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.”
