wimax future, pure play

Ever hear of WiFi? Think it's going places? How about WiMax? It only has a range of 30 miles compared with WiFi's 300 feet. You read that right.

Alvarion has developed the WiMax technology, and they're moving it worldwide. It's only a matter of time before they take their proprietary patented system into the USA. It's all over the world today. Rumor has it they're working with Intel on the system, but I sure couldn't confirm that.

The fundamentals are strong, the growth potential is enormous. Talk about a ground floor opporunity on a new technology that is certain to take off. If you're not in ALVR now, get in before it makes the move to par and beyond.

It's working well for me. And Sept 30 news is that Cisco is looking at them for potential to buy-out. Next earnings: Nov 1. Watch this one!
