ADC Adds UMTS to its Digivance Long-Range Coverage Solution

date: June 3, 2002

ADC announced today general availability of its new Digivance Long-Range Coverage Solution (LRCS) for wireless operators deploying Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service (UMTS) networks.

Digivance LRCS is the first and only all-digital RF transport system for enhancing coverage and capacity for wireless operators. It distributes radio capacity from a base station over optical fiber to high mobile-traffic areas such as dense urban areas, urban canyons, tunnels, highways and large open facilities. By extending wireless coverage in these hard-to-reach areas, operators can offer improved service that can increase subscriber satisfaction and reduce churn.

Digivance LRCS also helps operators reduce the cost of network deployment while offering improved service. Digital RF transport technology allows radio capacity to be centralized at convenient, low-cost locations and distributed to small, easy-to-locate remote units placed at the desired coverage area. As compared to installing new base station sites, Digivance LRCS overcomes most zoning and real-estate issues and helps reduce both capital and operational expenses.

"Wireless operators today face a huge issue: how to extend their coverage without further extending themselves financially," said Philip Marshall, program manager of wireless and mobile technologies for the Yankee Group. "3G networks will require more and smaller cell sites than GSM networks. Placing these new sites in dense urban areas is problematic since new sites can be difficult to locate and cost hundreds of thousand of dollars. Coverage solutions such as ADC's Digivance RF Transport Solutions offer operators a significantly more cost-effective and faster method of improving both capacity and coverage. The net result is improved service, which is critical for subscriber retention."
