(NASDAQ: MRVC), Tuesday night, received the communication industry's SUPERQuest Award in recognition of being one of the most promising technologies represented on the SuperComm '99 show floor. The SUPERQuest Awards program is sponsored by CMP Media Inc., publishers of tele.com magazine and InternetWeek, and by the Telecommunications Industry Association and United States Telephone Association. With over 130 entries in 12 categories, the second annual SUPERQuest Awards was established to recognize outstanding achievements in the implementation of network technology. "The SUPERQuest Awards are clearly among the most prestigious ways that our industry celebrates technology in action," said Jack Chalden, SuperComm '99 General Manager. MRV's Wireless Traffic Driver(TM) was recognized as the most promising new technology introduced at SuperComm '99 in the category of wireless technology. The Wireless Traffic Driver(TM) delivers a breakthrough patent pending technology by combining WDM technology and wireless transmission to distribute standard protocols at Gigabit speed in free space. This Wireless System combines high-speed Optical and Millimeter Wave Transmission on the same point-to-point link. This is the first time two wireless technologies, Optical and Millimeter Wave, have been unified and truly integrated under one parabolic mirror/antennae in a single device. The Wireless Traffic Driver(TM) provides convenience and ease of deployment for high-speed network services. It can be deployed at a fraction of the cost of laying new fiber in the ground.
