Vipnet Selects LGC Wireless Solution for new Headquarters

Unison Accel Systems Deliver GSM and UMTS Coverage for Croatia’s Leading Wireless Provider

SAN JOSE, CA, October 10, 2006— LGC Wireless, the leader in advanced in-building wireless systems, today announced that Vipnet, the most advanced mobile operator in Croatia, has deployed LGC’s Interreach Unison™ Accel system to provide strong and pervasive cellular coverage for its new headquarters in Zagreb. The new system delivers GSM and UMTS service over seven floors of offices and two underground parking levels in the facility—more than 100,000 square feet in all.

Vipnet was the first company granted a private cellular network franchise in Croatia, and has been operating its GSM-based network in Zagreb and other cities since 1999. The company was also the first in Croatia to offer advanced services such as EDGE and HSDPA. Vipnet’s new headquarters building is part of a state-of-the-art corporate campus that features a host of employee amenities including a preschool and day care center, fitness center, and restaurants.

“With our new headquarters, Vipnet is setting higher standards for employee comfort and productivity in Croatia,” said Tomislav Makar of Vipnet. “LGC Wireless is the leader in systems that provide in-building cellular coverage, so their equipment was a natural choice for us. In addition, the Unison system was the only one that allowed for a painless upgrade from GSM to UMTS.”

LGC’s Unison Accel products are a perfect solution for medium-sized facilities like the Vipnet headquarters building. By deploying two Unison Accel systems (each serving a different part of the facility), LGC engineers enabled simpler installation and easier frequency planning with consistently high performance from the parking garage to the executive suites.

“VIPnet is the wireless technology leader in Croatia, and we are proud that our products were chosen for the in-building coverage at its new headquarters,” said John Spindler, vice president of marketing at LGC Wireless. “VIPnet becomes the latest in a long list of wireless providers around the world who have chosen our products for their own facilities based on superior performance, scalability and ease of deployment.”
