DSC and GTE in Trial Agreement of DSC's Airspan(R) System as an Alternative to Copper Fiber Loops.DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 7, 1996--DSC Communications Corporation and GTE GTE General Telephone & Electronics GTE Génie Thermique et Énergie (French) GTE Gas Turbine Engine GTE Global Tropospheric Experiment GTE Geothermal Energy GTE Gas Turbine Efficiency plc (Sweden & USA) announced today a trial to test DSC's Airspan(R) system. The trial will test Airspan as a cost-effective access solution for selected remote subscriber areas served by GTE. Airspan is a point-to-multi-point fixed digital radio system which provides an efficient, innovative and flexible means to extend service in a variety of environments. The Airspan system is a practical alternative to copper or fiber cabling and meets fixed public network standards. Airspan uses Spread Spectrum Code Division Multiple Access (SS-CDMA SS-CDMA Spread-Spectrum Code-Division Multiple Access ) technology to provide protection against distortion and eavesdropping Secretly gaining unauthorized access to confidential communications. Examples include listening to radio transmissions or using laser interferometers to reconstitute conversations by reflecting laser beams off windows that are vibrating in synchrony to the sound in the room. . The system enables optimum use of the radio spectrum with options to increase end-user density by using concentration techniques and frequency re-use. Additionally, by using 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. technology, Airspan allows flexible coverage of wide geographic areas, helping operators to solve the "growth challenge." "DSC (1) (Digital Signal Controller) A microcontroller and DSP combined on the same chip. It adds the interrupt-driven capabilities normally associated with a microcontroller to a DSP, which typically functions as a continuous process. See microcontroller and DSP. is pleased to work with GTE in this first domestic trial of Airspan," said DSC's Terry Coss, vice president, GTE Sales. "DSC has demonstrated Airspan's wireless capabilities around the world, with numerous telecommunications operators anticipating deployment." "We are excited about testing this technology and determining how it can enable our network to meet evolving requirements," said Barry W. Paulson, GTE's vice president, Network Operations Planning and Support. "This technology could be used in some of our less dense communities to rapidly deploy both voice and data services and meet our customers' service demands, today and in the future." DSC's Airspan system uses microwave radio links from a Central Terminal base station (CT) to individual Subscriber Terminals (ST) which are located on the subscribers' buildings. The CT is located either at a local exchange or a remote radio site. The ST consists of integral antennas and electronics housed in a robust and unobtrusive enclosure less than 30 cm square. It has low power consumption and can be configured con·fig·ure tr.v. con·fig·ured, con·fig·ur·ing, con·fig·ures To design, arrange, set up, or shape with a view to specific applications or uses: to run on battery, mains or solar power. Subscriber Terminals are available to provide 128 kbit/s of clear channel data for high-quality lease line services, such as V.35 and X.21 and standard network services. With revenues of $20 billion in 1995, GTE is one of the largest publicly held telecommunications companies See telecom company. in the world. GTE is the largest U.S.-based local exchange telephone company and a leading cellular-service provider -- with wireline and wireless operations that form a market area covering about one-third of the country's population. DSC Communications Corporation is a leading designer, developer, manufacturer and marketer of digital switching, transmission, access and private network system products for the worldwide telecommunications marketplace. Airspan is a registered trademark of DSC Communications Corporation. CONTACT: DSC Communications Corporation Terry Adams
