TEL-AVIV, Israel, June 9, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- RADWIN (http://www.radwin.com), the leading provider of Backhaul and Broadband Wireless Solutions, today announced that the Syracuse Housing Authority (SHA) chose its wireless links to connect properties and campuses to boost capacity of its Wide Area Broadband Network. The Syracuse Housing Authority is an organization that provides safe and affordable housing in the Syracuse NY area. Transwave Communications Systems Inc., the NY-based system integrator, was in charge of implementing SHA's private network.

David Paccone, Senior Management Analyst at Syracuse Housing Authority, stated: "The Syracuse Housing Authority is spread across much of the city which created the demand for greater efficiency of our Wide Area Network. Over the years we've utilized a variety of technologies - ranging from microwave, cable modem services and standard telecom services. Of all these technologies, RADWIN's microwave solutions have proven to be the most reliable, cost effective and robust for our growing bandwidth needs. With RADWIN links we can provide high-capacity connectivity to the edge sites and support a range of applications from day-to-day data transfer, security applications, building controls, video, security and more."

David Bassanello at Transwave Communications Systems, stated: "We assessed the needs of the Syracuse Housing Authority and found that a major boost in bandwidth was required to support all their properties. The RADWIN 2000 microwave links were ideal for the last mile segments of this project. These highly reliable and robust links provide up to 50 Mbps Full Duplex Ethernet connectivity over a wide range of path lengths. RADWIN's radios also incorporate an advanced multi-band feature that supports multiple bands in the same radio, including 4.9 GHz, 2.4 GHz and the three 5 GHz frequency bands."
