AirNet Signs Licensing Agreement With ArrayComm To Support Launch Of New Super Capacity Base Station.Business Editors MELBOURNE, Fla. & SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 11, 2000 Adaptive array technology multiplies available bandwidth, speeds move to wireless data AirNet(R) Communications Corporation (Nasdaq:ANCC ANCC American Nurses Credentialing Center ANCC Association Nationale des Cardiaques Congénitaux ANCC Army-Navy Country Club (Arlington, VA) ANCC Area Nine Cable Council (state mandated government body in UK) ) today announced that it has signed an agreement with San Jose-based ArrayComm to support the launch of AirNet's new super capacity base station. The move follows AirNet's September announcement of its new AdaptaCell(TM) super capacity base station, a leading-edge solution that will dramatically increase wireless operators' capacity and performance - and speed the industry's move to the wireless Internet. The new AdaptaCell super capacity base station - planned to be available in mid-2001 - will be built on AirNet's current broadband, software-defined base station platform, with ArrayComm's IntelliCell(R) adaptive array technology. IntelliCell achieves extraordinary gains in spectral efficiency Spectral efficiency or spectrum efficiency refers to the amount of information that can be transmitted over a given bandwidth in a specific digital communication system. - translating into significant increases in network performance - by focusing radio signals on individual handset The part of the telephone that contains the speaker and the microphone. On a desktop phone, the part you hold in your hand is the handset. On a cellphone, the entire phone is the handset.

IntelliCell has proven its value in commercial mobility systems serving more than 3.5 million subscribers via 35,000 base stations throughout the world. The technology has enabled increases in system capacities by as much as a factor of 20, while provisioning wireless data rates of up to 128kbps. "We are pleased to have found such an experienced partner in ArrayComm and look forward to working closely with them on the upcoming launch of the AdaptaCell super capacity base station," said Lee Hamilton, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of AirNet. "By bringing together both companies' technologies and expertise onto one single platform solution, we will be able to provide operators with not only the highest capacity in the industry, but twice the data rate of current systems, as well - all without having to deploy additional base stations." "ArrayComm looks forward to working with AirNet to create the world's first adaptive array-enabled GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) A digital cellular phone technology based on TDMA that is the predominant system in Europe, but also used worldwide. Developed in the 1980s, GSM was first deployed in seven European countries in 1992. base stations, providing wireless carriers with dramatic increases in revenue-generating capacity," said Sam Endy, executive vice president and general manager of ArrayComm. "Integrating ArrayComm's IntelliCell technology into AirNet's AdaptaCell super capacity base station will enable the growth of the wireless Internet on GSM networks." IntelliCell brings several key benefits for carriers transitioning from current wireless standards to GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) The first high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers that used the GSM technology. GPRS added a packet-switched channel to GSM, which uses dedicated, circuit-switched channels for voice conversations. and EDGE. For example, AirNet's new AdaptaCell solution will provide universal access to high-speed data on existing radio networks. Competitors' solutions provide high-speed data in only the central part of the existing cell, requiring operators to install up to five additional base stations to cover the same area. In addition, the AdaptaCell super capacity base station will improve the quality and quantity of network throughput - maximizing use of the operator's radio spectrum. This improved throughput will enable the new super capacity base station to handle dramatically more traffic in any given cell. This capacity improvement will enable operators to significantly increase the number of users within their coverage area, and provide additional high-speed services See broadband. , such as the wireless Internet, without adding new base stations or towers. Yet another benefit to operators will be the ability to improve the quality of voice and data communications data communications, application of telecommunications technology to the problem of transmitting data, especially to, from, or between computers. In popular usage, it is said that data communications make it possible for one computer to "talk" with another. on their networks. Communication quality and system capacity, in traditional systems, are limited by interference caused by radio signals broadcast over a wide area to reach a single end user. Most of this signal power is wasted. In contrast, IntelliCell adaptive array technology reduces interference, improves voice quality and conserves signal power by focusing energy directly toward the end user. Finally, since the base stations are software-defined, the operators can expand or upgrade their systems to include these new capabilities easily - typically by switching the software, not changing out hardware, as with traditional systems.

The Company's AdaptaCell(TM) incorporates a patented radio architecture that is designed to enable operators to offer these services by upgrading base station software rather than deploying new base station hardware. The Company's AirSite(R) Backhaul Free Base Station(TM) carries wireless voice and data signals back to the wireline network without a physical communications link - usually a digital T1 phone line. As a result, an operator's fixed network operating costs operating costs npl → gastos mpl operacionales may decrease substantially. AirNet Communications Corporation's award winning wireless base station products, based on over 60 patents either issued or filed, provide a cost effective, future proof solution for wireless operators as they deploy and expand their networks. AirNet's patented broadband, software-defined AdaptaCell(TM) base station provides a high capacity base station with a software upgrade path to the wireless Internet. The AdaptaCell's(TM) patented technology means no more time consuming and expensive hardware upgrades - the wireless Internet is only a software upgrade away. And, with software control, AirNet lets service providers support multiple protocols simultaneously avoiding costly overlays. The AirSite(R) Backhaul Free Base Station(TM) has award winning architecture which eliminates the need for a physical backhaul link, thus reducing operating costs. AirNet base station products won the prestigious "GSM World Award" for technical innovation for AdaptaCell(TM) software upgrade to the wireless Internet and for AirSite's revolutionary wireless backhaul capability.
