WiNetworks Secures $19 Million in Financing
Third Round of Financing to be Used for Expanding
Outdoor/Indoor Mobile WiMAX Base Station Family and Increasing
Marketing Penetration
Herzliya, Israel
March 5, 2008
WiNetworks, a pioneer and leader in the development
and integration of WiMAX network technologies, announced today
that it has successfully
raised $19M in financing. Financing from the third round will be
used to expand the Win-Max® family of mobile WiMAX base station
products and to increase market penetration around the world.
The
Win-Max family of mobile WiMAX products includes the WiN7000,
an all-outdoor compact base station, and the WiN7200, a scalable,
single piece mini base station. WiNetworks has already received
orders for over $17M and has begun shipments of the WiN7000 Compact
Base Stations which will be used in the commercial deployment
of
mobile, fixed and nomadic WiMAX networks. All Win-Max products
are based on the mobile WiMAX 802.16e Wave 2 (MIMO) profile.
The
WiN7200 Pico Base Station is the next generation of mobile WiMAX
base stations that will provide dedicated outdoor coverage
and in-building services and capacity. The smaller size allows
for indoor/outdoor installations making WiMAX available to indoor
broadband
users. The WiN7200 Pico Base Station will be available for field
trials by mid 2008.
“WiNetworks is pleased that our investors support our strategic
plans for the development of next generation mobile WiMAX products,” states
Mr. Effi Atad, Chairman of WiNetworks Inc., “This round of
financing confirms WiNetworks technological leadership in WiMAX
developments and will allow WiNetworks to continue in the rapid
growth and expansion of the company and our customer base.”
