ADC Awarded $4.5 Million Contract for Brazilian Deployment of the BroadAccess Multiservice Access Platform MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 4, 2000--ADC (Nasdaq: ADCT, www.adc.com), a leading global supplier of fiber optics, network equipment, software and integration services for broadband, multiservice networks, today announced a contract with Companhia Riograndense de Telecomunicacoes (CRT), a leading telecommunications provider in Brazil. The contract estimated $4.5 million includes the supply and installation of BroadAccess Multiservice Access Platforms and will be implemented by Meta Telecomunicacoes, ADC's local subsidiary in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul. "We are very pleased with BroadAccess capabilities and evolution, and we found it to be one of the most cost-effective solutions for provisioning of narrowband and broadband services to our residential and business subscribers," said Jaques Diskin, general manager of the Planning Department at CRT. "We are proud to receive this award, achieved through a bidding process of this major operator," said Amnon Unger, president of ADC Teledata. "BroadAccess' support of SDH transport enables CRT to serve thousands of subscribers over SDH optical rings and to supply a mix of voice and high bit-rate data services such as ADSL." BroadAccess is the first access system to be approved by CPqD, a recognized Brazilian standards institute, fully complying with ABNT (Brazilian Technical Standard Association) standard for V5.2 switch interfaces. BroadAccess is deployed in more than 50 countries. It is a sophisticated fiber-based multiservice access platform that enables the delivery of narrowband and broadband services from POTS to xDSL on a single shelf. The platform interfaces to local exchanges through V5.2/V5.1 digital protocols or 2W connections and to ATM backbones through E1s or STM-1 User Network Interface (UNI).
