ADC Introduces Multi-Protocol Radio Head for Euro Markets
FlexWave URH First to Combine Digitized RF and Baseband Protocols
Over Unified Transport
MINNEAPOLIS (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) May 29, 2008 --
ADC (NASDAQ: ADCT) (www.adc.com) today
announced that FlexWave™ URH—its
innovative, multi-band radio head for outdoor distributed antenna system
(DAS) deployments—is now available for
European markets. With its unique digital RF technologies, FlexWave URH
is designed to allow carriers to combine multiple bands and multiple
protocols over a single digital serial stream to a single radiating
point, thereby expanding coverage and capacity while gaining significant
savings in operating and capital expenses (OPEX and CAPEX).
FlexWave URH
currently supports 1800 MHz DCS and 2100 MHz UMTS frequencies, with 900
MHz GSM to be supported in the third quarter. ADC's new SeRF technology
makes FlexWave URH the industry’s only outdoor
DAS solution to combine digitized RF and baseband (CPRI/OBSAI) over a
single stream. FlexWave URH has tri-band remotes, which allow carriers
to serve 900/1800/2100 MHz services from a single radiating point, and
it can be field-upgraded to enable pay-as-you grow business models.
With its tri-band capability and unified digital transport, the FlexWave
URH is designed to reduce costs by allowing carriers to expand coverage
while leveraging existing offices, base station hotels or centralized
radio suites. As carriers expand their data-rich service offerings,
using radio heads rather than additional base stations allows them to
add capacity for new service revenues while potentially experiencing
CAPEX and OPEX savings over traditional architectures.
As part of ADC’s All
IP-RAN product portfolio, FlexWave URH’s
high-speed RF network integrates with ADC’s
in-building DAS solutions, allowing centralized management of base
station capacity to cover the macro environment as well as in-building
environments. This integration offers maximum flexibility for coverage
and capacity to meet customer needs while fully utilizing radio and
trunking resources.
“As our customers migrate to more data and
video-rich wireless services, the capacity strain on spectrum will
require smaller cells to maximize cell re-use,”
said Hilton Nicholson, president of ADC’s
Network Solutions Business Unit. “Outdoor DAS
is the most cost-effective solution for distributing service to smaller
cells, and FlexWave URH’s digital advantage
gives customers a cost-effective transport and the flexibility to add
future services.”
