2009 APR - (VerticalNews.com) -- Airvana, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIRV), the company transforming the mobile experience, is using the upcoming CTIA Wireless 2009, taking place in Las Vegas from April 1-3, to showcase its pioneering mobile broadband technology and demonstrate how it can be applied to change the way subscribers think about, use, and depend upon their mobile devices - both indoors and outside. Visitors to Airvana's booth (8035) will see live demonstrations of the company's HubBub(TM) femtocell highlighting its industry-leading capacity, performance and support for femtozone applications, while CTIA attendees can learn more about the future of the evolution of mobile broadband focusing on 1xEVDO Rev. B, HSPA and beyond.
The live CTIA demonstrations using both UMTS HSPA and CDMA EVDO technology show how the HubBub femtocell can bridge a user's connected digital home with a rich mobile life enabled by recent smart phone innovations like the iPhone 3G, HTC Touch Diamond and the Blackberry Storm. The HubBub forms a connection between these two worlds, and by leveraging accurate presence information and local breakout capability, it can be used to create unique femtozone services (see Airvana Connected Digital Home announcement for CTIA).
In addition to the live demonstrations, Airvana will also be showcasing the innovative femtocell designs of its expanding CPE partner list, such as Hitachi, Motorola, Pirelli and Thomson. One example of these novel designs is the Motorola KeepMeConnected(TM) Femtocells CDMA 9100 Series, a combination touch screen digital photo frame and femtocell. The product, which is a finalist in this year's CTIA ETech Awards program, is powered by Airvana's HubBub CDMA femtocell module.
Airvana will also demonstrate the HubBub's industry-leading capacity and performance at CTIA, including the ability to support a large household's voice calls and very high speed data rates, which in many cases approach the peak rate potential of the technology. HubBub is the only CDMA femtocell to support both traditional voice and EV-DO broadband data services in the same device. The results being shown at CTIA were previously proven in voice and data capacity tests by multiple mobile operators, most recently by a top-tier mobile operator in Asia. Further, Airvana will be offering a white paper that details results from its recent user experience labs program where the CDMA HubBub delivered consistent data rates that reached 2 Mbps in all corners of subscribers' homes.
As part of the CTIA conference program, Airvana's Director of Product Management, Harjot Saluja, will present an "Update on EV-DO Rev. B" during the CDMA Development Group's (CDG) CDMA2000/LTE Workshop. Saluja's presentation, taking place April 1 from 2:50-3:10 pm PT, will provide a market update on this important mobile broadband technology including equipment availability, planned deployments, benefits and implementation strategies.
"The activities we are undertaking at CTIA Wireless 2009 will showcase the many ways in which Airvana is leading the wave of innovation taking place in the mobile broadband market," explained Dave Nowicki, vice president of marketing and product management. "From high capacity femtocells that enable pioneering femtozone applications to our expertise about EV-DO Rev B and how this will impact mobile operators, Airvana is changing the game for mobile broadband."
