New --The 23% increase in orders compared to the preceding quarter was driven by the wireless infrastructure market in the United States. The company's first major LMDS (Local Multipoint Distribution Services) antenna order of $1.6 million was a part of the incremental order activity. LMDS is an emerging millimeter wave service designed to provide high speed internet access and two-way, broadband, wireless transmission of data, voice, and video. Large orders for equipment buildings, cable and other products for use in specialized mobile radio applications totaled over $18 million. Orders were received for over $3 million worth of equipment buildings to be used in Internet fiber optic networks. Brazil led the order strength in South America with three large terrestrial microwave and cable orders exceeding $1.0 million each. These Andrew products are used in wireless infrastructure and long distance backbone networks to support the traffic generated by Brazil's expanding cellular networks. In the Asia Pacific region, quarterly orders grew 100% sequentially with six large wireless infrastructure orders booked for cellular site construction in China, Japan, and Taiwan that totaled $11.5 million. no one is talking an all-IP network. Even Cisco had piles of brochures sitting on the registration areas entitled, "IP + ATM --- A Gateway to the New World."
