FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 
Alvarion and ArrayComm to Deliver Best of Breed Advanced Antenna Technology

Joint Offer to Leverage ArrayComm’s Advanced Multi-antenna Signal Processing and Alvarion’s Industry-leading WiMAX Platform in 4Motion Mobile WiMAX Solution

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL and SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA — Alvarion Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALVR) and ArrayComm LLC, announced today their ongoing technology partnership for integration of ArrayComm’s multi-antenna signal processing software (A-MASTM) into Alvarion’s 4Motion’s Radio Access Network Solutions.
Alvarion is the world’s leading provider of WiMAX and wireless broadband solutions. Its all-IP OPEN WiMAX ecosystem opens the door to complete, best-of-breed networks that optimize all elements of a WiMAX network – from core equipment and service offerings to end-devices and even the end-user’s experience.
Alvarion’s WiMAX platform will leverage ArrayComm’s A-MASTM Advanced Multi-Antenna software in order to offer 2 to 4 times more coverage and spectral efficiency than the WiMAX Forum’sTM baseline profiles, through a unique combination of Beamforming, MIMO and adaptive interference cancellation, while maintaining full profile and standards compliance.
“ArrayComm’s MAS technology significantly improves the economics of WiMAX systems, increasing the range and data throughput per base station,” said Tzvika Friedman, President and CEO of Alvarion. “The relationship between the two companies will benefit operators worldwide with solutions that use ArrayComm’s unique A-MAS software and our WiMAX radio access network (RAN).”

“Alvarion’s clear leadership and momentum in WiMAX deployments across the globe creates a significant opportunity for both of companies,” said Steve Sifferman, President of ArrayComm, “and Alvarion’s OPEN WiMAX approach has made the integration of our A-MAS software very straightforward.”
