LGC Wireless Introduces Multi-Carrier Solution for In-Building Wireless Coverage

San Jose, Calif., May, 15, 2006—LGC Wireless, the leader in advanced in-building wireless systems, today announced Fusion SingleStar, the first in a line of in-building wireless systems that support multi-frequency coverage. Based on its InterReach® Unison line of active in-building wireless systems, Fusion SingleStar delivers multiple RF frequencies with the same industry-leading performance that has made LGC’s Unison systems the most popular in-building systems in the world.

“We have a lot of mobile employees within our offices, so strong and consistent wireless coverage is very important to us” said Steve Swasey, director of corporate communications at Netflix. “The Fusion SingleStar system from LGC met all our needs. The system was extremely easy to install, and is a very cost-effective solution for us.”

By supporting multiple frequencies in a single system, Fusion SingleStar allows building or facilities owners to support multiple carriers, and it allows carriers to effectively deliver voice and high performance data services inside buildings where factors such as topography, foliage, and building architecture impact cellular coverage. Fusion SingleStar’s unique dedicated capacity per frequency band eliminates uncertainties in scalability and coverage that are common in other systems, making it easier and less expensive to install.

“Cell phones are everywhere, and employees in smaller buildings shouldn’t become second-class citizens just because of inadequate indoor coverage,” said Aaron Vance, analyst at Synergy Research. “LGC is one of the first vendors to offer an in-building system that delivers multi-carrier coverage in these smaller spaces.”

Like LGC’s Unison system, Fusion SingleStar uses active electronics and standard building cabling to deliver zero-loss RF performance with end-to-end management. A web management interface is included, and the management system supports SNMP for integration with standard network management systems. Each distributed remote antenna delivers maximum output power to support both voice and high speed data, and the system requires fewer distributed antennas than competing systems.

“Customers have asked us to deliver a system that offers a unified radio network infrastructure that can support any cellular carrier as well as public safety, and Fusion SingleStar is the answer,” said John Spindler, vice president of marketing at LGC Wireless. “It combines all of the advantages of our Unison systems with multi-band capabilities that truly unify wireless services under a single architecture.”

Fusion SingleStar supports up to 8 remote units (RAUs), making it suitable for installations ranging from 100,000 to 350,000 square feet. The system is available now.
