EION’s WiMAX Training initiative provides strategic value to customers
in Africa & the Middle East.
Ottawa, Canada & Dubai, UAE – November 18, 2006 – EION Wireless, a global provider of Broadband Wireless Access and Backhaul products, today announced the launching of its new WiMAX Essentials Certificate & EION Product Specific Certification and training initiative. This comes on the heels of EION’s recent introduction at the WiMAX World Forum in Boston, USA of its Libra MAX™ WiMAX Platform product family. The Libra MAX architecture, a versatile platform for WiMAX broadband wireless networks and for integrating EION’s IP Intelligence, is an evolution of the field-proven Libra MX products acquired by EION from Wi-LAN Inc. in April 2006. Dual-mode operation, part of the Libra MAX architecture, means operators can roll-out industry standard 802.16-2004 WiMAX interoperable public networks as well as proprietary Turbo W-OFDM networks when service requirements dictate greater security and performance.
EION’s new wireless training initiative offers both WiMAX Essentials Wireless Engineer Certificate & EION Product Specific Wireless Engineer Certificate training courses to the engineering and management community of Licensed Wireless Internet Service Providers - WISP, Telecom Operators, Telecom Regulatory Agencies, Cellular GSM Operators, University Communities and Private Enterprises in the Africa, Middle East & Central Asia Markets.
