Airspan Wins Expansion WiMAX Contract With Multimedia in Poland
December 09 2008 - 8:50AM
Marketwired
Airspan Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRN), a leading provider of
WiMAX-based broadband wireless access networks, and Multimedia
Polska, a provider of triple play services and solutions across
Poland, announced today an expansion contract for the delivery of
Airspan's WiMAX solutions in the 3.5GHz and 5.9GHz frequency bands.
This order for delivery in 2008 includes both fixed and
mobile-ready base station equipment as well as feature-rich
Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) units enabling value-added
services such as voice-over-IP (VoIP).
Multimedia Polska originally selected Airspan in 2007 for a
project to substitute an old radio access system working in the
2.4GHz band with a newer, more dependable and higher-capacity WiMAX
network. This new expansion order is an opportunity to continue
Multimedia's main goal of replacing CT2 and DECT systems with
WiMAX. Airspan's WiMAX solutions give Multimedia Polska the ability
to quickly expand broadband data and voice services in the area
without the need for expensive and slow-to-build cable
infrastructure.
"We are delighted at Multimedia's vote of confidence in
Airspan's WiMAX solutions as evidenced by these additional orders.
Multimedia Polska has an aggressive vision centered on
differentiation and customer satisfaction -- this is a vision we
share," said Anders Rendahl, Airspan's Senior Vice President and
General Manager EMEA.
Andrzej Rogowski, Multimedia Polska CEO, adds, "High quality
residential and business voice and high-speed data are essential
elements of our business. We look forward to a continued beneficial
relationship with Airspan."
Poland and Eastern Europe have long been successful and
important markets for Airspan's WiMAX solutions. These economies
have increasing broadband access demand that is driving WiMAX
adoption. Airspan's presence across the countries of this region,
amongst carriers, distributors and field offices, continues to
position the company for success.
