Currently in field trials, the BreezeMAX 3600 is expected to be commercially available in the second quarter of this year.

“Broadening our BreezeMAX product line to new frequencies is part of our ongoing commitment to enable carriers everywhere to leverage all available spectrum for WiMAX services,” said Rudy Leser, Vice President of Marketing of Alvarion. “Our intimate carrier relationships combined with our vast local knowledge in markets throughout the world means we can anticipate the growing demand for WiMAX services and address this demand with the appropriate product. Being the first to offer a WiMAX product in 3.6 GHz is evidence of our continued leadership of the WiMAX market and dedication to bringing ‘personal broadband’ to everyone, everywhere.”
