wireless broadband solutions, and Crossover Distribution.com Corporation have
signed a North American distribution agreement under which Crossover will

allow our customers to quickly and cost-effectively deploy value-add services
in high-growth areas,” said Darin Gibbons, vice president of Crossover.

 

The carrier-grade Wi-Fi’s unique 802.11n MIMO with

customers to deliver a high quality service while helping to reduce CAPEX and
OPEX by up to 50 percent.

American market, their choice to distribute Alvarion’s Wi-Fi solution is one
that will bring cutting-edge solutions, expertise and leadership to their
customers,” said Gadi Bahat, Chief Business Officer at Alvarion.
