BOCA RATON, FL, Apr 02, 2009 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- AIRN | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Airspan Networks Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRN), a leading provider of broadband wireless access networks, announced today the creation of its Interoperability Testing (IOT) Center for Mobile WiMAX(TM). The center, located at the Company's over-the-air demonstration facility in the United Kingdom, will conduct IOT testing on an end-to-end Airspan WiMAX infrastructure in a lab environment.

Several companies have already received the IOT stamp of approval from Airspan, including Intel, Sequans, Fujitsu, USI and Gemtek. This affords operators the assurance that devices supported by these prominent silicon developers and manufactured by these Original Design Manufacturers will deliver on the open ecosystem promise of the WiMAX Forum and its member companies.

The IOT lab will test user devices from other manufacturers to certify seamless operability on an Airspan mobile WiMAX infrastructure network. WiMAX standards and profiles have been created by the WiMAX Forum(TM), to ensure an open ecosystem in which user devices from multiple manufacturers can operate seamlessly on the WiMAX infrastructure of another manufacturer. This initiative ensures that users have a larger choice of end user products, including USB dongles, PC cards, WiMAX enabled notebooks, handsets and other mobile Internet devices.

Airspan will be testing customer premises equipment (CPE) from leading manufacturers to facilitate a rapid adoption of devices into customer networks. The testing will be performed over a range of frequency bands from 2.x-3.x GHz.

Additionally the Center is conducting IOT with a range of core network vendors and has already successfully concluded interoperability with Starent, Bridgewater Systems, Hitachi and others.

"Airspan is substantiating the importance of interoperability between user devices, core networking equipment and infrastructure. All key WiMAX vendors will have to ensure user product interoperability in order to succeed in the WiMAX arena," stated Amit Ancikovsky, Airspan President, Sales and Products. "We must all work together to bolster worldwide WiMAX growth and adoption. I invite vendors to join in this initiative and include their products amongst the Airspan IOT tested and approved catalog."

Airspan will continue IOT testing in the lab, as well as continue to develop state-of-the-art user devices such as its MiMAX USB, the world's only quad-band WiMAX USB dongle.
