Dow Jones Description
Airspan Networks Inc. ("Airspan" or the "Company") is a global supplier of broadband wireless equipment supporting the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access ("WiMAX") protocol standard, which provides a wide area telecommunication access network to connect end-users to telecom backbone networks. The WiMAX standard is established by the WiMAX Forum ® , a self-regulatory, industry standards-setting organization. While our main product focus is WiMAX, we utilize other supplemental technologies, including Wireless Fidelity ("Wi-Fi") and Voice-over-Internet Protocol ("VoIP"), which allow communications network operators and service providers to deliver high-speed data and voice services cost-effectively using wireless communications rather than wired infrastructure. Historically, the primary market for our wireless systems has been fixed (stationary) point to multi-point applications. Our development of new technology has expanded the market to include portable and mobile applications. Today, we produce radio base station equipment to transmit radio signals from a central location to the end-user who is equipped with a subscriber receiving unit. Our WiMAX products enable high speed connectivity due to efficient transmission techniques. ...
