Alvarion Ltd. has announced an agreement with New Zealand-based CallPlus to have its BreezeMAX 3500 solution deployed. The solution will offer WiMAX data, voice and video services to businesses and residents in southeast New Zealand.

Focused in the district of Whangarei in the Northland region, Siemens is the local partner for the WiMAX network and is responsible for systems integration and ongoing local support.

BreezeMAX is Alvarion's WiMAX platform designed according to the IEEE 802.16 standards and using OFDM technology for non-line-of-sight (NLOS) functionality. Its design supports broadband speeds and quality of service (QoS) to enable carriers to offer triple play broadband services to thousands of subscribers in a single base station.

Since its launch in mid-2004, BreezeMAX has been successfully deployed in over 180 installations in more than 80 countries around the world.

CallPlus has established a new company, Blue Reach, to build the WiMAX local access network and provide services to consumers and businesses.

3G USB Modem Supported in Apple's Latest Release of Mac OS X v.10.4.7


21st August , 2006

US : Franklin Wireless announced that its CDU-550 Mobile Broadband USB modem is supported on Intel based Macintosh systems running the latest update of Mac OS X v.10.4.7 operating system. With the latest update to OS X, Intel based Mac users can now plug in their CDU-550 USB modem and access Sprint Mobile Broadband Data Services operating on the Sprint Power Vision Network without complicated hardware driver setup and configuration procedures.

Franklin's CDU-550 is the country's very first mobile broadband USB modem based on CDMA2000 1x EV-DO technology and will be available immediately through Franklin and its authorized distributors, and to business customers through Sprint indirect sales channels later this month. This revolutionary product enables Mac laptop and desktop users to connect to the internet anytime, anywhere with true wireless mobility not limited by the confines of hot-spot. Franklin's CDU-550 allows users to access email and browse the internet at speeds comparable to cable and DSL connections.

"Franklin is pleased to be able to provide Mac users a long awaited mobile broadband USB modem solution that works seamlessly with their computers," said Mr. OC Kim, President of Franklin Wireless.

Orcon signs up with Siemens
Broadband network partners announced


Alternative network possible


Internet provider Orcon will partner with telecommunications company Siemens in its plan to build a wholesale ADSL2+ broadband network.

The plans for the $30 million network were announced in June, and will provide superior speed and services to the current ADSL network including voice-over-internet phone services.

Orcon will provide wholesale access to the new network to a number of internet providers.

Orcon is waiting for results from negotiations with Telecom over network access or government legislation 'consistent with the broadband package announced' before it sets a construction start date.

By 2010 there will be over 23 billion individual wireless subscribers worldwide
16th November ,2005

Research and Markets has announced the addition of World Mobile Subscriber Markets 2005 to their offering

This report presents an analysis of global mobile subscriber trends. It quantifies
subscribers according to technology and region through 2010 and examines the key
factors of growth and change. CDMA, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, HSDPA and iDen are considered as are subscriber totals for next generation IP-based networks. The study looks at the global and regional impact of these cellular technologies and it articulates key industry and operator initiatives to maintain growth.

Mobile operators and vendors will benefit throughout the decade no matter if they are pursuing low-end or high-end mobile strategies, according to a new study. The worldwide mobile subscriber base will continue to grow through 2010 as wireless networks globally evolve into a number of long-envisioned air-interface roadmaps, the study finds.

By 2010 there will be over 2.3 billion individual wireless subscribers worldwide, according to "World Mobile Subscriber Markets 2005," with 1.1 billion of those subs using 3G services.

"What we are seeing today is not only the growth and use of high-speed mobile networks, but also continued significant growth in second-tier and third-tier wireless markets," said study author Larry Swasey. "In the top markets 3G has been implemented, viable high-speed handsets are being shipped in quantities and users are signing up for high-speed data services. In other areas success is due to simple voice and data strategies where mobile is being used instead of implementing a wireless local loop."

WCDMA, HSDPA and EDGE systems each will garner hundreds of million of subscribers by 2010, according to the study, while CDMA systems will also hold hundreds of millions of subscribers globally. GSM/GPRS subscribers will still number over a billion in 2010, the study finds.

"While WCDMA, HSDPA, EDGE and CDMA will satisfy high-speed voice, data and content needs as well as capacity wants, there will still be a very large use of GSM/GPRS as operators in many markets look to meet simpler voice and data needs," Swasey said. Emerging handset initiatives will play a pivotal role in these same areas, providing access to subscribers of all income levels.

The study quantifies mobile wireless subscribers by region and air-interface through 2010. It also provides the number of 3G high-speed data users and NGN users by region through 2010. Also discussed within the report is which operators and nations have had and will continue to have the largest influence on the direction of the mobile market as well as the paths of each air-interface within each region and key nation.

Questions Addressed
- How much will developing markets grow?
- Will WCDMA have an impact beyond Europe and Japan?
- Is EDGE the 3G solution for emerging markets?
- Has CDMA2000 reached it peak?
- Will growth stop?
- Can growth in Latin America continue?
- What subscriber market is available for next generation technologies?
