REMEC RECEIVES ORDER FROM LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES IN BROADBAND WIRELESS ACCESS ANTENNAS San Diego, CA The very precise patterns of the 3.5 GHz SectorShape Antennas provide unique capability to service providers of broadband wireless systems outside the US where crowded metroplolitan areas require have unique line-of-sight challenges. These patterns maximize the number of subscribers that can be serviced by each hub (basestation) without interference insuring higher revenues and quality of service. The REMEC antennas, trademarked SectorShape, are designed using proprietary artificial intelligence software and are offered for a variety of wireless access hub applications including the US MMDS band, the international 3.5 GHz band, as well as both the 5.7 GHz unlicenced frequencies and LMDS applications. In a related event, REMEC has been accepted as an "Adopter" member of the Broadband Wireless Internet Forum (BWIF). The BWIF is a consortium of companies that have joined together to establish and promote an open broadband fixed wireless standard based on Vector Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (VOFDM). Promoters of the BWIF, including Cisco Systems and Broadcom advocate VOFDM as the preferred solution for providing wireless, high-speed internet access to business and residential customers that will mitigate line-of-sight challenges associated with the frequency bands used for these applications. REMEC is a leading designer and manufacturer of high frequency subsystems used in the transmission of voice, video and data traffic over wireless communications networks and in defense electronics applications.
