Innovative Carriers Demonstrate Pan European WiMAX Services

February 13, 2006

While activity bustles on the show floor at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, three innovative carriers, who currently operate commercial WiMAX networks using Alvarion's BreezeMAX system, will be demonstrating the delivery of pan European multimedia services over wireless broadband. Iberbanda (Spain), Irish Broadband (Ireland) and MobileCity (Sweden) -- all of whom have also deployed the BreezeMAX PRO CPE using the Intel WiMAX chip -- are linking up their networks to give a glimpse of WiMAX services to press and government authorities.

"This is another significant WiMAX milestone for Alvarion as the first vendor to support continent-wide commercial WiMAX services," said Tzvika Friedman, CEO and President of Alvarion. "Participants will witness first hand the quality of service, reliability, and product quality that has made BreezeMAX the WiMAX platform of choice in more than 150 deployments worldwide. 'Broadband everywhere' services enabled by WiMAX will improve everyone's lifestyles and productivity, and this demonstration is the start of that reality and part of our all IP, Personal Broadband vision for the telecommunications industry going forward."
