WiNetworks, a pioneer and leader in the development and integration of WiMAX and digital video broadcast network technologies, announced today the availability of the Compact 802.16e Base Station in the 1.XGHz, 2.XGHz and 3.XGHz frequency bands. The WiN7000 Base Station is designed as a low cost, compact, all outdoor model that can be installed in any outdoor environment. The Base Station uses the mobile 802.16e WiMAX technology to enable new revenue sources from mobile wireless applications while integrating with the existing infrastructures of one-way broadcast operators, broadcast satellite and cable operators.

The WiN7000 Compact Base Station is based on the mobile-WiMAX IEEE 802.16e standard and will comply with the WiMAX Forum Wave 2 profiles for MIMO when the mobile certification process is initiated. The scalable architecture supports up to 1000 subscribers with multi-sector site support through daisy-chain structure. The full outdoor, compact design allows simple installation and mounting on various poles, street lamps or exterior walls lowering OPEX and CAPEX.

WiNetworks Compact Base Station integrates with the WiNetworks subscriber units for Coax (WiN5000), Ethernet (WiN5200), and Self-install (WiN5500) applications. These high-performance devices provide complete 802.16e mobile WiMAX broadband wireless access functionality through the home and on the move.

WiNetworks Compact Base Station is coming to the market at a significant time for operators where diversified content needs to be delivered to multiple platforms”, said Mr. Effi Atad, CEO of WiNetworks, “Our mobile 16e base station and standard product line will allow their existing networks to offer the full range of Triple Play and Mobile services, including voice, video and data to mobile enabled devices creating a strong revenue stream for operators.”

The WiN7000 Compact Base Station and subscriber units are part of the Win-Max E Series Product Family and are managed by the WiNMS Network Management System. Field trials are scheduled with customers in June 2007, and will be followed with commercial deliveries in Q4 2007.
