Alvarion Accelerates Its Push Into WiMAX Broadband Mobility Market Publication date: Friday, 07 January 2005 TEL AVIV, Israel, January 6, 2005 --- Alvarion Ltd. (NASDAQ:ALVR), the world’s leading provider of wireless broadband solutions and supplier of specialized mobile networks, today announced the development of a mobile WiMAX solution based on the 802.16e standard with the first demonstration system expected within a year. The target launch in 2006 is intended to coincide with the availability of WiMAX-enabled devices such as laptops and PDAs that utilize chips currently under development. "We are delighted to see Alvarion moving aggressively to realize the full potential of WiMAX technology," said Sean Maloney, Intel executive vice president and general manager of the Intel Communications Group. "Thanks to the efforts of the global WiMAX community, this standard for both fixed and mobile high-speed broadband connectivity continues to gain momentum." Mobile WiMAX, as defined in the 802.16e standard, will offer open, scalable and cost-effective mobile data solutions that deliver true broadband services of several Mbps per subscriber or more with full quality of service (QoS) capabilities that enable applications such as VoIP. Once the normal multi-year trial and testing phase is over, the market is expected to quickly become a multi-billion opportunity. “Mobile broadband is a huge market opportunity for the whole telecom industry, and we have taken several high-profile actions to ensure that we extend our leadership in fixed broadband wireless solutions into that space,” said Zvi Slonimsky, CEO of Alvarion. “We have the major building blocks of this solution in-house already, with our many years of experience designing and deploying OFDM systems, our early and long involvement with the WiMAX Forum™, and certain core mobile technologies and know-how resulting from our recent acquisition of specialized mobile systems provider interWAVE.” As part of being a leader in providing broadband mobile solutions, Alvarion also has established a dedicated business unit to focus on defining the Company’s strategic direction and position in this market. Seven year Alvarion veteran, Zvika Harnik, former Executive Vice President and head of R&D, will lead this new unit as its President and his team will draw on the capabilities of the rest of the organization to speed product development and focus on establishing the necessary relationships with strategic partners and potential customers.
