Navini Networks, Inc. providers of
non-line-of-sight, zero-install portable wireless broadband technology recently announced
the availability of the PCMCIA card for 3.5 GHz at the WiMAX Summit in Paris.
"The 3.5GHz spectrum, traditionally known as the fixed
wireless spectrum, is becoming key to the broad development and acceptance of
mobile broadband wireless," said Karim Taga, Managing Director, Arthur D.
Little Austria GmbH. "Navini Networks is the only vendor that has already
deployed large scale commercial portable broadband networks in this spectrum.
Navini has demonstrated the viability of wireless broadband as a mass market
offering."
"The introduction of the PCMCIA card in 3.5GHz will further
enhance the value of this spectrum and spur portable broadband network
deployments in Europe and elsewhere," added Taga.
"Navini's solution is powered by patented Smart Antennas
with adaptive beam forming technology," said Roger Dorf, president and
chief executive officer of Navini Networks. "This makes it possible to
deliver on all the requirements of a successful personal broadband network: Wide
area coverage, indoor zero installTM plug-n-play, and broadband data
rates."
Navini's PC card will deliver DSL speeds and portability today.
"What's the power of this? People have embraced the freedom and 'personal
nature' of cell phones and they will now be able to enjoy the same freedom and
personal connection to high-speed Internet access."
"Our ongoing commitment to deliver a commercially viable
upgrade path to 802.16e has allowed Navini and its customers to redefine
wireless broadband from a fixed to a personal offering thus significantly
increasing the value of the 3.5GHz spectrum," added Dorf.
