Alvarion Ltd. announced the purchase of its premier platform, BreezeMAX 3500, by Americatel Peru for an initial deployment of a WiMAX-ready broadband network. When the wireless system is deployed, business and SOHO users in Lima will receive high capacity broadband data and voice services.

Alvarion's WiMAX-ready, BreezeMAX is an OFDM platform with advanced non-line-of-sight (NLOS) functionality designed for operators to offer broadband IP-based data and voice services.

Its carrier-class design supports broadband speeds and quality of service (QoS) to enable carriers to offer multi-services to thousands of subscribers in a single cell. BreezeMAX networks are already installed in more than 30 countries worldwide.

Americatel Peru, a successful long distance carrier, has been increasing its services to business providing voice, data and broadband services. The new wireless network deployment will operate in the 3.5 GHz frequency, thanks to a license conceded to Americatel Peru in the year 2001.
