Alvarion Ltd. has announced that Fiji International Communications Limited (FINTEL), the country’s international telecommunications provider, has selected BreezeMAX to offer WiMAX data services to the businesses and residents of the Fiji islands. Working with Paclink, a leading South Pacific systems integrator, FINTEL will start by offering services in the capital city of Suva, later expanding to more of the 330 islands in the south Pacific archipelago.

“We are pleased to be able to bring the ‘4G’ services of WiMAX to the Fiji Islands,” said Jone Wesele, commercial & business development manager of FINTEL. “As a complement to our existing fiber and satellite networks, BreezeMAX has proven to be ideal for our island terrain. It's a robust, ruggedized system with exceptionally high performance for our non-line-of-sight environment and meets the demanding bandwidth and service requirements of our busy tourist industry."

“Bringing WiMAX to the Fiji Islands is very exciting, and we are thrilled to plan and deploy such a significant addition to FINTEL’s network capabilities," said Philip Martyn of Paclink. “We look forward to growing our relationship with Alvarion to offer more network solutions to FINTEL and other carriers in our region.”

“We applaud FINTEL’s decision to strategically integrate the excellent business case of BreezeMAX to add broadband data services to its already existing network capabilities,” said Tzvika Friedman, president and CEO of Alvarion. “As our deployments in Asia Pacific increase, we are pleased to see more and more carriers leverage our market-leading BreezeMAX in their island environments. In addition, WiMAX services will give the Fiji tourist industry a substantial boost with the corresponding economic benefits."
