Infrax Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: IFXY), a global provider of unified
Smart Grid-related products and services for the Energy and Utility
industries, today announced the availability of a new upgradeable
WiMAX/LTE base station. This new base station option allows network
operators and service providers to utilize the desirable 1.4-1.6
GHz frequencies. The addition of these new base stations will
provide operators of rural broadband networks better range than the
typical 2.5 or 3.5 GHz WiMAX. These new base stations also have the
capability of being upgraded from WiMAX (802.16e) to Long Term
Evolution (LTE) via firmware. These modular 4G base stations can
even provide the ability to change to a different frequency by
changing radio modules to provide more longevity of the platform
and protect network operator's investments.
The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act appropriated $7.2
billion for the Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service
(RUS) and the Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications
Information Administration (NTIA) to expand broadband access and
adoption in communities across the U.S., which will increase jobs,
spur investments in technology and infrastructure, and provide
long-term economic benefits.
Infrax's wireless communications products are also a core
component of Automated Metering and Substation Automation projects
for Utilities. By enabling advanced, reliable communications in a
variety of frequency ranges, the products have a broad application
range. These new WiMAX / LTE base stations can now be used in
different frequency ranges, such as 2.3-2.6 GHz, 3.3-3.8 GHz as
well the 1.4-1.6 GHz.
Gone are the days where network operators had to compromise when
selecting their technology. In the battle between WiMAX and LTE,
Infrax is uniquely positioned to provide not only either solution,
but to allow clients to upgrade their existing WiMAX base stations
to full LTE capability simply and cost effectively. As the wireless
industry continues to pit WiMAX against LTE in an epic battle for
4G supremacy, with Infrax the 4G future is not an either/or
proposition.
As utilities and wireless service providers roll out
applications requiring greater throughput and increased
reliability, this modular and scalable product line provides high
performance, efficient, broadband wireless networks with the lowest
OPEX and CAPEX in the industry.
