(COMTEX) B: Repeater Technologies Signs UbiquiTel Contract B: Repeater Technologies Signs UbiquiTel Contract SAN DIEGO, Oct 26, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Repeater Technologies (Nasdaq:RPTR) here today announced the signing of a contract with UbiquiTel PCS (Nasdaq:UPCS), one of the largest Sprint PCS (NYSE:PCS) Network Partners. The contract calls for the delivery of RepeaterHybrid Network(TM) (RHN) systems and associated equipment and services to the CDMA carrier during an 18-month period. Repeater Technologies is assisting UbiquiTel with network design and network optimization. RepeaterStar(TM) donor antennas and battery backup systems are included in the contract. The Bala Cynwyd, Pa.-based PCS carrier expects to deploy RHNs to serve portions of the population centers in its respective markets and the interstates and primary roads connecting these areas. "We spoke to other carriers that are using Repeater Technologies' equipment. The feedback we received was highly complimentary about both equipment performance and Repeater Technologies' customer service," said Dean Russell, UbiquiTel chief operations officer. "In our 10 markets, there are many interstates, intrastates and transportation corridors such as I-15 in Utah, and we realize that Repeater Technologies' CDMA repeaters provide excellent highway coverage at the least expense." UbiquiTel's markets include the most important transportation corridors that link the population centers within a particular market. The network will cover more than 2,200 highway miles, including major interstates such as I-80 and I-90. More than 45 million vehicle miles are traveled daily on the 2,200 miles of major highways in UbiquiTel's markets. "Repeaters are an integral network element for UbiquiTel's coverage of the important transportation corridors in its markets," said Ken Kenitzer, Repeater Technologies chief executive officer and president. "We are pleased to help UbiquiTel to build out its markets and to provide quality, cost-effective coverage." UbiquiTel is the exclusive provider of Sprint PCS digital wireless personal communication services to mid-size and smaller markets in the western and midwestern United States, covering a total population of approximately 7.7 million residents. When complete, the majority of UbiquiTel's network will cover portions of California, Nevada, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee. Repeater Technologies, headquartered in Sunnyvale, Calif., develops, markets and sells wireless coverage enhancement solutions primarily to wireless service providers.
