Aperto Launches Stackable Single-Sector Base Station

Aperto Networks introduced a stackable single-sector broadband wireless access (BWA) base station supporting QoS with intelligent classification of traffic and dynamic per-subscriber link optimization. The 1-RU PacketWave 760 is packaged in a modular, pay-as-you-grow, single-sector Access Point form factor for the unlicensed and licensed 2.5 GHz, 3.5 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. It is based on the same architecture as Aperto's existing PacketWave 1000 (PW 1000).



Separately, Aperto announced its roadmap for WiMAX Forum certification, multi-vendor interoperability and shipment of fully IEEE 802.16 WiMAX-compliant systems. This roadmap will be implemented for all frequencies in which Aperto's carrier-class systems operate, i.e., in the 2.5 GHz, 3.5 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The company will build its first generation of WiMAX Forum-certified systems with 802.16-compliant chipshttp://www.apertonet.com
