All, Old news, (I do not believe this WCDMA WLL is a CDMAone related) Spectrian Receives Contract for LGIC's Korean Wireless Local Loop Application Will Supply New 40-Watt W-CDMA Power Amplifiers for WLL ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 23, 1998--Spectrian Corporation (NASDAQ:SPCT - news), the leading manufacturer of ultra linear, high-power RF amplification systems for wireless infrastructure manufacturers and service providers, today announced that it has received a contract to supply 40-watt wide-band CDMA (W-CDMA) single channel power amplifiers for LGIC's new Wireless Local Loop (WLL) base stations which will be deployed in Korea's initial WLL network. Field trials are expected to begin in March 1998. Spectrian will be demonstrating its W-CDMA power amplification technology in Booth No. 6453 at Wireless '98, being held Feb. 23-25, 1998 in Atlanta. ''Spectrian continues to lead the industry in delivering power amplifiers for the latest emerging wireless network technologies,'' said Garrett A. Garrettson, president and chief executive officer at Spectrian. ''Our new 40-watt power amplifier for LGIC is one of the first W-CDMA amplifiers available for WLL, and we are pleased to be participating in the first field trials in this emerging Korean wide-band CDMA network.'' Industry forecasts predict that the number of subscribers served by WLL systems will grow from approximately 10 million at the end of 1997 to more than 40 million by the year 2001. The Korean WLL system will likely be the first commercial deployment of a standardized system based on W-CDMA technology. Garrettson added, ''W-CDMA technology has been selected by ETSI as the air interface technology for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) and will likely play a major role in the International Telecommunications Union's process for defining IMT-2000, the Third Generation wireless system.'' Spectrian's new W-CDMA platform is designed specifically for wideband CDMA WLL networks operating in the 2.4 GHz spectrum and will include a family of products ranging in power from 10 to 40 Watts. Korean service providers will be utilizing the WLL network primarily for commercial wireless applications to integrate voice and data, including ISDN capabilities. Data transport rates over the WLL network are expected to approach 2 Mbps. Brian H.
