BandWD enables carriers to be ‘bandwidth brokers’ by empowering them with policy and resource management software called BwPRM™. This dynamic bandwidth allocation tool can guarantee that the appropriate level of network resources are allocated per user per session, while its advanced quality of service (QoS) control guarantees optimal end-to-end management of network resources. In addition, BandWD enables carriers to do on-the-fly provisioning and scheduling of bandwidth consuming value-added services for non-guaranteed customers by creating differentiated and ad-hoc business schemes for all service levels and subscribers.

Given the prevalence of proprietary solutions in the market, some might question whether WiMAX, or rather having a certified, standard WiMAX, is really necessary. This paper provides an overview of the WiMAX standard, discusses the pros and cons of industry standards in general, and examines the specific advantages and benefits of a WiMAX standard versus other proprietary technologies.

For around 15 years, Alvarion has been at the forefront of the development and deployment of advanced radio and smart-antenna technologies for broadband wireless systems including mobile WiMAX. In this paper Alvarion examines the benefits of the newest radio and related technologies and describes how these benefits impact the deployment of mobile WiMAX networks.

As the broadband wireless market leader with many years experience supporting telephony services on its systems, Alvarion now introduces primary voice services over BreezeMAX, the world’s most popular WiMAX system.

This guide provides information for the installation of an effective grounding and suppression system, for the protection of Alvarion products against lightning.
A Lighting Protection System (LPS) provides a means by which a lightning discharge may enter or leave earth without passing through and damaging personnel, electrical equipment, and non-conducting structures such as buildings. A Lightning Protection System does not prevent lightning from striking; it provides a means for controlling it and prevents damage by providing a low resistance path for the discharge of the lightning energy.
Three types of Lightning Protection architecture are considered in this White Paper.....

Alvarion is an active participant in the Mobile Taiwan (M-Taiwan) program, offering extensive know-how and understanding of the WiMAX market, technology, and field experience of the world’s most widely deployed WiMAX solution.
This document provides a high-level description of Alvarion’s involvement in the M-Taiwan program as well as its contribution and support to the ongoing efforts to make it a unique program for propelling Taiwan to a new and better position, with nationwide communications and broadband data infrastructure aimed to improve the quality of life in Taiwan.

Alvarion’s WiMAX solutions strategy enables service providers to gain immediate value from operating a WiMAX network today, while having a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to later upgrade their networks to 802.16e-2005. In the short term, service providers adopt 802.16-2004 WiMAX to capture valuable market share, revenues, and WiMAX experience. Later, when they are ready to upgrade to 802.16e-2005, they can do so with minimal cost and service-related inconvenience to end users.
Migration from 802.16-2004 to 802.16e technology requires a network upgrade that also includes the integration of additional core network elements, such as home agents, ASN gateways, and others are also required, so to constitute a fully mobile WiMAX network a number of complementary steps must be taken....

Service operators face some tough decisions as they witness a rising demand for “anywhere, anytime” broadband access. Service-operators sense that there is a real business opportunity to provide a substantial increase to the all-important average revenue per user (ARPU). However, when considering the implementation aspect, service providers find the technological landscape dotted with options, trends, and hype. Many technologies, backed by strong vendors and consortiums are vying for the service providers’ attention...

Operators demand more bandwidth out of mobile WiMAX. They require higher throughputs to support mobile TV, high volume of Voice over IP (VoIP) voice calls, online gaming, and business level file transfer rates. Subscribers are willing to pay higher fees for premium services enabling operators to collect higher average revenue per user (ARPU). Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology is designed to deliver significantly higher bandwidth between the WiMAX base-station and the subscriber’s WiMAX enabled device....

Alvarion's Voice Gateway offers a compelling bandwidth efficient solution, enabling carriers and service providers to offer their subscriber base a variety of bundled services such as VoIP telephony and high speed Internet. The gateway can handle up to 16 VLANs isolating the voice from the data traffic, and enabling the operator to offer different services to different end users behind the unit.
