DigitalBridge Communications first with WiMAX Forum Certified gear in U.S.
Saturday, July 5th, 2008 – 2:12 pmDigitalBridge Communications (DBC), a wireless ISP in the United States, has launched the first commercial Mobile WiMAX network using WiMAX Forum Certified 802.16e equipment in the U.S. with service in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The new mobile capability enhances its BridgeMAXX fixed high-speed wireless Internet service.
The service uses Alvarion’s BreezeMAX 2.5 GHz base station, which recently received the WiMAX Forum Certified mark for equipment based on the IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard for mobile broadband. The certification assures network operators that infrastructure and devices carrying the logo are interoperable with each other and enabling equipment purchase from multiple vendors. The Wyoming network will offer Alvarion’s CPE modems and 4Motion peripherals, which have yet to be certified. DBC is Alvarion’s largest U.S. customer.
