This is a good sized order for Airnet since their total 1999 revenues were ~$17M: (BSNS WIRE) AirNet Announces $7 Million Order From Carolina PCS; Total Exce AirNet Announces $7 Million Order From Carolina PCS; Total Exceeds $21 Million Business/Technology Editors MELBOURNE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 10, 2000--AirNet(R) Communications Corporation (NASDAQ:ANCC) announced today that recent orders from Carolina PCS bring total purchases to more than $21 Million. New orders exceeding $7 Million for additional base stations and software mean that Carolina PCS has ordered more than 300 AirNet GSM Base Stations to deliver wireless service in their licensed Basic Trading Areas. The new orders were placed under terms of a previously announced contract signed with Carolina Phone in 1998. AirNet is currently deploying equipment in several South Carolina cities under the first phase of this contract. Newly ordered equipment will be used to build out the Columbia, South Carolina market as well as expand coverage in additional areas. The equipment to be supplied by AirNet includes AdaptaCell(TM) broadband software-defined Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs), AirSite(R) Backhaul Free Base Stations(TM) and Triple Capacity AirSite Backhaul Free Base Stations. "With the cost advantages provided by the AirNet backhaul free solution we've been able to build out our system more rapidly than otherwise possible," said Michael Green, president and CEO of Carolina Phone. "In addition, AirNet's broadband, software-defined technology has us well-positioned for the future when our customers begin to demand high-speed wireless Internet services. We were looking for a partner we could work with in the long term and we've found that with AirNet." Source: biz.yahoo.com
