xchange magazine
announced today that WiNetworks has been selected as a finalist
to receive the Best of WiMAX World EMEA 2008 Industry Choice Award
for the WiN7200 Pico Base Station. The awards recognize leaders
in the development and deployment of WiMAX technologies. Nominations
were open to exhibitors, sponsors and presenters of the WiMAX
World EMEA Conference, May 19-21, in Munich, Germany. A select judging
panel of experts from the WiMAX community chose 22 Industry Choice
finalists among the nominees, including WiNetworks Pico Base Station.
It is now up to their peers to determine the winner.
Conference delegates will vote for the Industry
Choice Award at the WiMAX World EMEA Conference. The winner will
be announced May
20 during the Best of WiMAX World EMEA Awards presentation hosted
by Eliot Weinman, conference co-chair and president of Trendsmedia,
the events and publishing division of Yankee Group that produces
WiMAX World Conferences & Expos, and Mike Saxby, group publisher
of xchange. Awards also will be given to outstanding WiMAX technology
innovators in five additional categories. All winners will be featured

Web sites.
“xchange congratulates the finalists in this contest,” said
Mike Saxby, group publisher of xchange. “The Industry Choice
nominees are among the best and brightest in the field, showcasing
the rapid advancement of WiMAX technology.”
Eliot Weinman, conference co-chair added, "We're
excited about this prestigious and objective awards program and
the innovation
represented by its nominees."
The WiN7200 Pico Base Station
is a scalable, single piece mini base station that provides dedicated,
enhanced in-building services
and capacity. The smaller mini-size makes this solution the lowest
cost base station available for a high speed WiMAX access. The
lower output power make it an ideal choice for indoor/outdoor installations
making WiMAX available for indoor users. WiNetworks will launch
the WiN7200 Pico Base Station in June 2008 in the 2.XGHz and 3.XGHz
frequency ranges.
WiNetworks will be speaking at this event in
the Solution Theater on May 21 at 14:00, and visitors can also
visit WiNetworks booth
412 to discuss Pico Base Station deployment scenarios.
Finalists
were selected by an independent judging panel, including Craig
Mathias, principal, Farpoint Group; Will Strauss, principal
analyst, Forward Concepts; Adlane Fellah, CEO and founder, Maravedis
Inc.; Caroline Gabriel, lead research analyst, Rethink Research;
Philip Marshall, vice president of enabling technologies, Yankee
Group; and representatives from xchange and Trendsmedia.
