LAS VEGAS--Broadband wireless access vendor Alvarion announced at Wireless 2006 here that it will be demonstrating its new 4Motion Mobile WiMAX solution during the event. The demonstration will feature dynamic bandwidth allocation to multiple services and seamless hand-offs. The company is meeting its goal of demonstrating its Mobile WiMAX offering in the early part of 2006. Alvarion added that network operator trials of the fully commercial system will begin early next year.

4Motion is an end-to-end solution incorporating quality-of-service mechanisms, IP mobility core components and multimedia subsystems, along with subscriber terminals, an OMC and backend interfaces. It combines software defined radio, beam forming, multiple-input/multi-output, dynamic bandwidth allocation, and scaleable orthogonal frequency divison multiple access technologies, according to a statement from Alvarion.

"4Motion gives operators the full benefit of our two years of WiMAX deployments enabling them to start with a small network and evolve over time from fixed and portable services, to full mobility services, while also offering current customers a similar ability to augment their networks," said Tzvika Friedman, CEO and President of Alvarion, in the statement. "This solution offers carriers greater overall capacity and superior coverage, while having extreme flexibility and robustness in their network. Equally important, 4Motion’s all-IP core means that it will seamlessly integrate with other vendors’ network equipment, allowing carriers to deliver all manner of multimedia services as they develop."
