Alvarion Supplies Broadband Wireless in Bolivia

Alvarion announced a $7 million contract to supply its broadband wireless equipment to Cooperativa de Telecommunicaciones Santa Cruz Ltda. (COTAS), the second largest phone cooperative in Bolivia. As a replacement for its current outdated WLL system, Alvarion's 3.8 GHz product will allow COTAS to provide enhanced voice and Internet access to its customers in the greater Santa Cruz area beginning in the third quarter. The Santa Cruz deployment, for which Alvarion has already received a $3.6 million purchase order, represents the first phase of COTAS deploying broadband wireless to service customers throughout its service territory. http://www.alvarion.com
