Alvarion® Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALVR), a
provider of optimized wireless broadband solutions addressing the
connectivity, coverage and capacity challenges of public and private
networks, today announced a new indoor Wi-Fi access point, the
WBSn-2450-I for indoor carrier-grade Wi-Fi connectivity. This new access
point is built with similar advanced Wi-Fi technology as the
field-proven WBSn outdoor base stations, now enabling carriers and
service providers to implement a powerful Wi-Fi solution indoors and
outdoors.
With 80% of wireless users consuming large volumes of data indoors,
operators are faced with the pressing need to improve indoor coverage.
Alvarion’s indoor WBSn-2450-I
access point is suited for large, crowded, indoor venues where data
consumption on laptops, smartphones and tablets is in high demand.
Operators can deliver the top range and capacity available while
maintaining a high Quality of Experience (QoE) to users inside malls,
hotels, airports, campuses, large retail stores and other public venues.
“This product is built specifically for our customers who need to keep
up with indoor data challenges, while maintaining a high quality user
experience,” stated Mr. Ulik Broida, Vice President of Products at
Alvarion. “Our customers are looking for end-to-end coverage and high
performance solutions. We were able to design this product with the same
technological edge as our outdoor products which are widely used for hot
zone projects worldwide. The WBSn-2450-I gives operators a high quality
Wi-Fi access point that easily integrates with their core network, while
expanding their service offering.”
The WBSn-2450-I is based on Alvarion’s two-way spatially adaptive
Beamforming 802.11n, 3x3 MIMO with three spatial data streams and
powerful support of 2.4 and 5 GHz radios allowing access to existing
Wi-Fi devices as well as to new devices being released now with 5 GHz
support such as Blackberry, iPads and new laptop models. WBSn-2450-I
includes our interference immunity suite as in the field-proven outdoor WBSn
models. Simultaneous radios allow operators the flexibility to use both
frequency bands for customer access and the 5 GHz radio for backhauling
the large amounts of data that cause network congestion.
WBSn-2450-I is in-line with the Wi-Fi Passpoint™ program for seamless
Wi-Fi access in hotspots and Wi-Fi roaming. The WBSn-2450-I includes a
rich set of networking features for core integration into fixed and
cellular networks, such as the RADIUS interface and the built-in Access
Controller. This ensures that carriers and service providers are able to
deploy their wireless networks quickly and effectively.
The WBSn-2450-I will be available in Q4 2012.
