Aperto Networks (Aperto), a company building carrier-grade WiMAX base stations and subscriber units, has confirmed that its 5GHz WiMAX solution has been certified for use in the Republic of Ukraine.

Aperto said the certification relates to its line of WiMAX Forum Certified PacketMAX base stations, including the PM 5000 macro base station and the PM 3000 micro base station, along with the PM 3xx series and PM 1xx series of subscriber units.

Aperto's PacketMAX range offers the elements needed to extend wireless broadband services to a broad range of users, from governments, public sector organisations and large enterprises to multi-tenet buildings and residences.

The company's PacketMAX 5000 base station is reportedly the only carrier grade base station to support and operate the IEEE802.16-2004 and IEEE802.16-2005 WiMAX standards simultaneously. In addition, PacketMAX supports a broad range of licensed and licensed-exempt frequencies, including the 2.5GHz, 3.5GHz, 4.9GHz and 5GHz bands.

According to Aperto, 5GHz WiMAX products are important for Ukraine's broadband market, with the WiMAX band recognised internationally as a powerful complement to the 2.xGHz and 3.xGHz bands.
