Santa Clara, Calif. – January 26, 2011 – BridgeWave Communications, the leading supplier of 4G backhaul solutions, announced today that its FlexPort µWave has received a 2010 4GWE Product of the Year Award from TMC and Crossfire Media.

FlexPort µWave, the first licensed microwave product in BridgeWave's FlexPort product portfolio, is capable of transmitting full-rate gigabit Ethernet in a single, compact, all-outdoor unit.

“We are honored to receive this award for outstanding innovation,” said Amir Makleff, president and CEO of BridgeWave. “The FlexPort µWave was developed to help address the bandwidth requirements of 4G and LTE networks. As more carriers look to migrate to higher capacity networks, products like our FlexPort µWave provide the ability to scale networks at operators' pace; efficiently managing their networks and controlling costs.”

“I congratulate BridgeWave for being honored with a 4GWE Product of the Year Award for their advancement of 4G technologies. The entire wireless industry looks forward to more innovative solutions from them in the coming year,” Carl Ford, founder and community developer, Crossfire Media.
