Alvarion (NASDAQ: ALVR), the world's leading provider of 4G networks in the Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) market, announced today that Dr Mo Shakouri, Corporate Vice-President of Innovation and Marketing, was honoured at 4G World by the Wireless Communications Association International (WCAI), the global trade association of the wireless broadband industry, with the Innovation Achievement Award for his countless contributions to the 4G industry.
An industry visionary and well-known expert in the field of 4G communications, Shakouri serves on Alvarion's executive management team along with prominent roles in the industry, such as vice-president of the WiMax Forum and a member of the WCAI and WiMax Forum Board of Directors.
“I am extremely honoured to receive this recognition,” said Shakouri. “It has been exciting to see the application of 4G wireless broadband grow into what it is today. I look forward to the many new opportunities that 4G technologies will bring for our industry.”
The 2010 WCAI Awards Programme also recognised Julius Knapp, Chief of the FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology (OET), with the Government Leadership Award for his strong efforts in helping enable broadband services in underserved and rural areas throughout USA.
“It is with great pleasure that WCAI presented an award to someone who has been a passionate wireless innovator,” said Fred Campbell, WCAI president and CEO. “Mo has been instrumental in growing WiMax into a multibillion-dollar industry, and he is widely recognised as a global voice for 4G technologies. Without his tireless efforts, we likely wouldn't have seen the incredible growth in 4G deployments over the last several years.”
Shakouri has been instrumental in growing WiMax into a mainstream 4G technology through his efforts in multiple geographies around the world. In addition to his industry leadership positions with the WCAI and WiMax Forum, Shakouri also serves on the advisory board for the Wireless Communication Alliance and is an IEEE MTT-SVC 2004 chairman.
