2Safe Harbor
This presentation contains forward -looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on the current expectations or beliefs of Alvarion’s management and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward -looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements: potential impact on our business of the spread of the U.S. credit crisis and current global recession, the failure of the market for WIMAX products to develop as anticipated; Alvarion’s inability to capture market share in the expected growth of the WIMAX market as anticipated, due to, among other things, competitive reasons or failure to execute in our sales, marketing or manufacturing objectives; inability to further identify, develop and achieve success for new products, services and technologies; increased competition and its effect on pricing, spending, third-party relationships and revenues; as well as the inability to establish and maintain relationships with commerce, advertising, marketing, and technology providers and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s Annual Report Risk Factors section as well as in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

7Railway Communication Network
All trains have one or more operational communication systems onboard, to be used when the train is moving such as :
TETRA: European standard for digital radio transmission 300, 400, 800 and 900 MHzGSMR: GSM standard to address the demands of railway communications (900 MHz)Satellite connection
Most of these systems are backed up by a regular VHF radio.
All communication equipment on trains must comply with strict standards such as:
EN 50121-3-2 EMC immunity for railway rolling stock apparatusIEC 61373 - shock and vibration for railway equipment UL 2043 - fire and fumes standard
8Railway Communication Network
Operational communication system requires an infrastructure alongside the tracks such as: GSMR/TETRA base stations, signaling poles, tracksensors, etc. Many railway companies have fiber or copper networks which using tracks as physical infrastructureRailway company properties are usually alongside tracks but out of reach of core network infrastructureThere is a demand to connect remote company facilities to center
9The Network Paradox
Operational network is mission critical, therefore it is not alwayspossible to connect additional links at any required location
Crossing with traffic lights andFiber entry point (fiber switch)
Cameras within 2 km of crossing will be unable to access core despite being physically on top of fiber infrastructure
Fiber
2 Km
Fiber Entry Point
10Addressing the Challenge
Using wireless links to connect remote locations to nearest available core network entry point:
PtP and PtMP to connect special security cameras alongside track and in road crossingsPtP and PtMP to connect remote facilities such as storage and maintenance centers

14CCTV in Railway Facilities
Railway operations typically require large facilities such as train stations and train or classification yards
Facilities require high level of security and safety equipment
CCTV systems are essential and sometimes mandatory
Wireless solutions can differentiate between simple and fast implementation to costly or no implementation

16Train Data Upon Arrival in Terminal
Several computers on board trains auditing information:• Engine performance • Train speed and acceleration• Video from internal CCTV system • On-board ticket purchasing
Data extracted by IT department is used for safety, security, maintenance or commercial analysis Extraction is usually performed manually, either by removing the DVR/Black box hard drive or by connecting physical cable to train
17Wireless Solution
Wireless connection can improve data extraction processWireless operational communication systems are not designed to transfer large amounts of data
Deploying a Wi-Fi network enables downloading data from trains upon reaching terminal or maintenance depot
18Data Upload to Trains
Wi-Fi network communicating with train at terminal can be used to upload data to train at each station
Data examples:Updating passenger information system (PIS) with location-based advertisements, weather, news or travel information Updating automatic PA system onboard train
Sao Paulo Metro PIS updated by Alvarion’s WiFi network
