Butlernetworks Builds Denmark's First National WiMAX Network

Advanced features include non-line-of-sight operation, extended reach of more than 30 kilometers, and a high capacity of up to 54 Mbps.

Butlernetworks, a Danish carrier, has deployed Alvarion's BreezeACCESS VL platform for building the first national wireless broadband network in Denmark. Using Alvarion's VL system, the Danish carrier is providing high-quality data to small and medium businesses as well as large corporate end-customers in Denmark.

Working together with its long-term local partner, UpGrade Communication AB, Butlernetworks has already connected over 1000 businesses, offering broadband services to 50 partners including ISPs, system integrators and operators. Leveraging the network, BreezeACCESS VL also enables technicians to access information and file reports from the field, thereby saving time and improving quality of service (QoS) immensely.

"Offering wireless broadband in Denmark, we needed a reliable vendor that could provide us with an already field-proven and cost-effective solution," said Soren Stovring-Hallsson, CEO of Butlernetworks. "We chose Alvarion not only for its OFDM technology expertise and leadership in wireless broadband solutions, but for its high standards, flexibility and outstanding service, as well."

With BreezeACCESS VL's advanced features such as non-line-of-sight operation, extended reach of more than 30 kilometers, high capacity of up to 54 Mbps, encryption and QoS, triple-play services can be offered to both business and residential subscribers. Operating in the 5 GHz bands, VL supports great flexibility in frequency planning with its 20 MHz channel spacing, automatic clear channel selection (ACCS) and built-in spectrum analyzer, which monitors and avoids noise on any given channel.

"We are pleased that Butlernetworks has chosen us for bringing high-speed wireless broadband access to Denmark," said Tzvika Friedman president and CEO of Alvarion. "Our BreezeACCESS VL is an ideal solution for enabling Butlernetworks to offer broadband services in the country, providing an alternative broadband network with increased capacity and at affordable rates to all its customers."
