New Product Announcement

BreezeMAX Wi2 and BreezeACCESS Wi2

May 2007

System Description Alvarion is proud to announce the availability of the BreezeMAX™ Wi2 and

BreezeACCESS® Wi2 (“Wi2”). Alvarion’s Wi2 suite of converged solutions unites the

advantages of the popular WiFi access with the powerful capabilities of BreezeMAX

or BreezeACCESS VL/4900 ("BreezeACCESS") systems to provide cost-effective

solutions for personal broadband services.

The fully ruggedized Wi2 system comprises a self-contained combination of an

advanced WiFi Access Point and a BreezeMAX or BreezeACCESS VL/4900 CPE

that provides backhaul connectivity. With its advanced roaming software, the Wi2 can

be deployed almost anywhere to provide broadband mobility to standard WiFi (IEEE

802.11 b/g) end user devices. Used in conjunction with Alvarion’s market-leading

BreezeMAX or BreezeACCESS base stations, the Wi2 can be used to expand the

existing capabilities of Alvarion’s WiMAX and pre-WiMAX networks. Using the Wi2, a

BreezeMAX or BreezeACCESS network can be used to provide personal broadband

services to high-end business as well as residential users equipped with WiFi

enabled devices such as laptops, PDAs, smart-phones, and portable gaming

devices. As a converged system, the Wi2 also gives operators the ability to

seamlessly transition to a fully mobile WiMAX network with managed services for

personal broadband users.

Operating in both licensed and licensed-exempt frequencies, the Wi2 system

leverages the easy availability of WiFi technology - along with the power and

robustness of BreezeMAX or BreezeACCESS broadband wireless access system -

to answer critical public and private sector needs such as traffic management, video

surveillance, public Internet access, homeland security, and various nomadic

applications.

The Wi2 is a self-contained, robust all-outdoor system that comprises three elements:

• A feature-rich WiFi (IEEE 802.11 b/g) Access Point

• A BreezeMAX/BreezeACCESS VL SU-ODU (supplied separately)

• A power supply module that provides power to both the WiFi AP and the SU-ODU.

The Wi2 system requires only a single connection to either AC or DC power (or a

combination of both for redundancy). With its easy installation and operation, high

performance, and rich security and QoS feature sets, the Wi2 is an ideal solution for

operators, municipalities and communities looking to build metropolitan broadband

networks or to integrate WiFi hot zone capabilities into their existing broadband

wireless access networks. The result is personal broadband services ranging from

public Internet access to public safety and Intranet applications.

Known Issues and limitations

• The Antenna Location parameter (Indoor/Outdoor) is meaningful only with Japan Country Code. Note that with the following Country Codes the Antenna Location parameter must be set to Indoor: Greece (GR), France (ER), Spain (ES), Italy (IT), Malaysia (MY), Mexico (MX), Taiwan (TW), Thailand (TH), Belgium (BE) and Israel (IL).

• For compliance with applicable radio regulations, when using antenna(s) with a gain

higher than 8 dBi the Transmit Power parameter should be adjusted accordingly. • It is possible to change WMM BSS in runtime during which traffic disruption may

occur for a short period (~1 second).

• Changing IP address – it is recommended to change the IP address via the web management (In the current release changing the IP address using CLI may not succeed)

• While using the web management it is not recommended to perform multiple resets.
