Telecom operator RACSA will implement Alvarion’s solution.

Alvarion Ltd. (Nasdaq: ALVR; TASE: ALVR) has sold its BreezeMAX WiMAX platform to Costa Rican operator RACSA to provide extended wireless access services to business and residential customers in several major cities in the country. Coasin is Alvarion's local partner for this deployment project.
