AirNet Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: ANCC), the technology
leader in software defined base station products for wireless
communications, today announced that it has executed a field trial
agreement with a large, tier 1 operator. The agreement provides
AirNet Communications with an opportunity to deploy
SuperCapacity(TM), adaptive array base stations in a dense urban,
major metropolitan market. The large operator plans to evaluate and
test the performance of AirNet's SuperCapacity base station
throughout the remainder of this year. The large operator has
agreed to make cell sites available in an area of its market which
has the challenging combination of extremely dense wireless
penetration and difficult radio frequency (RF) planning
characteristics. AirNet will provide the SuperCapacity base
stations at the selected cell sites. The large operator will
conduct a battery of tests to evaluate "real world" performance
improvements. AirNet is temporarily providing the base stations,
common equipment and services for evaluation at no charge; and the
large operator is paying for the costs of providing and preparing
sites, ancillary equipment, and test services. "We now have an
opportunity for our broadband SDR platform to move to the forefront
in the world of SuperCapacity wireless communications," said Glenn
Ehley President and CEO for AirNet Communications. "We believe
success will have the effect of validating our products,
technologies and capabilities for operators with challenging
capacity and RF requirements. If we can be successful in this major
metropolitan, dense urban environment, we can be successful in any
dense urban deployment." Adaptive Array Principles Wireless
networks are prone to interference and poor voice quality due to
the fixed directional transmission of radio frequency (RF) signals.
In traditional base station systems, the wide area dispersal is
necessary. This results in considerable waste of radiated power.
Also, the dispersed transmission pollutes the electromagnetic
environment by radiating most of the transmitted power in
unnecessary directions -- making radio planning difficult and
expensive. In contrast, AirNet's SuperCapacity, adaptive array
technology determines a user's location and attempts to focus and
receive energy only in desired directions as well as to null the
interferers. "We're building upon the success of our recent
adaptive array commercial deployment in Oklahoma, and taking it to
the next level," said Sushil Gill, Vice President of Business
Development and Large Operator Sales for AirNet Communications.
"This large, tier 1 operator has now asked us to verify the
performance of our technology in a dense urban, multi-path
environment. With existing narrowband technology virtually at the
limit for capacity enhancement, our goal is to solve the problems
associated with limited spectrum by providing more capacity and
increased data throughput with our SuperCapacity solution." "Our
SuperCapacity adaptive array broadband SDR platform is the
alternative to the expensive and daunting task of building large
numbers of new sites or purchasing expensive spectrum in this major
metropolitan network," said Thomas R. Schmutz, Vice President of
Engineering for AirNet Communications. "We have planned for this
large, tier 1 operator opportunity since the Company was founded
back in 1994. We are excited to have the right solution at the
right time, and with the potential that it brings." Benefits of
AirNet's SuperCapacity, Adaptive Array Technology AirNet's
SuperCapacity base station is the only viable solution for adaptive
array technology available for GSM/GPRS/EDGE. It is the key enabler
for high capacity voice and packet data services, which is
fundamental to success for GSM operators worldwide. AirNet has the
only proven broadband adaptive array software-defined radio
platform. The SuperCapacity base station has the capability of
providing the following benefits: -- Improvement of RF network
quality through substantial C/I (carrier-to-interference ratio)
gains, -- Improved spectrum utilization and Erlang capacity for
urban voice applications compared to traditional technology, --
Reduced number of sites for both voice and data applications, --
Extension of the GSM network's viability many years further, and --
Improvement of GPRS and EDGE coverage and data rates. About AirNet
AirNet Communications Corporation is a leader in wireless base
stations and other telecommunications equipment that allow service
operators to cost-effectively and simultaneously offer high-speed
wireless data and voice services to mobile subscribers. AirNet's
patented broadband, software-defined AdaptaCell(R)
SuperCapacity(TM) adaptive array base station solution provides a
high-capacity base station with a software upgrade path to
high-speed data, utilizing ArrayComm, Inc.'s IntelliCell(TM)
adaptive array algorithms. The Company's RapidCell(TM) base station
provides government communications users with up to 96 voice and
data channels in a compact, rapidly deployable design capable of
processing multiple GSM protocols simultaneously. The Company's
AirSite(R) Backhaul Free(TM) base station carries wireless voice
and data signals back to the wireline network, eliminating the need
for a physical backhaul link, thus reducing operating costs. AirNet
has 69 patents issued or filed and has received the coveted World
Award for Best Technical Innovation from the GSM Association,
representing over 400 operators around the world. More information
