WiNetworks Receives First FCC Authorization for Mobile WiMAX(TM) 802.16e Base Station for 3.65 GHz Networks

NEW YORK, November 25/PRNewswire/ -- WiNetworks, a pioneer and leader in the development and integration of WiMAX 802.16e Wave 2 (MIMO) technologies, announced today that it received the first formal FCC authorization for its Mobile WiMAX 802.16e base station for 3.65 GHz networks. The FCC allocates the 3.65 GHz band specifically for wireless broadband to help overcome U.S. broadband service gaps, and federal approval is required for all equipment deployed in this frequency band. The FCC approval is of a particular significance because it is the first certification of its kind for 3.65 GHz Mobile WiMAX 16e (MIMO) base stations.

WiNetworks developed the Win-Max(R) full product line to give network operators cost effective choices in the WiMAX ecosystem. The Win-Max Compact and Pico WiMAX base stations are optimized for indoor & outdoor coverage with the best business case for the service provider. The Win-Max(R) base stations offer a SoC approach based on WiMAX Forum Certified Mobile WiMAX SQN-2130RD. The Compact and Pico base stations are designed for quick and easy installations, using all outdoor fixtures for installations on walls, poles, and towers, and delivering economies of scale for each installation and network by saving site acquisition and installation costs. The Win-Max(R) Pico base station is the best priced base station in the market today supporting the 3.65 GHz Mobile WiMAX standard.

"With our new FCC certification, WiNetworks continues to maintain and develop its leading role in the 3.65 GHz U.S. WiMAX market. The timing of this federal approval is crucial, as continued growth in the 3.65 GHz market is expected and additional deployments are on the way. WiNetworks offers creative and affordable solutions for immediate delivery of wireless broadband with a full range of scalable and high-performance base stations and a variety of CPEs," commented Mr. Effi Atad, CEO of WiNetworks.

The Win-Max(R) product family, including Compact and Pico BST along with mobile, nomadic and fixed CPEs, is commercially available for immediate delivery.
