ORLAND PARK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 1, 2002

Andrew Corporation (NASADQ:ANDW) has introduced a new 3.7-meter Intelsat(R) F-1 type approved C-band earth station antenna. This antenna is suitable for all systems integrators seeking to bring their systems on line faster and more economically. The new antenna features advanced dual-reflector technology with a 12-piece precision formed aluminum reflector assembly. The main reflector is self-aligning, eliminating the requirement for field alignment.

The 3.7-meter earth station antenna gives high gain and has closely controlled radiation pattern characteristics. Intelsat type approval ensures that the antenna can be field deployed, with minimal testing of G/T performance, to become fully certified as an Intelsat standard F-1 station.

For high durability and low upkeep, the 3.7-meter earth station antenna is constructed from precision-formed aluminum with a hot-dipped galvanized steel backstructure. For additional assurance, Andrew Corporation provides a 3-year warranty as a standard on the antenna's structural components.

The benefits of selecting an Intelsat type approved antenna are: guaranteed acceptance for operation on the Intelsat systems, lower commissioning costs, an assurance of superior performance, and faster and cheaper implementation by eliminating the requirement for field-verification testing.

Andrew Corporation's satellite earth station system portfolio offers a complete RF solution to companies that are planning broadband satellite networks and companies implementing satellite systems for government, corporate or public communications networks.
