Altium And DXR 700 Radio Deployments in the Philippines
SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Microwave Corporation
(Nasdaq: DMIC - news), today announced that it received a $2.3 million
contract from Globe Telecom, a full-service telecommunications company,
based in Metro Manila, Philippines. Digital Microwave will provide
radios from two of its newest and most innovative microwave radio
families: the Altium(TM) and DXR(TM) 700 series of radios. The radios
are scheduled for delivery during the current fiscal quarter for
deployment in the expansion of Globe Telecom's GSM (Global System for
Mobile Communications) network in the Metro Manila area.
Digital Microwave Corporation's Altium radio offers innovative, state-
of-the-art, synchronous technology for high-capacity and high-performance
requirements. The Altium radio is designed to provide fiber optics-

advanced modulation techniques provide highly efficient use of the
radio spectrum, which in turn gives robust performance and fiber-like
signal quality for reliable, long-distance linking.

service to a growing number of subscribers,'' commented Emmanuel R.

Telecom. ''Because of the technologies used in the Digital Microwave
