ORLAND PARK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 20, 1998--Andrew Corporation's 7.3-, 7.6-, and 9.3-meter Earth Station Antennas are now available with extended C-Band capabilities. The receive band for these antennas is 3.4-4.2 GHz and the transmit band 5.850-6.725 GHz. Extended C-Band is an option for operators needing a wider frequency band to expand their services globally. The broader bandwidth permits the delivery of real-time multimedia, broadcast, and Internet solutions to a growing number of customers. ESAs with extended C-Band capabilities provide an instant communications solution for the growing broadcasting and telecommunications needs of developing and under served countries and complement the increase in telecommunications activity in these areas. Andrew extended C-Band ESAs are constructed with precision-formed aluminum reflectors. Extensive use of hot-dipped galvanized steel, stainless steel, and high tensile friction-type hardware provides extended system operational life and increased antenna pointing accuracy. Fully shaped main reflector and Gregorian optics give excellent pattern characteristics and high gain performance. High quality design, materials, and workmanship ensure that Andrew ESAs operate efficiently even under extreme climactic conditions - with guaranteed 125 mph (200 km/h) wind survival in any position of operation. All Andrew ESAs have a three year warranty stipulating they are free from defects in materials and workmanship arising under normal use and service. Andrew is also developing LMI (Lockheed Martin and Intersputnik) and INSAT (Indian Space Research Organisation satellite) banded feed systems for its extended C-Band ESAs. The LMI receive band is 3.4-4.2 GHz and transmit band 5.725-6.725 GHz. The INSAT band is Rx 4.5-4.8 GHz and Tx 6.725-7.025 GHz.
