ORLAND PARK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 22, 2004

Andrew Corporation announces three new dual duplex tower mounted amplifiers (TMAs). These easy-to-install TMAs work with any wireless system for Full Band 60 MHz PCS1900, Sub-band 30 MHz PCS1900, and 800 MHz Cellular A and B bands. Andrew TMAs improve uplink performance to enhance coverage and capacity throughout a GSM or CDMA network.

"Mobile phone subscribers expect their wireless services to connect calls on the first try every time. Too many missed or dropped calls, and they may start looking for another provider," said John DeSana, Group President, Cable and Filter Products, Andrew Corporation. "Andrew has the solution with tower mounted amplifiers that boost coverage where signals are weak, reduce call interference, and extend a subscriber's talk time by requiring lower handset output."

The self-contained maintenance-free housing is compact and attractive and protects the amplifiers even in severe weather or corrosive environments.
