We live in a hyper-dynamic world where high-speed Internet access is seen as a basic necessity like running water and electricity. In certain rural regions, there may be less than one person per square mile or kilometer who require Internet access, making the cost of running wire or fiber connections economically unfeasible. Even in urban areas, there may be “black spots” where wire-based broadband is unavailable and commercial ISPs have no business case to invest in the necessary infrastructure.

This so-called “digital divide” deprives rural and underserved urban residents of access to educational and business opportunities that will help them find their place in the workforce of the 21st century.

Alvarion’s wireless broadband solutions help service providers cost-effectively build 21st century broadband networks in rural or metropolitan areas that deliver anytime, anywhere access to voice, video and data.

Use Alvarion solutions to:

• Rapidly deploy and roll-out services without trenching and digging
• Grow your network as your business grows
• Offer your customers a wide variety of CPEs or end-user devices that meet their needs and budgets
• Effectively support voice, data and video with quality of service
• Deliver connectivity in Non-Line-of-Site and adverse weather conditions
• Benefit from the potentially lower CAPEX and OPEX of wireless technology

Low Cost, Rapid Deployment
Roll out broadband service and offload congested data traffic without expensive digging, trenching or running cables.

Digital Inclusion
Offer low-cost or no-cost Internet access and VoIP to students and families from underserved residential areas. Supply advanced Internet services to areas that are often overlooked or avoided by commercial Internet service providers due to potentially lower ROI.

Multi-Band Access
Simultaneous support for the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands lets you provide no-cost or revenue-generating access services for the growing use of the 5 GHz spectrum by handheld devices and laptops.

24 x 7 x 365, All-Weather Performance
Whether used for VoIP, videoconferencing or Internet access, your business demands maximum uptime. Alvarion wireless broadband solutions provide all-weather performance with maximum uptime—even on Mt. Everest.

Quality of Service
Quality of service (QoS) ensures that each type of traffic on your wireless broadband network receives the bandwidth it needs. Video feeds are clear and readable while VoIP and Internet access meet the expectations of users.

Extended Coverage and NLOS Operation
Alvarion solutions use beamforming and 3x3:3 MIMO technologies to deliver up to three times the coverage of alternative solutions, even in Non-Line-of-Site (NLOS) conditions.

Fast Return On Investment
May provide up to 50% savings in CAPEX and OPEX with fewer sites per square mile/kilometer, higher network reliability, and enhanced quality of service.
