Towerstream deploys BreezeMAX 3650 solution from Alvarion

Oct 03, 2008 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- ALVR | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Towerstream, a US-based fixed WiMAX service provider, has announced that it is now delivering WiMAX service to businesses in downtown Chicago using the 802.16e BreezeMAX 3650 solution from Alvarion, an Israel-based wireless broadband systems provider.

According to Alvarion, the addition of its mobile WiMAX gear provides Towerstream with non-line-of-sight capabilities. As a result, the company can now offer its high-speed, wireless broadband service to additional businesses in downtown Chicago that did not previously have line-of-sight to a Towerstream point of presence.

Greg Daily, president of Alvarion, said: "By adding mobile WiMAX equipment to its network in Chicago, Towerstream continues to demonstrate leadership in the quickly evolving wireless broadband market. Alvarion's equipment enables Towerstream to maximize WiMAX's potential in terms of cost, coverage and enhanced services."
