Alvarion and Canada's rural broadband internet provider Barrett Xplore have announced plans to deploy the 4G WiMAX network in Canada. Alvarion will supply its end-to-end 4G solution, including subscriber devices, along with professional services to support this significant country-wide rollout.

Barrett selected Alvarion following a comprehensive evaluation process as the sole provider for its 4G wireless network.

"We are pleased to be working with Alvarion to expand our broadband offerings in large areas of the country. We plan to introduce the latest 4G services so our customers can enjoy the benefits of top-quality broadband, at competitive prices" said John Maduri, CEO of Barrett. 

"Alvarion has a strong track record of deploying 4G networks around the globe and its solution provides the flexibility to evolve toward a TD-LTE network," John Maduri added.

Our future-proof 4G network platform enables real-time high speed wireless services through a flexible architecture that helps operators minimize the total cost of ownership of networks, said Eran Gorev, president and CEO of Alvarion.
