Maurice and thread, Can you or someone on this thread comment on the significance of this, if any, to Q*? Thanks in advance. LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES AND REPEATER TECHNOLOGIES SIGN SALES REFERRAL AGREEMENT FOR CDMA REPEATERS BUSINESS EDITORS/HIGH-TECH WRITERS SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 13, 1998--Repeater Technologies today announced a three year sales referral agreement with Lucent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:LU.N) designating the Over-the-Air 1900 CDMA Network Repeater as the solution for repeater hybrid networks. No financial terms were disclosed. Under the terms of the agreement, Lucent Technologies will, on a non-exclusive basis, refer global service operators to Repeater Technologies when the requirements call for repeater hybrid networks. Lucent will provide complete proposals, including RF design, integrating Repeater Technologies Network Repeaters with Lucent CDMA wireless infrastructure, giving CDMA service operators the potential to lower initial build-out costs over conventional deployments in suburban, rural and rural highway coverage areas. Repeater Technologies has demonstrated the possible effectiveness of repeater hybrid networks for CDMA systems with its patent-pending diversity feature. The OA1900C NR constitutes the first commercially available CDMA repeater offering 6.3 watts output power, which features receive diversity and maintains the extended battery talk-time for the subscriber. "We are pleased to offer CDMA carriers a new choice in network build-out. Where coverage is the primary driver for a CDMA carrier, then repeater hybrid networks may provide a low cost alternative," said Cindy Christy, Lucent Technologies vice president of product management. "Lucent has an excellent track record, and we are excited to team with Lucent in the build-out of CDMA networks," according to Ken Kenitzer, Repeater Technologies president and chief executive officer. "This relationship will enable CDMA carriers to achieve a cost effective network deployment for coverage." Repeater Technologies invented the diversity option for over-the-air CDMA repeaters with a patent now pending and invented and patented linked repeaters. The company is a total repeater solution provider offering over-the-air and linked Network Repeaters, RepeaterNet network management software and RepeaterCAD RF engineering design tools and services. These innovative offerings allow wireless service operators to implement RepeaterHybrid Networks that may lower their infrastructure costs. Repeater Technologies currently supports more than 400 customers in 60 countries on six continents for the AMPS, CDMA and TDMA standards in cellular, PCS, wireless local loop and in-building wireless networks.
