Network Infrastructure Solutions Designed to Enable High-Speed Services and Efficiently Manage Communication Across Any Network ADC (NASDAQ:ADCTD, www.adc.com), will showcase its portfolio of network infrastructure equipment and services designed for wireline, wireless, and enterprise networks at SUPERCOMM 2005 (Booth Nos. 23018 and 21066) here, June 7 - 9. The products and services featured in ADC's exhibit space include a full suite of fiber-to-the-x (FTTX) solutions for the Central Office (CO) and Outside Plant, wireless coverage and capacity solutions, Ethernet solutions for service providers and enterprises, and professional services. "Each year, ADC attends SUPERCOMM to showcase our innovative network infrastructure capabilities and address new strategies to help carriers reduce operating costs and increase revenues," said Robert E. Switz, president and chief executive officer for ADC. "ADC is a leader in global network infrastructure solutions and with the market share gains we have experienced in recent months, our customers feel we're offering the best in quality network products and services. At SUPERCOMM, we demonstrate our high-performance solutions that connect communications everywhere." Fiber Solutions Enable High Performance ADC's OmniReach(R) FTTX Infrastructure Solutions are the industry's first platforms designed from the ground up to meet the unique requirements of FTTX networks. By building high-speed networks with OmniReach Fiber Distribution Terminals and frames, service providers accelerate deployment and maximize operational efficiency from the central office to the outside plant. In addition, ADC launched a new Multi-service Terminal (MST) designed to help service providers accelerate drop deployment and connect to the customer premises. Carrier Ethernet Services In this high-growth area, carriers must deliver highly reliable, highly secure, services on which enterprises can count. Data network infrastructure becomes critical to the success of business services delivery. ADC delivers a full suite of products designed to help carriers deliver Ethernet services, including the LoopStar 800/810 SONET Access Systems designed to help carriers deploy and manage existing hicap T1 and next-gen Ethernet based broadband services using existing TDM networks and local loop facility infrastructure; Ethernet Distribution Frames that serve a centralized distribution point; and the Ethernet Network Interface Unit (ENIU) installed at the remote premise, to provide the demarcation point between the customer and carrier network. In ADC's booth at SUPERCOMM 2005, visitors can see ADC's new Ethernet Network Interface Unit (ENIU) combined with EXFO's Packet Blazer Gigabit Ethernet testers that enable service providers to remotely troubleshoot networks, customer access lines and related services, and assure customer service level agreements (SLAs). Wireless Innovations ADC helps wireless operators deliver more services deeper into the network with innovative wireless solutions. Digivance Digital Distributed Antenna Systems (D-DAS) allow wireless carriers to deliver consistent, reliable wireless service in high-demand and hard-to-reach locations. The newest addition to the product family, Digivance Street-Level Coverage Solution (SCS), offers superior digital performance and the industry's highest available optical loss budget. Centralization of the base radio capacity affords the most cost-effective, environmentally friendly coverage approach. Carriers deploying Wi-Fi hotspots can turn to ADC to leverage legacy equipment and generate new revenue with minimal up-front costs. ADC's LoopStar(R) 200 Wi-Fi solutions, featuring line-powering capability, allow access points to be located where needed when commercial power is not readily available. In addition to the infrastructure solutions showcased at its booth in McCormick Center's South Hall, ADC's mobile exhibit trailer (Booth No. 21066) will also be on display. At the mobile exhibit, ADC will feature its LoopStar span-powered Wi-Fi solution, which includes a hardened access point carriers can use to deliver Wi-Fi hotspots and ubiquitous access for their customers. A Wi-Fi Cafe will also be available for attendees to experience how effective wireless hotspots can be deployed in virtually any location. Professional Services As services become the focus of carrier networks, ADC's Professional Services group has expanded, increasing deployments with carriers to assist in their network initiatives. Professional Services from ADC focus on quick response, high quality and fast deployment, enabling carriers to deliver new revenue generating services quickly and efficiently. The Professional Services Group recently announced and expanded service offering for FTTX networks. This comprehensive set of services now includes central office (CO) and outside-plant (OSP) FTTX deployments, enabling carriers to speed deployment, lower deployment costs, obtain consistent quality from site to site, and improve time to market and revenues for new broadband services. Enterprise Connectivity ADC's solutions for enterprise networks include a portfolio of enterprise infrastructure offerings such as CopperTen(TM), a patented product family that enables 10 gigabit-Ethernet to be delivered on unshielded twisted pair cabling. Recently, the company launched its TrueNet Structured Cabling Solution throughout the North and South America, Europe, Australia, and India. The TrueNet System combines proven cable, connectivity, and cable management solutions for fiber, 10 Gigabit Ethernet over UTP copper, and Category 6/5e from the data center to the desktop.
