    Ubiquiti Networks Announces Next Generation Infrastructure For Fixed Wireless Broadband Market

    "We believe fixed wireless access technology is among the most cost effective
    and capital-efficient ways to bring Internet connectivity to underserved
    communities around the world," said Robert J. Pera, CEO at Ubiquiti Networks.
    "With our next-generation infrastructure platform, our WISP customers can tap
    into a large, high growth market that is uniquely positioned to help close the
    digital divide and create greater social equality."

    In a recent study conducted by research firm IDC, Fixed Wireless Access:
    Global and Regional Market Opportunity, it was estimated that fixed wireless
    access is growing at 21.8% CAGR through 2017, making it one of the
    fastest-growing broadband access technologies and the most viable alternative
    to cable, DSL, fiber and satellite. This growth represents a projected $5.9B
    service revenue opportunity for service providers in 2014.

    Ubiquiti's innovative technology and disruptive pricing combine to make fixed
    wireless broadband an increasingly attractive technology for Internet
    connectivity. Fixed wireless connections have a rapid ROI for operators, do
    not require 'last mile' trenching or cabling, and can be deployed in areas
    with limited infrastructure.

    Ubiquiti's latest cutting-edge advancements include:

    airMAX®: A leading platform for point-to-multipoint and point-to-point fixed
    wireless access (typically used to provide 'last mile' broadband Internet
    access to home and businesses);
