ArrayComm's First Public Network Field Trial Of The IntelliWave WLL System Launched In Brazil.SAN JOSE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 10, 1997-- ArrayComm/Zetax Collaboration To Enable Direct WLL See wireless local loop and PHS-WLL. Connection To Public Network Switch ArrayComm recently shipped equipment in anticipation of the first-ever network field trials involving its IntelliWave wireless local loop (WLL) systems, in partnership with Zetax Tecnologia S.A., in Joao Pessoa João Pes·so·a A city of northeast Brazil near the Atlantic Ocean north of Recife. Founded in 1585, it has excellent examples of colonial architecture. Population: 635,000. Noun 1. , PB, Brazil. The field trials will be conducted for TELPA, one of the 27 regional operating companies operating company A business that engages in transactions with outsiders. comprising Telebras, Brazil's state-owned telecommunications Communicating information, including data, text, pictures, voice and video over long distance.

The field trials will connect the IntelliWave WLL system, including subscriber units A Subscriber Unit, or SU is a broadband radio that is installed at a business or residential location to connect to an Access Point to send/receive high speed data wired or wirelessly. Devices commonly referred to as a Subscriber Unit include cable modems, mobile phones, etc. installed in customer premises and computerized base stations, to a Zetax 610 digital switch operating within the TELPA public network. The field trials are designed to prove the technical efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the combined ArrayComm/Zetax system within a WLL application. Because each IntelliWave base station can communicate directly with the Zetax switch, the need for a network interface unit (NIU NIU Northern Illinois University NIU Niue (ISO Country code) NIU Network Interface Unit NIU Not in Use NIU National Interdiction Unit (Afghanistan) NIU National I-Lan University ) has been eliminated. By thus reducing the complexity of the system, this avoidance of a network interface unit can result in savings to operators of as much as $100 per subscriber. The IntelliWave WLL system is powered by ArrayComm's patented IntelliCell digital signal processing See DSP. Digital Signal Processing - (DSP) Computer manipulation of analog signals (commonly sound or image) which have been converted to digital form (sampled). technology, which delivers increased capacity, coverage and quality over conventional systems, at reduced cost. Currently the IntelliWave base station, which can process signals from up to twelve antennas, permits up to 155 simultaneous traffic channels of 32 kbps voice inside 10 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. of spectrum over a 10 km radius. "We are very excited about the results of initial testing at this stage of the field trials," explained Sr. Marcos Eduardo Bandeira Maia, president and chief executive officer of Zetax. "We are confident that ArrayComm's technology will prove its ability to increase call clarity within a very busy network and to lower build-out costs." "The successful outcome of these field trials will enable Zetax to provide significant cost savings to the Brazilian market, estimated to be in excess of 12 million wireless lines over the next five years," stated Karl Martersteck, president and chief executive officer of ArrayComm. Chairman and founder Martin Cooper Martin Cooper (born December 26, 1926 in Chicago) is considered the father of the cell phone (as distinct from the car phone). [1] Cooper is the CEO and founder of ArrayComm, a company that works on researching smart antenna technology and improving wireless networks, added, "We will prove that the IntelliWave system can enable operators worldwide to rapidly deploy the most potent, flexible WLL solution available, at the lowest cost over traditional wireline or wireless technologies." Upon successful completion of the field trials, global manufacture of the IntelliWave system will be expanded to include Brazilian manufacturing facilities. Zetax has produced and installed more than 2,200 switches in Brazil over the last 10 years and will have more than one million lines installed by the end of 1997, not including the wireless lines currently being installed in Joao Pessoa for the TELPA regional operating company as part of the Telebras field trials.

The company's revolutionary IntelliCell processing platform combines an innovative digital signal processing system with multiple antennas to dramatically enhance wireless system performance and economics. This unique approach to wireless access enables operators of PCS (1) (Personal Communications Services) Refers to wireless services that emerged after the U.S. government auctioned commercial licenses in 1994 and 1995. This radio spectrum in the 1. , cellular and wireless local loop networks to realize unparalleled increases in signal quality, capacity and coverage, by automatically adapting to the complexities of the environment and continuously enhancing the users' signals in real time. The IntelliCell processor is compatible with all wireless standards. ArrayComm holds several patents on its IntelliCell technology and has applied for several more. From the IntelliCell processor to innovative wireless local loop systems, ArrayComm is helping to make high-quality wireless communications truly affordable for mass markets worldwide.
