This news came out Friday afternoon, not the best timing, to be sure. Though they may have timed it to precede Monday's show opening:andrew.com Also, I saw an earnings calendar that lists July 15, with .16 the First Call consensus. <<< Friday July 9, 3:39 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release HELIAX VXL5-50 Extra Flexible Coaxial Cable For Jumper-Free Wireless Applications -- lighter weight, more flexible coaxial cable lowers site costs -- ORLAND PARK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 9, 1999-- Andrew Corporation introduced HELIAX© VXL5-50 extra flexible 7/8-inch coaxial cable for wireless applications. The new cable has a minimum bend radius of just 3.5-inches and is suitable for continuous cable runs from the base station cabinet to the antenna. When used as the main feeder line, VXL5-50 cable requires fewer connectors (lowering insertion loss) and no jumpers (minimizing installation time). HELIAX VXL5-50 cable is 15% lighter than standard 7/8-inch cable products. The cable's reduced weight and tighter bending radius minimizes installation time and lowers site costs. Versatile and flexible, VXL5-50 cable is also suitable for installation in difficult areas such as lift shafts, monopoles, and colocated sites. ``Lowering site costs is critical to wireless suppliers,' said Michael Guerin, Andrew Corporation's product line manager for HELIAX cable. ``VXL5-50 gives superior performance, can be installed faster and may be used as a standalone jumper - making it the lowest-loss jumper cable solution in the industry.' HELIAX VXL5-50 cable has a full 10-year warranty and is available in standard or fire- retardant versions.
