Powerwave Technologies to Demonstrate its RapidFlex™ Mobile Deployment Unit (RMDU) and Inside Out Solutions™ at APCO 2011 International Conference

Powerwave Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:PWAV), a global supplier of advanced solutions for wireless communications networks, will demonstrate its RMDU and Inside Out Solutions for public safety, defense and homeland security agencies at the 2011 APCO International Conference & Expo, August 7-10, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia.

“APCO members do so much to drive the adoption of new public-safety technologies that help keep all of us safe,” said Khurram Sheikh, CTO of Powerwave. “As the industry continues to face evolving mobile wireless habits and network advancements, it will be critical to deploy the right mix of products to build out existing infrastructure to ensure a consistent and reliable experience both indoors and outdoors.”

Powerwave Technologies’ Inside Out Solutions deliver mission-critical communications to public agencies and are designed to improve both coverage and capacity, accelerate service rollouts and reduce capital and operating expenses. Its award-winning solutions include:

• Inside Out Solutions – deliver pinpoint mobile broadband coverage and capacity indoors and outside for better signal quality and reduced network congestion.
  • Picocell – a compact, all-in-one LTE and Wi-Fi base station that delivers up to 15 times greater overall system capacity, which is ideal for areas with high-data usage or weak network signals.
  • MIMO Active Array Antenna – a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna that combines remote radio head, software-defined radio, tunable filtering and antenna technologies into a compact, integrated design for 3G or 4G LTE technologies. The Active Array Antenna increases mobile broadband coverage up to 100 percent and reduces power consumption by 40 percent, lowering operational costs for network providers. The solution is instrumental in providing ubiquitous mobile broadband coverage inside buildings and outdoors in large venues and supports a wide variety of protocols.
  • Internet Commanded Combiner (iCC) – the first filter combiner to enable deployment of LTE services alongside 3G networks in a matter of days, along with a bandwidth tunable filter for efficient spectrum and bandwidth management. In addition, iCC features remote configuration and electronic tuning via the Internet, offering greater flexibility to adapt in real time to changing conditions than conventional filters that are fixed-tuned or require manual tuning.
• RMDU – an integrated mobile communications base station with telescoping antenna tower that enables public agencies to quickly and easily deploy essential wireless bandwidth in remote locations. Frequently used in emergency and disaster communications, the RMDU offers power, performance and flexibility for a wide range of operational scenarios, such as: setting up a mobile data center for radio communications during incident management and command-and-control operations; establishing a temporary wireless coverage system in an area devastated by natural disaster; supporting military and law enforcement deployments; and supplementing wireless voice and data services during major events.

Powerwave will also feature its Nexus FT Repeater and LTE 700 MHz Dual Band IRET Antenna at the event. The Nexus FT Repeater provides a cost-effective application in indoor environments, including stadiums, subways and other large venues, where reliable coverage is essential for public safety communications and operations.
