MobileAccess Brings WiMAX Indoors with First Integrated MIMO Product Release
First In-Building WiMAX Solution of Its Kind Will Spur Early Adoption by Reducing Deployment Costs
CHICAGO (WiMAX World) — September 24, 2007—MobileAccess,
the foremost enterprise wireless innovator, today announced that its award-winning,
multi-service in-building wireless solution is now WiMAX-ready with a MIMO
product introduction. The innovative solution aims to change the economics of
WiMAX and spur early adoption by providing the highest business-quality indoor
WiMAX performance and reducing deployment costs by up to 50 percent. The first
in-building WiMAX solution of its kind, the MobileAccess WiMAX module
seamlessly integrates with the company’s Universal Wireless Network to provide
a plug-and-play solution that delivers WiMAX services over existing
MobileAccess deployments. At the same time, it is well suited for the thousands
of deployments planned by Mobile WiMAX operators around the world.
Mobile WiMAX will enable an array of new applications that
will transform business. As users
prepare for its availability, MobileAccess will meet their expectations of
ubiquitous high-quality service by maintaining consistently strong coverage
throughout public venues and other large buildings such as airports, casinos, hospitals,
hotels, office buildings, shopping malls and sports stadiums. The newly enhanced
Universal Wireless Network solution overcomes the physical limitations of
conventional building infrastructures and provides highly-scalable, high-speed access
to a variety of state-of-the-art applications enabled by Mobile WiMAX,
including localized personal information alerts, streaming
audio/videoconferencing, content on demand and advanced mobile commerce.
“The focus on WiMAX up to now has been on fixed solutions that
provide only last mile connectivity to the home,” said Cathy Zatloukal, CEO of
MobileAccess. “However, carriers have made great strides toward rolling out Mobile
WiMAX. Our new solution will be instrumental in bringing the services inside
buildings because it eliminates the need for customers to install a cabled
infrastructure dedicated to supporting WiMAX. With our Universal Wireless
Network, they can tap the potential of 4G speeds and services when and where
they will need it.”
The new solution enables existing MobileAccess customers to
seamlessly add the Mobile WiMAX module into their telecom closets and turn on new
wireless services over their existing Universal Wireless Network. New customers of MobileAccess’ flexible
fiber/coax-based in-building wireless solution can just as easily add Mobile
WiMAX capabilities, in addition to other wireless services such as cellular
voice, public safety radio, wireless LAN and wireless medical telemetry, over
the same shared infrastructure.
“MobileAccess’ WiMAX solution enables current customers such
as Akridge to have an instant migration path to next-generation wireless services,
such as building automation, without the need for an infrastructure overhaul or
new cabling,” said Tommy Russo, director of information technology for Akridge
Real Estate Services. “This capability will allow MobileAccess customers in the
multi-tenant building and retail markets to continue to reap the financial and
operational benefits of a well-coordinated infrastructure approach that
supports the growing spectrum of wireless services.”
“Mobile WiMAX will offer myriad benefits to the education
market,” said Hassan Marvi, director of technology operations at
