FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AT&T
ALASCOM Selects Alvarion's BreezeMAX
for
New
Commercial WIMAX Rollout
Mountain
View, CA, August 6, 2007 — Alvarion Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALVR) today announced a
contract to provide AT&T Alascom with Alvarion’s BreezeMAXTM 2.3 GHz
TDD
equipment as part of AT&T Alascom’s deployment of WiMAX broadband in
Alaska.
AT&T
Alascom today announced the availability of WiMAX-based broadband in select
areas of Juneau. The company plans to announce deployment in additional Alaska
communities in 2008. As part of this deployment, AT&T Alascom selected
Alvarion’s IEEE 802.16e-based WiMAX solution for offering extended broadband
data services in urban, suburban and rural areas alike.
“We
are
proud to be selected by AT&T Alascom,” said Tzvika Friedman, president and
CEO of Alvarion. “This top-tier company’s rigorous requirements and focus on
innovation enable them to continually offer new advanced services, demonstrating
their commitment to customers.”
Alvarion’s
extensively-tested solution supports up to fourth order diversity for delivering
flexible and improved coverage even in difficult terrain, such as the
mountainous and wooded areas common to Alaska. Alvarion’s nomadic
self-install Si CPE is designed to incorporate a patent-pending fast-switching
algorithm with six integrated antennas.
SIM-card
enabled, the Si can be quickly self-provisioned by the user and is available
with a wide variety of options, from multiple POTS interfaces to built-in Wi-Fi.
AT&T Alascom is using a combination of Si CPEs, with the outdoor Pro model
for maximizing cell radius.

new
products, services and technologies; increased competition and its effect on
pricing, spending, third-party relationships and revenues; as well as the
