Alvarion® Ltd . (NASDAQ: ALVR), a provider of optimized wireless broadband solutions addressing the connectivity, coverage and capacity challenges of public and private networks, announced today, that AirNet Ltd., a local ISP in Bulgaria, deployed its carrier-grade Wi-Fi solution for delivering wireless connectivity at the Albena Resort area along the coast of the Black Sea in Bulgaria.
