January 22, 2008 — Alvarion Ltd., the world’s leading provider of WiMAX™ and wireless broadband solutions, today announced that TDS, a ranking national telecommunications provider has launched advanced broadband services using its IEEE 802.16e 4Motion™ solution at the 2.5 GHz frequency band.
”With both our residential and business customers, we are sensitive to our responsibility as a primary voice provider to our communities,” said Lisa Cvengros, executive vice president and CTO of TDS. “Using VoIP to provide critical primary voice requires both reliability and quality. The challenge is compounded by bundling data and voice in the same pipe.
Alvarion’s Mobile WiMAX™ solution has reliability for critical services like primary voice, as well as offering excellent quality of service, and enables us to create multiple unique service profiles and prioritizations per customer.”
“With the QoS capabilities of 4Motion, TDS is able to bundle primary voice and data, a strong indication of our technology superiority,” remarked Greg Daily, president of Alvarion, Inc. “In fact, this deployment exceeded expectations because our professional services team was able to accomplish this with the indoor Si, even with terrain like Madison.”
Voice services are one of the multiple services enabled through Alvarion’s Mobile WiMAX solution. With its award-winning BreezeMAXTM as its radio access network (RAN), 4Motion supports up to eight customizable service profiles per subscriber, granting TDS the ability to tailor bundled double play service packages and apply varying levels of traffic classification and priority at both the subscriber and network levels.
TDS’s WiMAX network deploys both self-install (Si) and outdoor-mounted subscriber terminals that connect to Alvarion’s base stations, which implement STC (space-time coding) and MRC (maximum radio combining) 4th order diversity.
The local terrain is characterized by rolling hillsides and extensive tree coverage. In the initial planning stage, TDS did not intend to use the Si indoor subscriber out of concern that the terrain obstacles might prevent reliable connections for primary voice. However, leveraging the combination of the 4th order diversity base stations and the patent-pending advanced antenna technology in the Si subscriber terminal, strong and reliable link budgets were achieved to enable use of the Si in almost 30% of the customer base.
Snip
The stock needs fo clos above the resistance at $9.90 in order to get off from the DT coming from its Oct H at $15.21 If it can get back to the $15 level it would be a 100% gain from present levels. Will see if it can keep support at the $7 level, but with the present market's condition it is too soon to tell.<g>
