Alvarion ranked #1 supplier in Europe for wireless infrastructure equipment used in video surveillance

WASHINGTON, USA: Alvarion Ltd, a leading provider of 4G networks in the Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) market, has been ranked the number one supplier of wireless infrastructure equipment used in video surveillance in Europe by IMS Research in its latest report “The EMEA Market for Wireless Infrastructure Used in Video Surveillance” (published August 2010).

“The main advantage of wireless infrastructure over wired systems is the cost savings associated with not trenching and laying cable. This means wireless infrastructure is well suited to video surveillance systems where cameras are required across a large area that has no existing network,” comments Niall Jenkins, senior analyst at IMS Research.

“The video surveillance market, and in particular IP video surveillance, is fast growing and as wireless networking increases its penetration into this market, the opportunity for wireless infrastructure equipment vendors will continue to grow.”

Alvarion’s video surveillance portfolio offers a carrier-class, robust, secure and reliable solution which is field proven in municipalities, enterprises and industrial markets around the world.

Alvarion’s complete portfolio includes the market leading 4G WiMAX 802.16e solution, BreezeMAX Extreme for the 4.9 GHz and 5 GHz frequency range, BreezeACCESS VL and BreezeNET B which are optimized for wireless video surveillance applications.

“IMS Research’s latest video surveillance ranking proves our innovation in bringing cost-effective wireless broadband solutions for security applications,” said Ofer Karp, president of the Wireless Business Division at Alvarion.

“Video surveillance is a routine issue in security planning and there is a constant search for innovative and intelligent technologies to improve security, particularly over several remote sites. Our fixed and mobile solutions support a wide range of frequency bands and provide a very attractive business case for video surveillance deployments.”
