ADC Telecommunications Announces New Pathworx RF Amplifiers.


MERIDEN, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 8, 1998--

Product line features new wireless technology for remote, local monitoring and digital control for simplified set-up and maintenance.

An entirely new series of RF amplifiers and line extender See Media Center Extender, bus extender and DOS extender.  products has been developed by 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.
 Broadband Communications, a division of ADC Telecommunications ADC Telecommunications (NASDAQ: ADCT) is a communications company located in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, a southwest suburb of Minneapolis. History
In 1935, Ralph Allison founded ADC Telecommunications in the basement of his south Minneapolis home, inventing ADC's very

:ADCT ADCT Adaptive Discrete Cosine Transform ; www.adc.com). The new Pathworx(TM) amplifier provides cost-effective RF performance that is among the best in the industry, as well as includes several new advances in RF amplifier technology.

1.) RF Amplifiers designed specifically for advanced data, telephony, and two-way services.

Reliability, scalability and ease of maintenance are combined in a single amplifier family to provide today's operators of advanced networks the features needed for the reliable delivery of video, voice and data. The Pathworx(TM) family can also offer a significant reduction in capital, operating and maintenance costs.

2.)Thecombination of advanced amplifier technology with innovative and solid RF design of the Pathworx(TM) family ensures optimum RF performance that is among the best in the industry.

Patent-pending digital pads and equalizers help ensure reliable RF performance while maintaining RF continuity. These accessories can be changed without dropping calls or breaking data connections...requirements for delivering reliable data and telephony services.

3.) Wireless local monitoring enhances serviceability (system) serviceability - The ease with which corrective maintenance or preventative maintenance can be performed on a system (e.g. by a hardware service technician). Higher serviceability improves availability and reduces service cost.

Serviceability is one component of RAS.

An easy to use touch screen software interface can be used by technicians to monitor and control the Pathworx(TM) family of amplifiers in the field without opening housings or pedestals. Network reliability is enhanced by reducing the likelihood of improperly torqued housings, which lead to water intrusion in amplifiers. In addition, amplifier status including input and output RF levels is available up to 400 feet away from the amplifier location. This allows the monitoring of the network from the safety of the truck.

4.) Ease of setup is also possible due to wireless monitoring link.

ADC's wireless local monitoring module can also be used to adjust pad and equalizer values remotely. This enables easy level and tilt adjustments to be made during setup and helps eliminate costly mistakes. Real-time display of RF level information can be used as confirmation that the amplifier has been correctly configured for optimum performance.

PathWorx(TM) Network Amplifiers

ADC has developed 870 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc.  trunk-bridger amplifiers and high-gain bridger amplifiers with optimum performance and expanded bandwidth to meet the requirements of today's broadband networks This article or section needs copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone and/or spelling.

Pathworx(TM) Local Status Monitoring

Pathworx(TM) amplifiers include an optional wireless local status monitoring device. Using a hand- held computer with touch screen technology, a network technician, on the ground, can remotely monitor the status of the amplifier for operating parameters such as voltage, RF levels, and more. This remote monitoring (protocol) remote monitoring - (RMON) A network management protocol that allows network information to be gathered at a single computer. Whereas SNMP gathers network data from a single type of Management Information Base (MIB), RMON 1 defines nine additional MIBs that provide a  takes a fraction of the time and eliminates the need to climb poles or open pedestals or housings in inaccessible locations. All amplifiers are field upgradeable. Quick and accurate configuration can be performed without removing or reassembling the amplifier.

Pathworx(TM) Line Extenders

The Pathworx(TM) amplifier product line includes cost-effective line extenders designed to deliver superior control and reliability. The line extender products feature the same digital control functions found in the Pathworx(TM) network amplifiers.
