Tel-Aviv, Israel – November 2, 2009 - RADWIN (www.radwin.com), a leading provider of Backhaul and Broadband Wireless Solutions, today announced that its RADWIN 2000 microwave radio received USDA Rural Development acceptance and “Buy American” status from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service. RUS (Rural Utilities Service) acceptance and “Buy American” status are required for service providers who request federal funds from the Broadband Initiative program (BIP), which is part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), for the purpose of purchasing and deploying broadband networks and services.

RADWIN 2000 is widely deployed throughout the US by leading service providers and cellular carriers for applications such as Cellular and IP backhaul and broadband access. The sub-6 GHz radios present a new level of reliability and ease of installation, delivering high capacity of up to 100 Mbps and long range of up to 75 miles, with advanced technologies such as OFDM and MIMO inside. Delivering multiple frequency bands over a single platform, the RADWIn 2000 Multi-band radio ensures utmost transmission resiliency and field flexibility.

Ilan Moshe, President, RADWIN USA, stated: “We are honored that RADWIN 2000 was accepted by RUS and excited to participate in RUS funded projects, which will accelerate connectivity across rural America and help bridge the digital divide. Our systems fit many of the rural deployment scenarios where there are sparsely populated communities and ARPU is relatively low, because there is just a one-time investment and fast ROI. Now service providers can utilize federal funds to extend connectivity with RADWIN 2000 and reach more people in more communities.”

RADWIN Chosen by Arvada Fire Department in USA for High-Capacity Connectivity
- RADWIN’s wireless broadband systems connect Fire Stations, providing dedicated, long-range connectivity - 

Tel-Aviv, Israel – October 14, 2009 - RADWIN (www.radwin.com), a leading provider of Backhaul and Broadband Wireless Solutions, today announced that the Arvada Fire Department in Colorado, USA, chose RADWIN’s systems to connect Fire stations to headquarters and provide high-capacity, long-range connectivity. Telworx, RADWIN’s Certified US Partner, was the distributor for the project.

Scott Winberg, IT specialist, Arvada Fire Department, stated: “We were previously leasing T1 lines and paying tens of thousands of dollars per year to connect our stations with headquarters. Additionally, one of the stations was also the data center and the 1.5 Mbps was simply not adequate for our needs. We had previously looked at a licensed radio network, but found it was too expensive and that it would take years to recoup our investment. We then decided to evaluate license-free wireless broadband systems because they presented a compelling price/performance offering. Today, following the deployment of RADWIN’s radios, we couldn’t be happier with their high capacity and performance.”

Chris Day, Vice-President of Wireless Sales, Telworx, stated: “We knew RADWIN’s systems were perfect for this project based on previous successes. We deployed a combination of WinLink 1000 and RADWIN 2000 systems, and the Arvada Fire Department now has a 48 Mbps net throughput connection between the data center and HQ and at least 15 Mbps to all the stations. They expect to have an ROI of about 12-14 months while increasing their service to each location by at a factor of 10X or more.”

Ilan Moshe, President, RADWIN US, stated: “We our proud to serve the Arvada Fire Department. Our systems meet the mission-critical Voice & Data needs of First Responders such as Fire, Police and Emergency services. With our systems in place, Emergency Services can connect stations and benefit from a high-speed, reliable connection at a competitive price.”
