ST. PETERSBURG, FL--(Marketwire - 08/17/10) - Infrax Systems, Inc. (OTC.BB:IFXY - News), a global provider of unified Smart Grid-related products and services for the Energy and Utility industries, today announced the availability of the first upgradable WiMAX/LTE base stations. This upgrade option provides for a migration from WiMAX (802.16e) to Long Term Evolution (LTE) capability without replacing the Base Station. As the Infrax Base Stations are FPGA based, one can change and update the core networking protocols and the channel sizes in the field making these the most flexible 4G base stations available. These modular 4G base stations can even provide the ability to change to a different frequency by changing radio modules to provide more longevity of the platform and protect network operator's investments.

Infrax's wireless communications products are a core component of Automated Metering and Substation Automation projects for Utilities. By enabling advanced, reliable communications in a variety of frequency ranges, the products have a broad application range. These WiMAX / LTE base stations can be used in different frequency ranges, such as 2.3-2.6 GHz, 3.3-3.8 GHz or 700 MHz and can also be modified to operate in the "White Space" UHF frequency range 470-860 MHz.

Gone are the days where network operators had to compromise when selecting their technology. In the battle between WiMAX and LTE, Infrax is uniquely positioned to provide not only either solution, but to allow clients to upgrade their existing WiMAX base stations to full LTE capability simply and cost effectively. As the wireless industry continues to pit WiMAX against LTE in an epic battle for 4G supremacy, with Infrax the 4G future is not an either/or proposition.

As utilities and wireless service providers roll out applications requiring greater throughput and increased reliability, this modular and scalable product line provides high performance, efficient, broadband wireless networks with the lowest OPEX and CAPEX in the industry.
