Redline Demos WiMax Network

TORONTO -- Redline Communications, a leading provider of standards-based broadband wireless equipment, and IBM's Global Services will demonstrate a WiMAX-based network using TowerStream's current coverage at SUPERCOMM 2005 in Chicago. The firms will deliver voice, video and data to the Redline, IBM and Intel booths using Redline's RedMAX(TM) family of WiMAX-based products, including its low-cost subscriber unit incorporating the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 5116 system-on-a-chip. This collaboration empowers the world's first live, 'over the air' demonstration of equipment that is compliant to the IEEE 802.16 2004 standard, upon which WiMAX is based.

Content will be transmitted wirelessly using Redline's RedMAX equipment from two downtown Chicago locations, including a TowerStream Point-of-Presence (PoP) site in the AON Tower, to the IBM booth located in the McCormick Center. The demonstration includes a combination of live video feeds from web cameras situated at the Tower and streaming video/data from IBM. Within the McCormick Center, RedMAX equipment will be deployed to extend wireless coverage to the Redline and Intel booths.

"We are pleased to be working with industry leaders such as IBM, Intel and TowerStream to increase customer confidence in the benefits of broadband wireless networks based on WiMAX specifications," said Keith Doucet, VP Marketing and Product Management, Redline Communications. "All of the RedMAX equipment demonstrated will be part of the first wave of industry products presented for WiMAX certification at the Cetecom lab in July," he added.
