(NASDAQ and TASE: CRNT), http://www.ceragon.com/ , a leading provider of high-capacity wireless backhaul solutions, announces the launch of its new, revolutionary wireless Gigabit Ethernet solution. FibeAir IP-Max is the industry's only native Gigabit Ethernet wireless platform to offer high capacities of 50 to 800 Mbps combined with scalable and dynamic bandwidth allocation of TDM interfaces. With fiber-like quality, FibeAir IP-Max solutions have the substantial advantage of quick, easy and cost effective deployment. The Gigabit Ethernet product has successfully completed customer trials at several leading service providers and is currently commercially available.

FibeAir IP-Max answers operator needs for higher capacities required for providing enhanced IP-based services.
"FibeAir IP-Max is the first wireless Gigabit Ethernet solution to meet our high capacity demands", stated Willem Noteboom, Manager Wireless Transmissions of KPN, one of the leading telecommunications providers in the Netherlands and one of the companies that tested Ceragon's new Gigabit product. "The trials have truly exceeded our expectations in terms of performance, throughput and latency. We are confident that FibeAir IP-Max, in addition to solutions based on fiber, will help us efficiently implement our next generation all-IP network that can support IPTV and other applications."
"Ceragon continues to lead the wireless Ethernet market for IP-based services," said Ira Palti, President and CEO, Ceragon Networks Ltd. "We are pleased to introduce the new FibeAir IP-Max Gigabit radio as a breakthrough in the wireless transmission market. FibeAir IP-Max presents operators with dynamic network capacity that can grow from 50 to more than 800 in a single IDU. Its unique capabilities make it perfect for seamless evolution to emerging IP based next generation networks such as WiMAX and Triple play that offer IP-based voice, data and video services".
Ceragon's software-based capabilities maximize Ethernet throughput capacity with jumbo packet support and dynamic bandwidth allocation between native Ethernet transmission and PDH ports delivering true wire-speed Ethernet. Traffic integrity is guaranteed with built-in Quality of Service (QoS) for different classes of service including VLAN priority (802.1p) and DiffServ/IP TOS values.
Operating in the frequency range of 6-38 GHz, the Gigabit Ethernet solution supports a variety of modulation schemes, including QPSK, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 QAM, and configuration schemes, including hot swappable 1+0, 1+1, East-West, XPIC, Diversity, and 2+0 in a single 1U IDU.
