BARCELONA, Spain--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Alvarion Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALVR), a provider of optimized wireless broadband solutions addressing the connectivity, coverage and capacity challenges of public and private networks, today announced the launch of its BreezeULTRA family of high capacity wireless broadband solutions built on the 802.11n technology, available in the 4.9-5.9 GHz band. The first solution in the BreezeULTRA family to be introduced is the BreezeULTRA P6000 Point-to-Point solution, providing high-quality data, voice and video for private networks.

"The BreezeULTRA family is a natural evolution in our license-exempt product offering. It answers our customersa needs for higher levels of performance in a single solution that will grow with their needs"

The BreezeULTRA family of base stations addresses the diverse range of connectivity and growing capacity needs of the market and is based on a multi-functional, multi-radio architecture that suits a variety of different topologies: Point-to-Point (PtP), Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) and Hybrid Backhaul-to-Multipoint (HBtMP).

All configurations of the BreezeULTRA family offer superior capacity and packet processing, enabling organic growth by adding capacity with a software license only. To address the coverage needs and allow deployment in Non-Line-Of-Sight (NLOS) conditions, BreezeULTRA is equipped with high power Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology, enabling unique spatial diversity capabilities.

The BreezeULTRA family provides reliable wireless communications for operators, small cell backhaul, smart cities, public safety, education, smart utilities, oil and gas and Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs). With a small form factor, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) support, browser-based configuration and more, the BreezeULTRA solutions may offer significant savings on OPEX, often invested in installation and maintenance.

The BreezeULTRA Point-to-Point solution offers extended capacity and coverage performance, leveraging powerful packet-processing, 250 Mbps net-throughput, quality of service, and high-transmission rates, creating high capacity IP backhauling and connectivity.

Additional Point-to-Multipoint and Hybrid Backhaul-to-Multipoint versions will be available later this year as part of the BreezeULTRA road-map.

aThe BreezeULTRA family is a natural evolution in our license-exempt product offering. It answers our customersa needs for higher levels of performance in a single solution that will grow with their needs,a said Tal Meirzon, COO at Alvarion. aIt represents a breakthrough for our partners, who require a flexible solution that is easy to manage technically and meets their business needs and challenges.a
