 Airspan Solution for the 700 MHz BandOffering the only 4G end-to-end solution for this frequency, helping operators to bridge the digital divide in rural and underserved markets Airspan’s 700 MHz product suite builds on the success of the Company’s strong market position in the 700 MHz band with pre-WiMAX solutions, and adds to the broad Airspan 4G portfolio, which already offers the widest variety of frequency band coverage. This frequency is ideal for deployments throughout the world, but especially in the U.S. There are a broad number of Rural Local Exchange Carrier (RLEC) license holders who are capable of deploying a 4G network to offer subscribers triple-play broadband services (voice, data and video). RUS funding and government subsidies are driving an even bigger demand from operators for a comprehensive 700 MHz broadband solution. Airspan is the only vendor with a 4G solution for this frequency. Coupled with extensive experience and professionalism, Airspan offers the highest quality 4G solutions. The 700 MHz spectrum is exceptionally attractive for wireless broadband operators due to cost savings associated with system deployments. In general 4G is a very affordable broadband option because it requires no digging of trenches for laying of cables and wires. However, in the lower, sub-1 GHz frequencies, signals propagate farther, penetrating through trees and buildings and bend around obstacles. This means that service can reach subscribers at a far greater distance from the base station than in higher frequencies. This has a dramatic impact on the cost of deployments. A sub-1 GHz network typically requires up to 10 times less infrastructure. This makes this solution especially appealing for rural areas and regions with low population density.
