Andrew Announces Enhanced Remote Antenna Unit for Multi-Operator and Multi-Service Indoor Wireless Environments.Business Editors ORLAND PARK Or·land Park A village of northeast Illinois, a residential and manufacturing suburb of Chicago. Population: 53,300. , Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 15, 2002 -- unique tri-band unit carries three frequency bands for optimal performance -- Andrew Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :ANDW) added the Enhanced Remote Antenna Unit (ERAU ERAU Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University ) to its In-Cell(TM) portfolio of in-building and distributed communications system solutions. The ERAU can carry three frequency bands (800 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. cellular, 800 MHz ESMR ESMR Enhanced Specialized Mobile Radio ESMR Extended Specialized Mobile Radio (Nextel) ESMR Expert Systems Message Router ESMR Electrically/Electronically Scanned/ing Microwave Radiometer ESMR Engine Starter Motor Relay , and 1900 MHz PCS (1) (Personal Communications Services) Refers to wireless services that emerged after the U.S. government auctioned commercial licenses in 1994 and 1995.

Applications for this product include multi-operator and multi-service environments such as airports, convention centers, sports arenas, office campus buildings, and subways. Typical customers are major wireless service providers, property developers, and airport authorities in Asia, Australia, the US, and South America. "Demand for multi-operator, multi-service wireless has grown significantly in the last twelve months, and designing a network to accommodate multiple operators and services is technically challenging," said Matt Melester, Andrew Corporation's Business Area Director for DCS (1) See also DSC.

This truly is an exceptionally versatile tri-band unit, it's the only one of its type available today, and it will really help operators to keep infrastructure costs down." The technical features of the ERAU include efficient signal combining and the provision of filtering isolation between other operator ports. The unit maintains good performance even in higher frequency bands and enables cost-effective implementation for the lower frequency bands. Where there are multiple operators and services, the unit will cater to (and balance) the varying coverage footprints and capacity requirements.
