VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA - Vecima Networks Inc. ("Vecima") (TSX:VCM),
a leading supplier of broadband wireless and wired solutions, announced
today the market introduction of the newest member of the WaveRider
LMS8000 OFDM 900 MHz product family, the EUM8001 rugged connectorized
subscriber radio. |

The new
EUM8001 outdoor radio features an N-connector for attachment to external
antenna, small foot-print, plug and play connectivity, adaptive
modulation, enhanced web-based GUI, dynamic polling MAC, Power over
Ethernet and a host of other advanced features. The WaveRider EUM8001
also delivers a 13.5 Mbps over-the-air data rate with up to 8 Mbps
usable data throughput for a single subscriber, all in a 5.5 MHz channel
size.
"The introduction of the Federal Broadband Stimulus Program has driven
increased demand for Vecima WaveRider and VistaMAX products. Internet
service providers are seeking an OFDM-based CPE (customer premise
equipment) with N-connector so that any existing non OFDM systems can be
replaced with WaveRider base stations and CPE, while the existing wiring
and panel or yagi antennas at the customer installations can be
retained. Since many competitor systems operating at 900 MHz can only
provide aggregate throughput at the base station of around 2-3 Mbps,
providers are now in a position to replace older generation technologies
with the WaveRider LMS8000 OFDM system. This will provide increased
broadband throughput and system capacity to meet growing subscriber
needs and ROI criteria," said Jim Shedden, Director of WaveRider Sales
at Vecima Networks.
The LMS8000 family now includes three CCU base station models and five
CPE models, offering a robust product mix including diversity antennas
for OFDM indoor and outdoor CPEs as well as a nomadic DC powered unit.
The WaveRider EUM8001 is now shipping internationally.
