Alvarion's New BreezeNET(R) B100 Achieves Breakthrough Speeds, Performance for Point-to-Point Access, Backhaul Applications.

TEL AVIV, Israel -- Alvarion Ltd., (NASDAQ: ALVR), the world's leading provider of wireless broadband solutions and specialized mobile networks, today announced that its new BreezeNET B100 has achieved breakthrough speeds and performance for point-to-point broadband access and backhaul applications. Available in Q3 2006, the B100 is a carrier class wireless bridging solution that operates in the licensed-exempt 5 GHz band and offers up to 108Mbps. The product addresses the growing market need for robust, high capacity systems to support real time video, voice, and data services and the backhauling of high performance WiMAX broadband access and other networks, including those built using Alvarion's BreezeMAX(TM) and BreezeACCESS(R) VL products.

"Today's need for increased bandwidth stems partly from municipalities and the public safety market demands, particularly in North America and Europe," said Esme Vos, founder of Muniwireless.com. "Broadband networks supplying these needs must combine high capacity, 100% reliable point-to-point bridging and backhauling at the right cost, and many times, operate in a licensed-exempt band."

Also targeting building-to-building enterprise connectivity, cellular backhaul, and high capacity access applications, such as real-time video, voice, and data services, the B100 is a field proven extension to Alvarion's widely deployed BreezeNET B family of point-to-point solutions and already successful BreezeNET B14 and BreezeNET B28 products. Widely used also to deliver broadband services for government, other public sector customers, and public safety and homeland security uses such as video surveillance, highway patrol, vehicle tracking and video streaming, BreezeNET B products are sufficiently flexible and robust for most any deployment environment.

"Our BreezeNET B100 gives operators the ability to quickly and easily deploy the highest capacity broadband access and backhaul links to meet users' ever growing needs for bandwidth, while avoiding the high recurring costs of leased lines," said Rudy Leser, Alvarion corporate vice president of strategy and marketing. "Leveraging our advanced technology and decade plus of market leadership, Alvarion is best positioned to offer new products to meet this demand and to pinpoint specific applications, such as public safety. In addition, BreezeNET B is the perfect complement to our widely deployed BreezeMAX and BreezeACCESS VL network systems, with its ability to be deployed in most any geography or climate in the world."

Currently in field trials, the BreezeNET B100 will be available first in the 5.8 GHz and 5.4GHz bands and can be easily co-located with other Alvarion products. BreezeNET B100, like the whole BreezeNET B product line, incorporates robust outdoor and OFDM technologies to provide broadband connections for an array of applications including in non-line-of-sight environments. BreezeNET B products are an ideal alternative to expensive leased lines, providing a quick way to establish high bandwidth links to connect campuses, industrial zones, and remote offices to a company headquarters.
