:ADCT ADCT Adaptive Discrete Cosine Transform ) (www.adc.com) today announced that Duke University Medical Center, together with its key Wireless Service Provider, has selected ADC's wireless Digivance[R] Indoor Coverage Solution (ICS) to provide wireless coverage inside its hospitals.

The Digivance ICS was custom-tailored to fit the university's needs for a flexible architecture that leverages the Duke Medical Center's existing fiber infrastructure, minimizes the amount of additional hardware it needs to install and offers the least invasive solution.

ADC worked with the university to secure coverage with a third major service provider that resulted in the Medical Center's ability to provide service to its employees as well as patients and their visitors. ADC's Digivance ICS wireless system can expand to accommodate additional Wireless Service Providers as needed as needed prn. See prn order. . The system's plug-and-play architecture allows solution growth as the campus radio frequency (RF) coverage expands to new areas.

The Digivance ICS, ADC's Distributed Antenna System As defined by PCIA - the Wireless Infrastructure Association, and it's DAS Forum, A Distributed Antenna System ,or DAS, is a network of spatially separated antenna nodes connected to a common source via a transport medium that provides wireless service within a geographic area or  (DAS), augments wireless coverage within hospital buildings while minimizing the risk of interference to medical equipment. It does this by distributing mobile phone coverage throughout the buildings with a series of Digital Remote Units (DRUs) and Digital Expansion Units (DEUs). By careful placement of the remote and expansion units, wireless coverage can be customized to meet the requirements of any facility. Coverage can be added to difficult-to-reach areas, such as basements, tunnels, and shielded rooms by installing the remote units in those locations. Moreover, coverage areas can be expanded by adding or even daisy-chaining the expansion units without the need for RF re-optimization. Multiple areas, floors, or even multiple buildings can be covered with uniform "digital quality" signals. The architecture permits solution expansion throughout the campus without degradation of signal quality.

All equipment is connected via Duke's existing fiber backbone with the ability to route digital signals through the university's I.T. patch panels A group of sockets used to connect incoming and outgoing lines in communications and electronic systems. Patch panels allow for manually wiring the connections with small cables (patch cords), rather than automatic switching.  throughout the campus. This capability reduced the need for massive amounts of fiber, thereby reducing labor costs and time-to-market.
