ADC's Digivance Indoor Coverage Solution Gains FCC Approval; Completes Successful High-speed Wireless Communications Field Trial.Business Editors & Technology Writers MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 25, 2001 ADC (1) See A/D converter. (2) (Apple Display Connector) A peripheral connector from Apple that combines digital video display, USB and power in one cable. (Nasdaq:ADCT ADCT Adaptive Discrete Cosine Transform ; www.adc.com), a leading global supplier of fiber optics fiber optics, transmission of digitized messages or information by light pulses along hair-thin glass fibers. Each fiber is surrounded by a cladding having a high index of refractance so that the light is internally reflected and travels the length of the fiber , network equipment, software and integration services for broadband, multi-service networks, today announced the successful completion of high-speed wireless communications wireless communications System using radio-frequency, infrared, microwave, or other types of electromagnetic or acoustic waves in place of wires, cables, or fibre optics to transmit signals or data. field trial using Digivance(TM) Indoor Coverage Solutions (ICS (1) (Internet Connection Sharing) A Windows feature that enables two or more computers to share one Internet connection. First introduced in Windows 98 Second Edition, sharing is accomplished with network address translation (NAT), which is the common method. ), the industry's first all-digital wireless indoor coverage solution. Concurrently, ADC also announced that Digivance ICS has been fully tested and approved by the Federal Communications Commission Federal Communications Commission (FCC), independent executive agency of the U.S. government established in 1934 to regulate interstate and foreign communications in the public interest. (FCC (1) (Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC, www.fcc.gov) The U.S. government agency that regulates interstate and international communications including wire, cable, radio, TV and satellite. The FCC was created under the U.S. ). This approval assures that Digivance ICS is in complete compliance with all applicable FCC rules and regulations, and is fully approved for in-building wireless communications. The Digivance ICS is the only all-digital 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) to provide digitized optical transport of RF signals within or between buildings and is the initial product in ADC's Digivance(TM) family of digital RF transport solutions for managing and increasing wireless coverage and capacity. During the field trial, ADC teamed with one of the nation's largest wireless service providers and delivered the Digivance solution to enable coverage inside a 100-year old, multi-story structure. Previously, the building was only able to support limited coverage with faint signals and mobile emergency 911 access was not available ubiquitously. "Prior to the installation of Digivance ICS, there was either no service available or poor call quality within the test facility," said Jeff Quiram, ADC's president of Broadband Infrastructure. "In deploying Digivance ICS, we increased performance by a factor of 20X and demonstrated significantly higher reliability than typical macro coverage, in addition to offering installation ease and architectural flexibility." The Digivance ICS, by utilizing a fully digital platform, offers a number of advantages over current analog methods of RF extension (twisted pair, coax, fiber or microwave): -- Transportation of the signal is transparent to modulation technology (CDMA/TDMA/GSM/AMPS/GPRS), making it applicable for virtually any system and any wireless carrier. -- The system is less dependent on fiber lengths, eliminating signal degradation and loss caused by use of splitters. -- The higher dynamic range increases the capability for data throughput, resulting in greater versatility while maximizing indoor wireless coverage and capacity. The Digivance ICS was first unveiled in Chicago during the PCIA PCIA Personal Communications Industry Association PCIA Personal Care Ingredients Asia PCIA Parent-Child Interaction Assessment (structured direct observation procedure) PCIA Professional Concepts Insurance Agency, Inc. GlobalXChange tradeshow in September of 2000 and is currently available for order. About ADC ADC is The Broadband Company(TM).
