WiMAX Forum

• IEEE 802.16 is the MAN technology core standard

• WiMAX is equivalent to Wi-Fi alliance • enabling broadband wireless solutions with lower cost CPE• enabling multiple vendor support

• WiMAX Forum includes leading service, application, component andsystem providers. Working together to define the WiMAX Profile standards.

• WiMAX promotes the interoperability of WiMAX profile based devices

• Not every “802.16” product is “WiMAX”…

• WiMAX Forum has formed: Technical, Certification, Marketing, Regulatory, Service Provider and soon Application working Groups.

• Alvarion has strong leadership role: Board, VP Marketing, CFO, CWG Sect,…

NLOS Functionality

• OFDM Modulation overcomes multi-path and deep fades in parts of the spectrum

• Extended coverage and reach increases market share and revenue

• Easier installation reduces operation & installation costs, enabling for subscriber installed CPEs (“zero install”)
