TEL-AVIV, Israel and DUBLIN, Ireland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 2, 2003--New 5.7GHz OFDM network complements existing 2.4GHz network and expands capability and reach of Irish Broadband's offering
Alvarion (NASDAQ: ALVR, news) today announced that Irish Broadband (
http://www.irishbroadband.ie), the first company in Ireland to offer guaranteed broadband connection speeds has expanded its fixed wireless network, again using Alvarion equipment, supplied by integration partner Siemens.
Launched in May 2003, Irish Broadband's original fixed wireless broadband network was built using Alvarion's BreezeACCESS™ equipment, and operates throughout Dublin in the license-free 2.4GHz frequency band.
Following the success of this network, Irish Broadband has expanded its network across the unlicensed 5.7GHz spectrum using Alvarion's new BreezeACCESS VL high-capacity OFDM portfolio.
Irish Broadband's 5.7GHz network has been rolled out alongside its 2.4GHz network. The 5.7GHz base stations are used to feed the 2.4GHz base stations in order to increase the range available.
The network will be expanded to include Derry in Northern Ireland and then to major cities throughout Ireland.
Paul Doody, Managing Director of Irish Broadband, said: "Our fixed wireless network has exceeded the expectations of both ourselves and our customers. The ability to install base stations where demand is highest has enabled us to grow rapidly, whilst keeping our costs low. With the expansion of our network and the use of the latest technology - 5.7GHz networks - we will be able to meet the soaring demand for broadband services in Ireland. As ever, Alvarion has proved to be an invaluable partner - its investment in research and development, and production of equipment which the market is demanding has impressed yet another customer."
Rudy Leser, VP Marketing at Alvarion, added: "Obviously repeat orders are the biggest compliment our customers can pay us. Irish Broadband is an example of how fixed wireless networks can enable alternative operators to rollout networks quickly and generate immediate revenues."
Brendan Martin, Carrier Sales Manager, Siemens adds, "One of the core advantages of Irish Broadband's network is the availability of more bandwidth at a more competitive rate in locations that have been historically under-served."
