The Ripwaveä MX BTS, first announced in June 2005, is software
upgradeable to 802.16e and will continue to support the unique Smart
Beamforming functionality available from Navini. This, in conjunction
with the Ripwave EMS, the Ripwave MX modems and PC cards that are
already available and support both the Navini pre-WIMAX and WiMAX
network, fully future-proofs any operator deployment today.
The first Ripwave-MX BTS shipments are in the 3.5GHz frequency range.
These will be followed by shipments in other frequency bands over the
next 3-4 months.
Navini has the most pre-16e mobile WiMAX experience in the world,
including providing the world’s largest portable broadband wireless
network with Unwired Australia (with over 50,000 subscribers to date),
which has led to numerous pre-standard deployments.
“The market is clearly ahead of the standard,” said Roger Dorf,
president and CEO of Navini Networks. “Our new platform represents our
third generation of Personal Broadband base stations, leading the
industry in delivering the best overall CAPEX and OPEX.”
The Ripwave MX BTS delivered excellent results in field-testing. “Based
on our testing results, we are ready to deploy this leading edge
product.” said Moises Abadi, president and CEO of Liberty Technologies.
“At Navini, we are proud to “do what we said we would do” in delivering
this ground-breaking dual-mode base station as per our June 2005
announcement.” Added Dorf.
