Netia selects Alvarion's BreezeMAX for a 20 city WiMAX deployment: CommsUpdate : TeleGeography Research

Israeli WiMAX vendor Alvarion has announced that Netia has placed an order for its BreezeMAX 3600 equipment sufficient for a 20 city WiMAX network. BreezeMAX 3600 enables carriers to offer broadband data, voice, and multimedia services with high performance over wide coverage areas. As a customer of Alvarion's MGW solution for multi-residential voice and data services, Netia began WiMAX rollout in 20 cities on receiving its national licence in July 2005; Netia is one of four carriers to receive such a concession. According to Wojciech Madalski, president and CEO of Netia, Alvarion was chosen because it could ensure that ‘we can provide WiMAX services to subscribers in the first 20 cities by the end of August.’
