SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - October 15, 2007) - LGC
Wireless, the leading supplier of In-Building Wireless
solutions and Network Systems to the Fortune 500, today announced InterReach
Fusion WiMAX, the industry's first high-performance distributed antenna
system (DAS) that supports both MIMO and SISO implementations. Based on
LGC's industry-leading InterReach Fusion product, Fusion WiMAX will enable carriers,
enterprises, and government agencies to quickly and cost-effectively
deliver ultra high-speed wireless voice, data and video services inside any
type of structure.
With transmission frequencies of 2.5 GHz and higher, WiMAX signals
attenuate very rapidly, so in-building DAS systems are essential for
successful WiMAX deployments. Fusion WiMAX provides the same clear, strong,
and consistent performance that Fusion cellular systems deliver to
customers around the world. Fusion WiMAX supports other cellular
frequencies as well, so mobile operators can use one system to support
WiMAX as well as GSM, CDMA and WCDMA services.
The Fusion WiMAX system supports both MIMO and SISO antenna configurations.
In addition, existing InterReach Fusion systems can easily be upgraded to
support WiMax services. The first release of Fusion WiMAX (scheduled for
fourth quarter of 2007) will support 2.5GHz WiMAX frequencies; a 3.5 GHZ
version is scheduled for release in 2008.
"With the ability to deliver 100 megabits of bandwidth or more, WiMAX will
rapidly gain adoption among carriers, public agencies, and enterprises,"
said Ian Sugarbroad, president and CEO of LGC Wireless. "LGC Wireless is
leading the industry by providing a best-in-class, high-performance DAS
solution that ensures indoor coverage for WiMAX users."
