Actually, 802.16d gear has been out there for a while now in WiMAX Forum certified versions (our .16d was certified two years ago). The plugfests you see going today are for 802.16e products, but the actual 16.e certification waves do not start until early next year. Our commercially selling .16e versions have been in the market now for over 1/2 a year and are selling in 3.5, 2.5 and 2.3 GHz versions. These are products we will be submitting for when the certification waves finally begin.
In terms of Alvarion, we are selling both .16d and .16d WiMAX products in commercial volumes. Our next quarterly report will be made on August 1 and we always give deep detail on what and how much is selling and where. To give you an example of where we are, from our last SEC quarterly filing in May 2007 here are some statistics: * More than 150 commercial WiMAX deployments and another 220 active WiMAX trials * Shipped BreezeMAX 802.16e platform to over 20 customers * Approximately $33 million in BreezeMAX shipments for the first quarter These are "hard" (as in SEC legally-binding) numbers from the quarterly PR and I include them to demonstrate that WiMAX shipments are more than just market hype, at least from our standpoint (we are shipping more WiMAX than any other company).

Lopez Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2007 2:36 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Wimax Sam: I'm interested in verifying those statistics too because my understanding is the "WIMax Plugfests" are still going on and most of the equipment being installed is "preWiMax:" albeit in the 802.16 (d) flavor. I will post to the www.wimax.com blog and find out. I know many of the guys on the webserv. Carl - are you giving a presentation on WiMax? Seems like there are some "subject matter experts" or "knowlegable" people who participate on this listserv who can help you. Felix A.
