Comsearch, an Andrew Company, Selected as Official Spectrum Manager for SUPERCOMM 2004.

ORLAND PARK, Ill. -- Extensive Demonstrations of Wireless Products Call for Enhanced Frequency Coordination Procedures and Participation by Exhibitors

Hundreds of the world's foremost communications firms will demonstrate their newest wireless products at SUPERCOMM 2004 and will be visited by thousands of mobile phone carrying, data sending customers and vendors. Wireless mayhem could result if all these wireless signals are not properly managed.

The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), sponsors of SUPERCOMM 2004, selected Comsearch, an Andrew Corporation company, to serve as official wireless spectrum manager for this years' exhibition and conference, being held June 20-24 at Chicago's McCormick Place.

Comsearch will oversee all wireless communications planning and usage prior to and during this huge telecommunications industry trade show, including coordination with wireless carriers serving the Chicago market, coordination between exhibitors, and on-site interference monitoring. With over 600 exhibitors at SUPERCOMM 2004, it's critical that the frequencies used for the wireless demonstrations do not interfere with each other and with other licensed wireless operations in the area.

Comsearch's spectrum management process efficiently addresses the interference and frequency coordination issues for SUPERCOMM's temporary wireless demonstrations. Using its IQ--Clear(R) interference analysis software and engineering expertise, Comsearch will offer a full range of spectrum management services to ensure that wireless communications contribute to a productive, trouble-free show.

"Spectrum Management has become vital to planning a telecommunications show like SUPERCOMM," said A.J. Janosko, SUPERCOMM's director of operations. "Exhibitors want to demonstrate products, not just show them, so Comsearch's proficiency in engineering complex frequency sharing plans and providing innovative spectrum management services has been invaluable. By securing Comsearch as the official spectrum manager for SUPERCOMM 2004, I am confident that our show will prove to be a positive and productive experience for both attendees and exhibitors."

"Comsearch's spectrum management experience for large trade shows began seven years ago and continues today with many of the larger industry trade shows and conferences," said Chris Hardy, vice president and general manager of Comsearch. "The proliferation of new 3G technologies and unlicensed device demonstrations on the SUPERCOMM show floor presents another example of the increased complexity of the interference environment surrounding these wireless demonstrations--driving the necessity for a comprehensive spectrum management process. SUPERCOMM's proactive approach to managing spectrum use on the show floor will help to ensure a quality conference for both exhibitors and attendees."
