Sep. 9, 2009 (Business Wire) -- ADC (NASDAQ: ADCT)(www.adc.com) today announced that it will demonstrate a complete and highly flexible portfolio of 4G infrastructure solutions at the 4G World 2009 show, being held in Chicago’s McCormick Place, September 15-18, 2009. By implementing ADC’s unique micro-cellular architecture, these solutions enable carriers to deploy WiMAX or LTE services rapidly while saving 50 to 60 percent over the cost of traditional macro network architecture.
ADC’s FlexWave™ MMX 6000 WiMAX pico cells can be deployed in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost of traditional macro network base stations. Lightweight and ruggedized for outdoor use, these base stations can be mounted on poles, walls, ceilings, or street furniture to deliver precision coverage with high capacity in any location. When combined with InterReach® Fusion and Unison in-building DAS solutions, ADC WiMAX pico cells allow wireless operators to place base stations in centralized, cost-effective locations and then easily distribute signals through a network of antennas. These solutions support high-capacity applications of any size or scale, including urban cores, rural and small communities, university and enterprise campuses, subways and stadiums.
“The properties of WiMAX and LTE require a small cell architecture, and ADC is the only vendor offering a comprehensive portfolio of 4G network solutions that can be deployed anywhere,” said Dick Parran, president of the Network Solutions Business Unit for ADC. “As the leading provider of microcellular infrastructures that deliver precisely the right amount of coverage and capacity in any area, ADC makes the transition to 4G services easy and cost-effective for service providers of any size.”
ADC’s place-anywhere solutions ensure the necessary data throughput and capacity management for a reliable 4G network, and are designed to save up to 50 percent or more on the cost of deployment:
- ADC’s FlexWave MMX 6000 Pico WiMAX Base Station weighs just 8 pounds and can deliver the same capacity and throughput as traditional BTS costing 10 times as much. FlexWave MMX 6000 base stations can be aggregated to deliver any amount of capacity, and their signals can be distributed throughout indoor areas via InterReach Fusion and InterReach Unison DAS products.
- ADC's all-digital FlexWave Prism solution offers unparalleled flexibility in delivering 4G wireless services closer to the customer with superior voice quality and industry-leading data rate performance. Prism enables operators to leverage existing network assets more cost-effectively by deploying an underlay of 4G services. Using an industry-first, all-digital distributed architecture, Prism supports higher data rates, higher spectral efficiencies, and lower CAPEX/OPEX then competing solutions. Prism supports SISO and MIMO architectures and with unique digital simulcast capabilities offers superior MIMO performance by enabling great physical separation or widely spaced antennas.
- ADC’s InterReach Fusion and InterReach Unison are the industry’s leading in-building DAS solutions, offering easier deployment and better performance with high uniform signal strength at every antenna. These products now support 700MHz LTE and 2.5 GHz WiMAX with both MIMO and SISO configuration options. InterReach Fusion supports multiple service providers with one set of electronics, making it ideal for public venues where management must support wireless voice and data service for all users.
