ADC Introduces ClearGain Tower-Mounted Amplifiers for Next-Generation Wireless Services; TMAs Improve Coverage, Quality and Profitability.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 3, 2002 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) introduced today its new ClearGain(TM) Tower-Mounted Amplifier (TMA TMA Turnaround Management Association TMA Texas Medical Association TMA Transportation Management Association TMA Training and Management Assistance (a component of OHRD, which is a component of OWR) TMA Tooling & Manufacturing Association ) system, designed to boost wireless signals for use in 2G and next-generation (2.5 and 3G) wireless networks. By amplifying the signal level for mobile communications, wireless operators can increase a cell-site coverage area, improve signal quality, and improve quality of service. The improvement in signal quality is necessary for service providers to offer new next-generation services, which can provide additional revenue opportunities. A typical ClearGain TMA system consists of a masthead mast·head n. 1. Nautical The top of a mast. 2. The listing in a newspaper or periodical of information about its staff, operation, and circulation. 3. unit placed on the tower, a power distribution unit and a bias-T unit placed in the tower's base station. ADC also provides dual-band TMAs, diplexer di·plex·er n. A coupling device that permits two radio transmitters to share the same antenna. and triplexer units for co-sited systems/network overlays, which reduce the equipment on the tower, therefore saving valuable tower space and reducing costs for wireless operators. ClearGain systems are available to cover the entire spectrum of frequencies used for mobile communications worldwide. "ClearGain Tower-Mounted Amplifier systems are ideal for operators who are overlaying a next-generation network on top of their existing infrastructure or those deploying new multi-band networks," said Jeff Quiram, president of the Connectivity Business Unit for ADC. "ClearGain is a very cost-efficient solution with a compelling business case. Wireless operators can increase the revenue per subscriber by improving service quality and delivering high-value mobile services for data, text and video. As well, ClearGain is designed to reduce capital expenditures for cell sites, making it easier to show a rapid return on investment." "As operators transition their networks to deliver next-generation services, they need to improve both signal quality and coverage while minimizing their overall capital and operational expenditures," said Philip Marshall, program manager of wireless and mobile technologies for the Yankee Group (the Yankee Group, Boston, MA, www.yankeegroup.com) A major market research, analysis and consulting firm founded in 1970 by Howard Anderson. It provides general consulting and strategic planning in the computer and communications field. . "ADC's ClearGain solution reduces operator expenditures by improving the performance capabilities of the radio network infrastructure that they deploy."
