ADC Mobile Systems, a division of ADC Telecommunications (NASDAQ: ADCT; www.adc.com), has announced a complete line of PCS 1900-compatible mobile systems products for a variety of applications. The CityWave family of GSM products will be demonstrated at PCS '98 in Orlando, Sept. 23-25, at the ADC booth (N0. 1751).

CityWave products can be utilized in applications such as stand-alone GSM networks; wireless offices for extensions, standalone PBX and private networks; adding capacity to existing coverage areas; extending service to tunnels, subways and parking garages; and temporary service due to emergencies or large events.

ADC's GSM products share a common industry standard chassis, which allows fast, easy deployment and upgrade with little downtime. This also simplifies inventory and maintenance.

The CityWave family of products also supports GSM 900 and DCS 1800. CityWave features base transceiver stations (CityWave BTS, Turbo BTS and Micro BTS); base station controllers (CityWave BSC); a combined BSC and BTS (CityWave BS+); operation and maintenance centers (CityWave OMC); and mobile switching centers (CityWave MSC) that improve signal quality, fill dead spots, increase capacity and supply wireless coverage during emergencies when outages may have occurred.

"The scalability of CityWave products, plus their cost-effectiveness, give carriers tremendous flexibility for their networks," said Monte Egeland, a director with ADC Mobile Systems. "And, since the MSC, BSC, BS+ and BTS share common hardware and architecture, upgrades and maintenance are quick, simple procedures."
