Alvarion’s major success in commercial WiMAX deployments providing
quality services and a solid business case to dozens of satisfied
operators worldwide. In just two years, BreezeMAX has become the
reference WiMAX product in the market, and now with the Si, we are

services.”
Alvarion’s award-winning WiMAX Certified™ platform is designed from the
ground up according to the IEEE 802.16 standards and is a
third-generation OFDM platform with advanced non-line-of-sight (NLOS)
functionality. Its carrier-class design supports broadband speeds and
quality of service (QoS) to enable carriers to offer quadruple play
broadband services over IP to thousands of subscribers in a single base
station. BreezeMAX is now successfully deployed in over 180
installations in more than 80 countries around the world and is the
radio access base station of the company’s mobile WiMAX solution,
4Motion™.
The BreezeMAX™ Si is a WiMAX Certified™, self installable, all indoor
WiMAX customer premises equipment (CPE) that opens the door for
mass-market deployment of WiMAX services everywhere. This compact CPE
uses advanced radio technology for improved indoor penetration and NLOS
operation, enables simple end user plug and play installation, and paves
the way for nomadic and portable services. By eliminating professional
installation, the Si enables carriers to broaden their distribution
channels to best fit their business models, and when combined with
outdoor CPEs, optimizes their network planning by trading-off coverage,
capacity and installation costs.
