BFi OPTiLAS: E-Band Communications and BFi OPTiLAS Sign Distribution Agreement BFi OPTiLAS to Market, Sell and Support E-Band's GigE Broadband Wireless Products

Milton Keynes, UK, Mar 06, 2009 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- BFi OPTiLAS, a value-added pan-European distributor with headquarters in Evry, France, today announced that it has signed a distribution agreement with E-Band Communications Corp., a leading developer of multi-gigabit capacity wireless communication systems based on 70/80GHz millimetre wave radio technology. BFi OPTiLAS will market E-Band Communications' line of Gigabit Ethernet wireless products throughout the United Kingdom and Europe.

"E-Band has the highest performance 70/80GHz GigE product on the market, with GigE all the time and a 10dB larger link budget than the nearest competitor," said Ian Stevens, Sales Manager of BFi OPTiLAS' UK wireless business unit. "Our channel partners are looking for the best wireless products available, and E-Band's GigE all the time and low latency certainly meets that requirement." E-Band's technology provides solutions for interconnection and backhaul of 4G, WiMAX, LTE, and other mobile networks as well as Gigabit Ethernet last mile access, fibre backup, and network extension applications.

E-Band's Layer-1 system fits easily into existing networks because E-Link acts more like a piece of fibre than a complicated network element. This allows the end customer to have a common network architecture whether they are using their own fibre, someone else's dark fibre or E-Band's GigE wireless links. This approach also allows for quick and easy installation into any existing network, which makes this product highly suitable for emergency and disaster recovery applications.

"BFi OPTiLAS has a proven ability to expand the GigE wireless market throughout the UK and Europe," said Kirk Byles, Vice President of Global Sales at E-Band. "Their focus on providing the right wireless product coupled with in-house design services and a history of providing outstanding pre-sales and post-sales support represents considerable value to E-Band as we welcome BFi OPTiLAS to be part of our team."
