Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :ADCT ADCT Adaptive Discrete Cosine Transform )(www.adc.com), today announced that Carolina West Wireless (CWW CWW Compressed Work Week CWW City West Water (Australia) CWW Church Without Walls (various religious organizations) CWW Columbus Water Works (Columbus, Georgia, USA) ) has completed the deployment of its Digivance(R) Long-Range Coverage Solution (LRCS LRCS Long-Range Coverage Solution LRCS League of Red Cross Societies LRCS Licentiate of the Royal College of Surgeons (UK) ) in several areas of the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. The Digivance solution helps Carolina West provide wireless coverage in rugged mountain terrain and meet the diverse requirements of its customers spread throughout a four county area. The Digivance LRCS will be featured at CTIA (1) See CompTIA.

Wireless 2006 in ADC's Booth #117, April 5-7 in Las Vegas. The Digivance Distributed Antenna System As defined by PCIA - the Wireless Infrastructure Association, and it's DAS Forum, A Distributed Antenna System ,or DAS, is a network of spatially separated antenna nodes connected to a common source via a transport medium that provides wireless service within a geographic area or (DAS) solution allows Carolina West to provide wireless coverage and gain community support where traditional radio frequency systems are either impractical or in violation of zoning rules. The Digivance LRCS has been installed on existing structures to help control site development costs and meet the communities' strict requirements. "The Digivance system has allowed us to provide wireless coverage and gain community support for sites that in the past were not available," said Michael Rankhorn, technical operations manager for Carolina West Wireless. "We also determined that the Digivance technology is future proof as it enables us to deploy the edge of our network one time and maintain it for many years to come, even with the evolution in base station technology and change in protocols. As long as we stay in the same frequency bands, Digivance is agnostic to the modulation technology." In the Carolina West deployment, backhaul is provided by the organic fiber available through local Independent Telephone ownership, which makes better use of existing ILEC (Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier) A traditional local telephone company such as one of the Regional Bell companies (RBOCs).

Carolina West gained approval from the Rural Utilities Service to deploy these sites using USDA USDA, n.pr See United States Department of Agriculture. monies for ultra rural areas. Digivance wireless products are designed to provide wireless operators the feature set they need to build high quality networks for their customers. Using the company's patented digital RF transport technology, Digivance products digitize RF signals, transporting them via coax or optical fiber cable to the designated coverage areas. There the signals are reconstructed at full bandwidth and dynamic range, regardless of modulation technology or data rate. CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band. Overlay Carolina West Wireless developed a CDMA overlay on its existing TDMA/AMPS network and is deploying 1XRTT data and voice services. Working with ADC, the carrier further improved data speeds and spectral efficiencies by multicasting a signal across several radio transmit/receive points in the network. Because these receive/transmit points are much closer to the end user, they enable Carolina West to provide better voice quality, higher data speeds and longer battery life on mobile phones. "In implementing ADC's Digivance digital radio over fiber solution, Carolina West is demonstrating a cost effective way of delivering first rate quality and advanced wireless services Advanced Wireless Services, also known as AWS-1, is a wireless telecommunications technology, used for mobile data services, video, and messaging. AWS-1 is used in the United States and replaces the spectrum formerly allocated to Multipoint Multichannel Distribution Service, to their customers," said Hilton Nicholson, president of the Active Infrastructure Business Unit for ADC. "This project also illustrates the true spirit of partnership between the two companies, from conception to commissioning. We look forward to growing with Carolina West as its network expands in the future."
