Axxcelera Receives Contract Award for 5 GHz WiMAX Deployment
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SANTA BARBARA, CA, May 15 / MARKET WIRE/ --
Axxcelera Broadband Wireless, Inc., a
Moseley Wireless Solutions Group Company and premier provider of broadband
wireless communications products and technologies, has successfully
completed a WiMAX lab test and field trial in the San Francisco Bay area
with Covad Wireless. As a result, Covad will move forward with plans to
roll out WiMAX service later this year with Santa Barbara-based Axxcelera
as its preferred WiMAX equipment vendor.
"Covad has built a profitable, growing wireless broadband business, using
pre-WiMAX equipment, in the San Francisco Bay Area, greater Los Angeles,
Las Vegas, and Chicago. We see great potential in Axxcelera's WiMAX
equipment that will allow us to enhance our existing Internet access
services with additional Ethernet-based wireless service features. These
features include class of service options, enhanced reliability, and
expanded network capacity," said Lee Gopadze, general manager, Covad
Wireless. "This field test is an important step towards Covad's WiMAX
rollout later this year. Axxcelera's equipment exceeded our expectations."
"We are pleased that Covad Wireless has chosen us as its preferred WiMAX
equipment vendor," said Jamal Hamdani, CEO of Axxcelera. "Axxcelera has
made significant investments in its latest WiMAX platform and we view
Covad's decision as evidence of that quality."
The trial included field testing for the reach and performance of Covad's
service with Axxcelera's AB-MAX platform WiMAX equipment. The trial
confirmed a total symmetric bandwidth of 8.0+ Mbps at 5+ miles and
registered less than one percent packet loss and less than 50ms network
latency.
Covad will use Axxcelera's WiMAX equipment to power its flagship "Super-T"
product, which offers up to 6.0 Mbps of symmetric, business-class broadband
access. Covad will begin deployment of its new WiMAX equipment at existing
base station locations in Los Angeles, Orange County and the San Francisco
Bay Area. Deployment will continue throughout 2008 and into 2009.

network to serve businesses. Covad Wireless solutions range from DSL and T1
replacement to high-capacity service with data speeds up to 45 Mbps (the
