SUPERCOMM 2002

Booth No. 12207

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 3, 2002

Emphasis Given to New Capex-Friendly, Revenue-Generating Solutions

for Telecommunications Service Providers

ADC (Nasdaq:ADCT; www.adc.com), will showcase its portfolio of products and services at SUPERCOMM 2002 (booth No. 12207) here, June 4 - 6. ADC also will announce several new initiatives designed to help carriers deliver broadband services to customers cost effectively, while at the same time generating new revenues.

As a member of the Telecommunications Industry Association, ADC has attended SUPERCOMM for the past 14 years. It is the industry's largest tradeshow in North America, and is attended by more than 30,000 visitors from around the world, including new and established service providers, journalists and industry analysts.

"It's vital for our service provider customers to find new ways to use existing equipment to deliver better and new services to their customers. ADC serves as a partner in making this happen," said Rick Roscitt, chairman and chief executive officer for ADC. "Our latest offerings help service providers save money, while improving their networks to reach more customers faster and more efficiently. At the same time, our DSL, wireless, connectivity, and software systems also are designed to help service providers find new ways to generate revenue, reduce customer churn and deliver the quality broadband applications that users demand."

Products Designed to Help Carriers Today

At SUPERCOMM, ADC will emphasize the development of a new category of solutions focused on multiservice delivery. For the first time, service providers can push broadband closer to homes using ADC's intelligent Access Network (iAN) platform. iAN serves as a gateway to help carriers deliver broadband cost-effectively via DSL. It removes current bandwidth constraints and integrates the DSLAM and DLC at the remote terminal to deliver voice, ADSL and video services today, and compelling new broadband services in the future. iAN is also cost efficient, relying on existing copper plant equipment. A live broadband network demonstration featuring iAN's capabilities will be on display at ADC's SUPERCOMM exhibit booth.

ADC also will feature its new Soneplex/HiGain HDSL4 T1 access product - the industry leading two-repeater HDSL4 solution. Soneplex/HiGain HDSL4 gives service providers the ability to deliver T1 services to customers beyond Carrier Service Area (CSA) range, reaching customers up to 46,000 feet beyond the CSA without expensive outside plant installations for repeaters and without interfering with sensitive ADSL circuits. Soneplex/HiGain HDSL4 has been deployed in several North American carrier networks.

For wireless service providers, ADC launched a new Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service (UMTS) version of its Digivance Long-Range Coverage Solution (LRCS). Digivance LRCS is the first and only all-digital RF transport system for enhancing coverage and capacity for wireless operators. It is designed to improve wireless networks by extending seamless wireless coverage from existing cell sites to hard-to-reach areas or distributing capacity from centralized radio suites.

ADC's new ClearGain(TM) tower-mounted amplifier system, designed to boost wireless signals for use in 2G and next-generation (2.5 and 3G) wireless telecommunications networks, also will be featured. ClearGain amplifies the signal level for mobile communications, enabling wireless operators to increase a tower's coverage area, improve signal quality, and improve signal capacity. As a result, service providers can offer new next-generation services that provide them additional revenue opportunities. ADC's ClearGain products cover the entire spectrum of frequencies used for mobile communications worldwide.

ADC's market-leading connectivity products including FiberGuide(TM), and high-density copper and fiber cable connectivity solutions for core networks, metro solutions and network edge solutions will be on display. In addition, the company will announce two new connectivity offerings: an optical/electrical line extender and media converter.

ADC's Software Systems Business Unit will also show its Metrica(TM) Service Assurance and Singl.eView(TM) software solutions at SUPERCOMM. Metrica Service Assurance continues to help providers manage service quality and deliver premium customer experiences, while containing operational costs and enabling carriers to deploy services profitably. Singl.eView is a convergent pre-, post- and now-pay platform that provides carriers with an always-on Operational Support System for continued revenue assurance.
