Carrier
Deploying Alvarion’s 5.2 GHz System Covering Six Cities
Tel
Aviv, Israel, March 20, 2007—
Alvarion Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALVR), the world’s leading provider of WiMAX and wireless
broadband solutions, today announced that Enforta, the largest broadband
wireless service provider in Russia, has chosen its broadband wireless access
solution to expand its national broadband network to the six cities of Voronezh,
Lipetsk, Penza, Samara, Tula, and Yaroslavl.
Covering
4.5 million residents upon full deployment, the network will operate at 5.2
GHz
and provide feature-rich broadband services at reasonable prices. Alvarion’s
local award-winning partner and authorized distributor, Cedicom, is deploying
the network for Enforta. Upon completion of this network expansion, Enforta
networks will cover twenty four regional capital cities in the country.
“Building
on our past successes, Enforta is bringing modern broadband services to
additional Russian cities using the world’s most popular wireless broadband
system,” said Vladimir Shkvarin, Technical Vice President of Enforta.
“Alvarion’s field-proven solution enables us to offer high
speed data to our corporate and small business customers, while giving them
quality of service and extended coverage. This new project leverages our more
than four year partnership with Alvarion, and we look forward to mutual
opportunities for expanding our broadband service area.”
“As
the
leading wireless broadband service provider, we
are
proud to be selected again by Enforta to play an important role in extending
wireless broadband throughout Russia,” said Rudy Leser, Alvarion’s corporate
vice president of strategy and marketing. “The
growing demand for broadband in Russia together with Enforta’s plans to
deploy
additional cities later this year,
entail
extensive future potential there for both companies.”
