"The 4Motion solution met these demands for superior reliability and quality of service."

To support its broadband Internet connectivity services, BusyInternet chose Alvarion's 4Motion solution operating in the 2.3 GHz spectrum to replace its existing Canopy® solution and deliver reliable, high bandwidth connectivity to corporate and business customers. Alvarion's 4Motion solution is a field proven, end-to-end solution that helps operators offer a variety of IP-based voice and high speed data services over a unified platform using 802.16e technology.

"Alvarion has been a leader in providing wireless broadband connectivity in Africa and we continue to see great opportunities for us in this region for both our licensed and unlicensed businesses."
