Enea and PureWave Partner to Bring Advanced WiMAX Basestations to Market
PureWave Incorporates Enea Accelerator Platform in WiMAX Basestations
Stockholm, Sweden, and Santa Clara, California,- January 29, 2009 - Enea® (Nordic Exchange/Small Cap/ENEA), a world leading provider of network software and services, today announced that PureWave Networks, an innovative US-based WiMAX equipment manufacturer, has purchased Enea® Accelerator 2.0 for their next generation base stations. The deal was finalized during the fourth quarter of 2008.
"We're pleased that PureWave has chosen to work strategically with Enea to accelerate deployment of their advanced WiMAX base station", said Åsa Landén Ericsson, president and CEO, Enea. "Customers have increasingly unique requirements for solving industry problems and company-specific criteria make a one-size-fits-all software solution impractical. Enea is the one company that can provide custom solutions, standardized solutions, or any combination in between."
PureWave's goal is to transform the economics of WiMAX and LTE, through a combination of advanced technology, an innovative product offering and the most cost-effective products. PureWave is developing small form-factor WiMAX base stations, which combine the power, performance and sophisticated features of a traditional macro base station, with the small footprint and competitive pricing of pico base stations. The products will leverage advanced beamforming technology that optimizes spectral efficiency, data throughput and range. The small form-factor WiMAX base stations are designed for all outdoor installation, are tower, pole or wall mountable, and require no indoor shelter.
