[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nVANCOUVER, Aug. 22 /CNW/ - Vecima Networks Inc. (TSX:VCM), leading Last\nMile Solution(R) provider for broadband wireless and wired networks, today\nannounces unit delivery and deployment milestones for its Broadband Wireless\nInternet Network (BWIN(TM)) product series. Based on proven Data over Cable\nService Interface Specifications (DOCSIS(R)) technology for triple play\nservices and first released in 1999 where it was available only in 3.5 GHz,\nVecima's BWIN(TM) line of base stations and CPEs has expanded to offer\ncomplete system solutions in 700 MHz, 900 MHz, 1.9 GHz, 2.5 GHz, 3.5 GHz and\n5.8 GHz. To date, BWIN(TM) deliveries exceed 50,000 units and have been\ndeployed within 12 countries situated throughout Asia, Central America, Africa\nand North America.\n\n\nTargeting underserved rural and economically developing regions where\nbroadband access had traditionally been unavailable, Vecima generated strong\ndemand for its Canadian manufactured BWIN(TM) product family offering a cost\nefficient and rapidly deployable solution relative to laying cable\ninfrastructure. Additional benefits fueling service provider's demand for\nBWIN(TM) included low-cost market entry, scalability and portability.\n\n\n"Our growth into the wireless space has been very positive because of the\nsuccess of our BWIN(TM) solutions," remarked Sumit Kumar, VP Corporate\nStrategy. "To carve space for Vecima in this highly competitive market, we\nrelied heavily on our technical ability to customize client-specific solutions\nwhile utilizing our in-house manufacturing to deliver systems in rapid\nturn-around time. At the same time, we capitalized on positioning our sales\nand marketing team to focus on specific niche markets. We are very confident\nin reemploying this strategic outline to maximize our market space in the\nWiMAX space moving forward."\n\n\n"Although historically a wired broadband technology, DOCSIS(R) is a\nrobust platform from which Vecima built its BWIN(TM) product family. In fact,\nas the next generation broadband wireless standard, WiMAX leverages the\nadvantages of DOCSIS(R) by employing much of the MAC technology from the wired\npredecessor. Vecima's intimate knowledge of DOCSIS(R) gained through years of\nexperience supplying the cable industry with DOCSIS(R) upconverters and QAMs\ncontinues to b...
