Today marks the first commercially available rollout of Mobile WiMAX
Internet service by DBC (DigitalBridge Communications) offered over
Alvarion's BreezeMAX 2.5 GHz solution. The
network is already up and running with broadband Internet to businesses
and homes across Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
As part of a popular resort area drawing thousands of tourists

require high-speed connectivity. DBC's new network enables wireless
connectivity with full coverage for businesses and public offices,
enabling employees to stay online via a mobile office in their vehicles
and access to services such as video, voice, and data communications on
the go. New mobile Internet service will offer consumers the benefits
of anytime anywhere broadband connectivity using WiMAX PC cards in
their laptops. Visitors at the resort can also use the service to send
real-time pictures and movies while on vacation. Using a certified
solution to build the network will allow the introduction of third
party devices from the open market into the network.
