Cousins Properties Deploys LGC Wireless In-Building
Cellular System at Landmark Atlanta Property
InterReach Fusion® System Serves AT&T, Verizon Subscribers at One
Ninety One Peachtree Tower in heart of Downtown Atlanta
SAN JOSE, CA, September 17th, 2007—LGC
Wireless, the leading supplier of
In-Building
Wireless solutions and specialized
Network Systems to the Fortune 500, today announced that Cousins
Properties (NYSE: CUZ), one of the country’s top diversified
development companies, has selected LGC’s
InterReach Fusion®
high-rise
office building solution to deliver strong, scalable, and highly
reliable services for CDMA and GSM network customers inside One
Ninety One Peachtree Tower.
An Atlanta landmark, One Ninety One Peachtree Tower is one of the
city’s tallest and largest office buildings. It includes more than
1.2 million square feet of office space, a 15-level parking garage,
and an underground station for the Metro Atlanta Regional Transit
Authority (MARTA). Currently, the InterReach Fusion system supports
voice and 3G data services for Verizon (CDMA and CDMA 2000 EV-DO)
and AT&T Mobility (GSM and HSDPA) customers. The uniformly powerful
signal output of the remote antennas helps cellular devices avoid
“hunting” between multiple outdoor cellular systems – a common
problem in high-rise structures.
“We wanted the most powerful in-building cellular system available
while being mindful of our costs, and it also needed to be
relatively easy to retrofit into an existing structure,” said Dan G.
Arnold, senior vice president and CIO of Cousins Properties. “The
Fusion system from LGC Wireless exceeded our expectations with an
integrated solution that supports both carrier frequencies via a
single set of electronics.”
The InterReach Fusion system at One Ninety One Peachtree Tower
includes seven Main Hubs, 25 Expansion Hubs, and 196 Remote Antenna
Units. As currently deployed, the system covers nearly all interior
spaces in the building, including offices, shops, and the
above-ground levels of the parking garage.
“Rapidly increasing use of cellular phones and smart phones in
high-rise buildings is leading property developers like Cousins
Properties to deploy our in-building cellular systems,” said John
Spindler, vice president of marketing at LGC Wireless. “With the
strong signal provided by our InterReach Fusion systems inside the
building, voice and 3G data users can get a clear and reliable
connection anywhere in the facility.”
