WiNetworks, a pioneer and leader in the development and integration of WiMAX network technologies, recently announced that the company has successfully raised $19 Million in financing.  The company further announced that the funds from the third round of financing will be used to expand the Win-Max® family of mobile WiMAX base station products and to increase market penetration around the world. 

The Win-Max family of mobile WiMAX products includes the WiN7000, an all-outdoor compact base station, and the WiN7200, a scalable, single piece mini base station. WiNetworks has already received orders for over $17 Million and has begun shipments of the WiN7000 Compact Base Stations which will be used in the commercial deployment of mobile, fixed and nomadic WiMAX networks. All Win-Max products are based on the mobile WiMAX 802.16e Wave 2 (MIMO) profile.

The WiN7200 Pico Base Station is the next generation of mobile WiMAX base stations that will provide dedicated outdoor coverage and in-building services and capacity. The smaller size allows for indoor/outdoor installations making WiMAX available to indoor broadband users. The WiN7200 Pico Base Station will be available for field trials by mid 2008.
