Expands Participation in M-Taiwan Initiative

TAIPEI SUMMIT, Taiwan -- Alvarion Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALVR), the world's leading provider of WiMAX and wireless broadband solutions, today announced that Asia Pacific Telecom Group (APTG) plans to deploy its 802.16e-based 4Motion(TM) Mobile WiMAX solution in TaiChung, the third largest city in Taiwan. This project demonstrates Alvarion's commitment to Mobile WiMAX in Taiwan, where it is already involved in WiMAX deployments and various local partnerships as a key participant in the M-Taiwan program. Alvarion's local partner is AnDar Technology Inc.

Alvarion is actively contributing to the M-Taiwan project with its commercially available solution, granting operators, device manufacturers, base station suppliers, and others with the important advantage of time-to-market. M-Taiwan is the Taiwanese government's initiative for providing ubiquitous broadband throughout the island nation. The project's main goals include elevating Taiwan to one of the top five countries in the world for Internet penetration, while becoming one of the top ten countries in the world for low online access fees. In addition, M-Taiwan's broadband initiative is aimed at improving the broadband and wireless infrastructures in the country's remote areas to help bridge Taiwan's digital divide.

"As a leading company in Taiwan, we required a WiMAX vendor with field-proven expertise to help us offer our customers a full range of wireless applications, including Internet access, voice and video services," said Mr. Springfield Lai, Chairman of APTG. "Alvarion's ongoing contribution to the M-Taiwan program is impressive and we look forward to implementing large-scale 16e-based Mobile WiMAX deployments across Taiwan."

Based on the award-winning BreezeMAX(TM) and 4Motion - the foundation of Alvarion's OPEN(TM) WiMAX strategy - the new network is expected to provide corporate and small business users with high-quality data and voice over IP (VoIP) broadband services, at 2.5 GHz frequency. OPEN WiMAX is Alvarion's operator-centric, all-IP ecosystem for enabling service providers to choose network and consumer electronics equipment from any combination of vendors and partners to best fit their specific mobile network requirements.

"We are excited to be selected by APTG, and particularly happy to contribute to the adoption of WiMAX in Taiwan through our extensive worldwide experience in deploying WiMAX systems," said Tzvika Friedman, president and CEO of Alvarion. "As WiMAX leader, we are strongly engaged in the nationwide WiMAX broadband initiative and uniquely positioned to help promote the adoption of OPEN WiMAX benefits and services in Taiwan, Asia and across the globe."
