Almere, April 30, 2007 - Hopling Technologies, a rapidly growing technology leader in IP-based wireless networking equipment for enterprises, operators and service providers, announced today new building-to-buildings WiMAX ready products. The new Xnet Raptor product-line addresses a wide range of data, voice, video and redundancy applications that can deliver significant time and cost savings for amongst others: enterprises, government agencies, the public sector, universities, public safety, campuses, municipalities and wireline and wireless ISPs.

The Xnet Raptor products are standard equipped with the Hopling Discovery Protocol (HDP) for automatic checking neighboring (conflicting) systems, HopWARE Stumbler, HopWARE Console Interface, enhanced PoE, an intuitive Web User Interface and the new Hopling Channel Protocol (HCP), which allows a full-duplex throughput of more than 40Mb/s. The Xnet Raptor can also be equipped with a GPS module for easy accessing and controlled database administration.

The Xnet Raptor is targeting point-to-multipoint connectivity and high capacity access applications, such as real-time video, voice, and data services. The Xnet Raptor will be positioned to deliver building-to-buildings broadband services for companies, government agencies, the public sector, universities, public safety, campuses, municipalities and service providers and can be deployed in almost any environment.

Currently in field trials, the Xnet Raptor will first be available in the 5GHz band and later in other unlicensed and licensed bands and can be easily co-deployed and integrated with other Hopling Technologies products. The Xnet Raptor incorporates robust outdoor technologies to provide broadband connections for data, voice and video applications, and is an ideal alternative to expensive leased lines, providing a quick way to establish high bandwidth links, unlock industrial zones and connect remote offices to headquarters.
