Redline Communications has received Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approval for its RedMAX AN-100U WiMAX base station in the United States - the first 3.65 GHz WiMAX product to be approved for operation in the United States. The RedMAX base station will enable operators across the United States to deploy WiMAX services using the newly available 3.65 GHz spectrum.

"Redline is pleased with the FCC's decision to enable more operators to deliver broadband wireless services to rural and underserved areas," said Kevin Suitor, vice president, marketing and business development. "With more than 130 deployments of our WiMAX Forum Certified products worldwide, Redline has seen the benefit of enabling operators to bring true broadband services to more communities. Service providers throughout the United States can now rely on Redline's expertise and proven technologies to establish successful WiMAX networks."

Commercial testing of Redline's 3.65 GHz RedMAX products has been performed under test and development licenses for the 3.65 GHz spectrum for several months, following the Federal Communications Commission's decision to allow WiMAX deployments in the 3.65 GHz spectrum.

"The broadband performance and interoperability of Redline's WiMAX systems will help service providers across the United States to deliver a broad range of communications services," said Michael Anderson, president, PDQLink, a wireless Internet service provider in Illinois that is currently testing Redline's 3.65 GHz RedMAX products. "The unique licensing scheme for the 3.65 GHz band put in place by the FCC provides service providers additional tools to deploy affordable alternative broadband services across the United States, while enabling them to share the spectrum with existing satellite owners that also support essential communications services."
