ADC In-Building Wireless Systems Drive WiMAX Deployments

ADC (NASDAQ: ADCT) (www.adc.com) today announced that its InterReach Fusion® distributed antenna system (DAS) has been deployed to extend WiMAX coverage and capacity inside a major airport and three hospitals. As the only wireless operator-certified DAS for WiMAX use, ADC’s InterReach Fusion solution will play a major role in bringing in-building WiMAX services to worldwide markets.

Deployed at the request of the largest WiMAX operator in the United States, the InterReach Fusion system has been installed in Washington Reagan National Airport, and in VA hospitals in Dallas, San Antonio, and Temple, Texas. The systems use 2x2 Multiple Input/Multiple Output (MIMO) technology to increase signal quality and double the throughput. Densely populated areas will require smaller cells to provide the needed uplink performance.
