Overview

Alvarion is a premier provider of solutions based on
Point-to-Multipoint (PMP), Broadband Wireless Access (BWA), a
technology essential to the growth of broadband markets. Created
through the merger of BreezeCOM and Floware, the Company supplies
integrated BWA solutions to telecom carriers, service providers
and enterprises all over the world.

More than just a union between two companies, Alvarion represents
a merger of strengths that is truly unique in the industry. The
Company has an exclusive focus on BWA and an unwavering
commitment to the market and the customers who benefit from it.
With its combined market experience, strong customer partnerships
and field-proven deployments, the new company provides the
broadest range of integrated BWA solutions by market segment and
frequency band, designed to address all carrier and service
provider business models. Alvarion has more implementations,
dedicated engineers and technological expertise than any other
BWA player.

The Company provides solutions for every BWA point-to-multipoint
band and addresses every end user profile, from the growing
residential and SOHO (small office, home office) markets through
SMEs (small and medium enterprises) and MTU/MDUs (multi-tenant
units/multi dwelling units). In all of these markets, Alvarion
has unparalleled implementation experience and understands the
elements that build successful business models for its customers.

Alvarion provides the widest range of integrated BWA products and
platforms in both licensed and unlicensed bands, which are market
proven, cost-effective, quick to deploy and easy to install.

The Company's wireless products are designed to meet the
requirements of real world environments and applications,
providing efficient and cost-effective access across most
licensed and unlicensed bands. Deployed in every key geography,
our products address the entire scope of emerging market segments
for new and incumbent carriers, from SOHO (small office, home
office) and SMEs (small and medium-sized businesses) to MTU/MDU
(multi-tenant units/multi-dwelling units). They also represent a
superb alternative to wireline infrastructure for competitive
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) seeking to create new sources
of revenue generation by offering their customers differentiated
voice and data services. And for enterprises requiring LAN
deployment, our solutions are among the most widely used in the
world.

From providing high-performance last-mile access and
cost-effective feeding to cellular networks, to enabling
building-to-building connectivity and Wireless LAN, its products
represent a full spectrum of BWA applications. Alvarion currently
has more than 350,000 units of its products in use in over 100
deployments around the globe, serving a customer base that
includes incumbents, new carriers, ISPs, cellular operators and
enterprises.

Alvarion leads in all five of the defining technological areas on
which BWA competitiveness is based: microwave technology, radio
modems, air protocols, point-to-multipoint system design and in
overall system integration. The decisive advantage that Alvarion
delivers for its customers is in its ability to integrate and
engineer best-in-class technology in carrier class systems.
