ADC's Digivance Digital DAS Solutions Enhance Wireless Access at University of Central Arkansas; Wireless Coverage Makes 24/7 Classrooms a Reality.

MINNEAPOLIS -- ADC (NASDAQ:ADCT) (www.adc.com), announced today that the University of Central Arkansas (UCA) has selected ADC's Digivance(R) Long-Range Coverage Solution (LRCS) and Indoor Coverage Solution (ICS) to deliver cellular access throughout the campus and inside buildings. UCA's improved wireless network enables students and faculty to have complete access to the university's network and other services using portable computers, mobile phones and other wireless communications devices.

UCA, located near Little Rock, Ark., is one of the most technologically advanced mid-sized universities in the United States. Since 2004, the university has provided a distributed computing environment with a state-of-the-art wireless network. With this campus network in place, UCA officials can maximize the use of their multi-million dollar wireless network by providing coverage anytime, anywhere for students, faculty and staff members.

However, wireless signals did not penetrate highly used basement classrooms, and coverage in and around buildings was unreliable. Digivance LRCS and ICS digital distributed antenna systems (D-DAS) solutions were selected to extend UCA cellular network coverage and add capacity without deploying costly base stations. Today, reliable wireless coverage is available throughout the campus, even in hard-to-reach areas.

"Students are growing up in a world of constant connectivity," said Dr. Ronald Toll, formerly dean of the school's College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics and special assistant to the president for Technology and Corporate Relations. "They don't consider wireless connectivity a luxury. They expect it, the way they expect a library to have books."

Rather than keep traditional learning to scheduled classes in particular locations, said Toll, UCA provides access to learning, experimentation, conversation and feedback in asynchronous space. Students can stream web-based information offered prior to class. In class they can conduct web-based research. Their presentations can blend audio and video media forms impossible without wireless. Dr. Toll currently serves as vice president for Academic Affairs and dean of faculty at Lebanon Valley College in Annville, PA.

ADC's Digivance solutions digitize the entire designated RF band, digitally transport it over fiber, and reconstruct the signal at full bandwidth, regardless of modulation technology or data rate. The Digivance family offers flexible, scalable solutions for a variety of applications, from a single building to a campus to a large city center and beyond to rural areas

"Digivance is an ideal solution for university campus environments because its scalable architecture will meet the university's requirements as it grows," said Mike Pratt, president of the Active Infrastructure Business Unit for ADC. "We are pleased to provide UCA students and faculty with high performance cellular voice and data coverage that enables learning opportunities around the clock."

In addition to the LRCS and ICS solutions, the Digivance product family includes the Digivance Street-Level Coverage Solution (SCS), the Digivance NXD for neutral host applications, and the Digivance CXD for compact, multi-band applications. ADC's portfolio also includes a complete line of ClearGain(R) tower-mounted amplifiers for service providers' wireless networks.
