Business Summary
As a leading provider of WiMAX-class multiservice broadband wireless access systems for global markets. Aperto was founded to provide a breakthrough solution to one of today's critical network bottlenecks - limited availability of last mile broadband access to millions of prospective users worldwide. Aperto's PacketWave system provides a family of base stations, subscriber units and associated radios and antennas in 2.5, 3.5 and 5 GHz frequency bands for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint deployments. Its scalable systems and patented technology support new wireless builds and complement existing wireline broadband access technology.

The company's newly announced PacketMAX portfolio will provide carriers unprecedented range in the types and tiers of services and features it can now deliver to residential and business subscribers worldwide. The PacketMAX system, based on an Advanced TCA (Telecom Computing Architecture) chassis, gives carriers the full benefits of a WiMax Forum-certified ecosystem, a clear path to portability and mobility, powerful voice over IP features, and a common platform shared with Aperto's existing PacketWave architecture. WiMAX Forum lab certification begins in July and limited production shipments for 3.5 GHz systems will start during the third quarter of 2005, followed shortly by 2.5 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, supporting all WiMAX Forum TDD profiles in all frequencies.

The company's technical experts bring strong system-level understanding of applications, carrier services, signaling, network protocols, physical and upper layer technologies. Principals have successfully developed and delivered multiple generations of carrier and enterprise wireless infrastructure. Aperto was a founding member and leading contributor to IEEE 802.16. It is a member of the ETSI-BRAN standards body, a WiMAX Forum Board Member, and chair of the Forum's Service Provider Working Group.

The PacketWave and PacketMAX systems provide a single coherent platform for delivering converged data, voice, and video services over an IP network. The IP-based system design allows service providers to develop end-to-end applications, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and web hosting, without the complexity of intervening transport protocols. They fit seamlessly into the service provider's overall network architecture without altering the existing routing and server infrastructure. The systems are also being used in diverse applications such as high capacity overlay networks for shorter-reach or lower-capacity networks; hot spot backhaul; and transport infrastructures for multiple service providers (carrier-of-carriers' networks).

Service providers in more than 60 countries have deployed PacketWave systems, because they meet carriers' needs for ease of installation, IP-rich network functionality and cost effectiveness, while enabling rapid provisioning and interference-resilient operation in dense urban to suburban locations. Aperto-powered networks serve broadband access services to thousands of demanding end users, including small and medium enterprises, multiple tenant buildings, and public sector organizations (schools, universities and government agencies).
