ADTRAN Announces E1 Wireless Connectivity for Worldwide Market

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (April 19, 1999) -- ADTRAN, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADTN), announced today the addition of its E1 version of the TRACER digital microwave radio, to be shown at IWCE. TRACER uses spread spectrum technology to provide E1 or dual T1 communication links. TRACER operates in the 2.4-2.4835 GHz band. Operation in this frequency band is unlicensed in many countries, allowing for efficient and easy deployment of wireless services.

"The TRACER E1 was developed in response to an overwhelming demand for international wireless connectivity," said Dan Pritchett, ADTRAN Director of Wireless Products Sales and Marketing. "This worldwide wireless solution allows us to provide the same reliable TRACER product already popular here in the U.S. to customers using E1-based data rates and interfaces."

The TRACER E1 radio is available from ADTRAN for immediate deployment. The TRACER system is available in both rackmount or mastmount configurations and is ideal for last-mile telco access, WAN campus connectivity, PCS/cellular SMR site connectivity, and many other point-to-point deployment scenarios. TRACER is available in the U.S. through ADTRAN-certified resellers or master distributors such as ALLTEL Supply and Sprint North Supply. TRACER is also available through ADTRAN international sales offices and worldwide distributors.
