Redline Gets REV'd

TORONTO -- Redline Communications Inc., (AIM:REDL) a leading provider of standards-based WiMAX and broadband wireless infrastructure products, today announced the official launch of its Redline Ecosystem Verification ('REV') program. The REV program is Redline's interoperability testing program that will accelerate interoperability testing between Redline's RedMAX 4C(TM) Mobile WiMAX, RedMAX(TM) Fixed WiMAX, and RedCONNEX(TM) broadband wireless infrastructure products with devices and applications being developed by other companies in the WiMAX and telecommunications ecosystems.

"As the leader in WiMAX technologies and deployments Redline has seen first-hand the demand by operators for interoperability between WiMAX products," said Kevin Suitor, Vice President, Marketing and Business Development, Redline Communications Inc. "To meet carriers' demands, Redline is taking interoperability testing beyond the level required for WiMAX Forum certification. REV ensures that networks incorporating Redline products with REV-certified products from other vendors will deliver the capacity, features and functions that operators need for a strong business case."

Several WiMAX equipment companies including base station, customer premise equipment and chip manufacturers, as well as WiMAX peripherals vendors, are now taking part in the REV program. The program was designed to augment the testing requirements for WiMAX Forum Certification(TM), verifying the level of connectivity and performance that carriers can achieve between Redline's RedMAX and RedMAX 4C mobile WiMAX products and other WiMAX devices in their network, and accelerating the deployment of operators' interoperable networks. The program also includes Redline's RedCONNEX family, which is used by carriers around the world to support high-bandwidth voice, video and data services.

"The WiMAX trial period is over. Carriers are now deploying large-scale WiMAX networks and are demanding that equipment providers deliver on the WiMAX promise of worldwide interoperability," said Monica Paolini, Principal, Senza Fili Consulting, a leading analyst and consulting firm specializing in wireless data technologies and services. "The true growth in WiMAX will be driven by carriers' abilities to support a wide range of personal broadband devices on their networks. Redline's REV program will help carriers to realize the benefits of WiMAX technologies."
