Reducing Deployment Costs
WiMAX World 2007
Chicago, IL -- MobileAccess,
the foremost enterprise wireless innovator, today announced that its
award-winning, multi-service in-building wireless solution is now WiMAX-ready
with a MIMO product introduction. The innovative solution aims to change
the economics of WiMAX and spur early adoption by providing the highest
business-quality indoor WiMAX performance and reducing deployment costs
by up to 50 percent. The first in-building WiMAX solution of its kind,
the MobileAccess WiMAX module seamlessly integrates with the company’s
Universal Wireless Network to provide a plug-and-play solution that
delivers WiMAX services over existing MobileAccess deployments. At the
same time, it is well suited for the thousands of deployments planned by
Mobile WiMAX operators around the world. |

Mobile WiMAX will enable an array of new applications that will
transform business. As users prepare for its availability, MobileAccess
will meet their expectations of ubiquitous high-quality service by
maintaining consistently strong coverage throughout public venues and
other large buildings such as airports, casinos, hospitals, hotels,
office buildings, shopping malls and sports stadiums. The newly enhanced
Universal Wireless Network solution overcomes the physical limitations
of conventional building infrastructures and provides highly-scalable,
high-speed access to a variety of state-of-the-art applications enabled
by Mobile WiMAX, including localized personal information alerts,
streaming audio/videoconferencing, content on demand and advanced mobile
commerce.
“The focus on WiMAX up to now has been on fixed solutions that provide
only last mile connectivity to the home,” said Cathy Zatloukal, CEO of
MobileAccess. “However, carriers have made great strides toward rolling
out Mobile WiMAX. Our new solution will be instrumental in bringing the
services inside buildings because it eliminates the need for customers
to install a cabled infrastructure dedicated to supporting WiMAX. With
our Universal Wireless Network, they can tap the potential of 4G speeds
and services when and where they will need it.”
The new solution enables existing MobileAccess customers to seamlessly
add the Mobile WiMAX module into their telecom closets and turn on new
wireless services over their existing Universal Wireless Network. New
customers of MobileAccess’ flexible fiber/coax-based in-building
wireless solution can just as easily add Mobile WiMAX capabilities, in
addition to other wireless services such as cellular voice, public
safety radio, wireless LAN and wireless medical telemetry, over the same
shared infrastructure.
“MobileAccess’ WiMAX solution enables current customers such as Akridge
to have an instant migration path to next-generation wireless services,
such as building automation, without the need for an infrastructure
overhaul or new cabling,” said Tommy Russo, director of information
technology for Akridge Real Estate Services. “This capability will allow
MobileAccess customers in the multi-tenant building and retail markets
to continue to reap the financial and operational benefits of a
well-coordinated infrastructure approach that supports the growing
spectrum of wireless services.”
“Mobile WiMAX will offer myriad benefits to the education market,” said
Hassan Marvi, director of technology operations at American University.
“Our MobileAccess Universal Wireless Network will enable us to easily
offer Mobile WiMAX services to students, faculty and staff when the need
arises.”
