Airspan Networks Introduces Major Product Line Extensions for WipLL BOCA RATON, Fla., Jul 29, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Airspan Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:AIRN): -- New Frequencies Expand Addressable Markets -- Bridging and Routing Functions Combined in the CPE to Reduce Total Customer Spend -- Voice over IP Capabilities Integrated -- Point to Point Capabilities Added to Enable Cost Effective Solution Airspan Networks, Inc., a leading global provider of fixed broadband wireless DSL networks, announced today a series of enhancements to the WipLL product line. These improvements enable WipLL to be sold to a wider addressable market and include: -- First commercial shipments of WipLL5, the 5.7 GHz frequency version of WipLL. This frequency is available in the majority of the world. -- First commercial shipments of WipLL2.8, the 2.8 GHz frequency version of WipLL targeted at the rapidly expanding India market. This frequency was recently licensed to operators in India. -- First commercial shipments of WipLL Release 4.2, which provides transparent bridging as well as routing functions in the CPE devices. This capability allows the same infrastructure to be used to support both residential Internet access customers and corporate Virtual Private Network (VPN) applications. This capability also allows users to avoid purchase of expensive data routers at the customer premise. The cost of these routers often exceeds the cost of the WipLL equipment. -- First commercial shipments of Airspan`s voice over IP Solution, based on WipLL. This solution allows operators building Next Generation IP Centric networks to utilize WipLL for voice and data services. -- First commercial shipments of the AS3010 Point-to-Point Solution which is based on the WipLL technology. This solution provides a robust 3.2 Mbit/s link over 19 miles at a starting price of less than $2000, a considerable price advantage over competing products. In addition, Airspan announces two key product enhancements for availability in the second half of 2003: -- WipLL 700 MHz -a variant of the product operating in the newly licensed 700 MHz band in the US. Approximately 115 companies bid $145M for this spectrum for 740 specific licenses. -- WipLL 900 MHz - a variant of the product targeting rural operators using the unlicensed 900 MHz frequencies available in the US, Brazil, and other markets. "The cap ex focus of operators and ISP`s is now firmly focused on broadband data growth and voice revenue streams and WipLL addresses these needs head on. These improvements allow us to tap a number of new growing markets with our products," said Paul Senior, Airspan`s Vice President of Product Management and Marketing. "These features enable new applications for existing customers and also enable additional market segments previously not accessible to us due to frequency limitations. When 802.16a WiMax compatible variants of these products are available next year, this reach will be extended even further." |
