Redline Touts WiMax Gear

TORONTO -- Redline Communications Inc., a leading provider of standards-based WiMAX and broadband wireless infrastructure products, today introduced the latest release of its RedCONNEX(TM) AN-80i family of broadband wireless infrastructure solutions. The new AN-80i is now available for the license-exempt 5.4 GHz spectrum, which has been approved for use in the United States, Canada and parts of Europe, as well as the 5.8 GHz band, offering service providers the ability to deploy or expand their wireless networks in more areas.

The RedCONNEX AN-80i is a robust professional broadband wireless infrastructure solution that delivers connection speeds of up to 108 Mbps. The 5.4 GHz AN-80i delivers the secure connections required for a range of commercial, consumer and government applications, and enables long range connections in a wide range of environments. Incorporating Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS), the AN-80i allows co-existence of wireless communications systems with traditional radar systems in the same frequency band.

"The availability of license-exempt spectrum is crucial to the cost-effective deployment of wireless broadband networks," said Brian Magnuson, President, Cascade Networks/Last Mile Gear. "We are pleased that Redline has chosen to focus on the rapid delivery of its AN-80i solution for the 5.4 GHz spectrum to enable service providers and other network operators to take advantage of this increased 255 MHz of license-exempt spectrum availability. With the AN-80i, companies now have a cost-effective 5.4 GHz wireless backhaul and access network product that provides an alternative solution for areas where new deployments in the 5.8 GHz may not feasible."

"Redline's RedCONNEX products have been used around the world for delivering the highest quality voice, video and data applications," said Kevin Suitor, Vice President, Marketing and Business Development, Redline Communications Inc. "By adding the 5.4 GHz AN-80i to our growing RedCONNEX portfolio of broadband wireless solutions, Redline gives carriers and network operators more choice and the industry's best performance and value for backhaul solutions."
