(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 10 November 2011 Release date- 09112011 - Cape Town, South Africa - Alvarion Ltd. (NASDAQ:ALVR), a provider of optimized wireless broadband solutions addressing the connectivity, capacity and coverage challenges of public and private networks, today unveiled its new BreezeCOMPACT compact base station.



BreezeCOMPACT is a zero-footprint wireless broadband base station based on Alvarion's field-proven 4Motion 4G technology designed to help carriers face the increasing challenge of delivering high-quality indoor and outdoor coverage in a cost-effective manner. BreezeCOMPACT is an ideal solution for operators who seek the assured quality and reduced risks offered by Alvarion equipment and vast experience.

BreezeCOMPACT, based on common Alvarion architecture, is easily integrated with Alvarion's 4Motion 4G solution to enable coverage and capacity extension in areas where a multi-sector macro base station is not needed. BreezeCOMPACT is in a class of its own, with a small form- factor that fits Micro deployment requirements, but is also equipped with a Macro base station-feature set in terms of capacity capabilities, number of users and services. The BreezeCOMPACT utilizes field-proven 4Motion modules and ecosystem elements, such as ASN-GW, AAA, EMS and end-user devices to maximize the cost-effectiveness of any deployment.


BreezeCOMPACT incorporates the most advanced RF radio features such as 4X4 Radio and Beamforming to deliver the highest level of service and reliability. The miniature base station is an all-in-one modem and radio that can be easily and flexibly mounted on rooftops, walls, poles and towers with a single installation point. BreezeCOMPACT is a 16e base station that is TD-LTE ready by implementing Alvarion's SDR (Software Defined Radio) technology. BreezeCOMPACT will be commercially available during the first half of 2012.
