRO, and
BreezeMAX Si. Eliminating professional installation, Si enables carriers to
broaden their distribution channels to best fit their business models, and
when
combined with outdoor CPEs, optimizes their network planning by trading-off
coverage, capacity and installation costs.
“We
are
pleased that Emtel selected us for their first WiMAX network deployment in
Mauritius,” said Tzvika Friedman, CEO and President of Alvarion. “Emtel joins
the many other operators around the world deploying the most popular WiMAX
system, offering business and residential users the advantages of high-speed,
high quality wireless broadband services.”
