Aperto Networks, a supplier of WiMAX base stations and subscriber units, announced on Tuesday (1 April) at the CTIA Wireless show in Las Vegas, USA that its PacketMAX solution now supports the 3.65GHz and 4.9GHz frequency bands for delivering broadband wireless services in the US.

According to the company, Aperto's Fixed WiMAX solution now supports 5.8GHz, 5.4GHz, 5.1GHz, 4.9GHz, 3.65GHz, 3.5GHz and 3.3GHz bands. In addition, the company's Mobile WiMAX solution supports 2.3GHz, 2.5GHz, 3.3GHz, 3.5GHz and 3.8GHz.

The PacketMAX family of products reportedly delivers key elements required to extend wireless broadband services to a wide range of users, ranging from governments, large enterprises and public-sector organisations to multi-tenant buildings and residences, using a single, standards-based platform. Aperto's PacketMAX 5000 base station can support and operate both the IEEE 802.16-2004 and IEEE 802.16-2005 WiMAX standards simultaneously, as well as licensed and license-exempt frequencies.
