Headline: Glenayre Introduces Paging Transmitter For European Market ====================================================================== Vodafone the First Carrier to Install VHF Transmitter CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Glenayre today introduced the latest addition to its successful T8000 series of high-speed paging transmitters. The GL-T8411E operates on the VHF paging band and is designed specifically to the requirements of the European market. It supports all the popular paging protocols in use in Europe, including POCSAG, FLEX and ERMES. Every GL-T8411 also supports ReFLEX25. Vodafone Paging Ltd. of England is the first paging carrier to adopt the GL-T8411E. The company is preparing to install more than 400 units throughout its nationwide paging network, which provides alphanumeric and numeric service to England, Wales and Scotland. Additional GL-C2000 series controllers will also be installed as part of Vodafone's Glenayre system. Glenayre's GL-T8000 series transmitters provide a highly accurate paging signal and deliver superior performance at extreme temperatures, making them the industry standard for high-speed FLEX and ERMES applications. The GL- T8411E (100-200 watts) builds on this strength by offering a more compact and rugged package designed to reduce the need for external equipment and associated interfaces. Additional enhancements allow for easy maintenance access of the transmitter. A 125-watt version will be available later this year. For over 30 years, Glenayre Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:GEMS) has been developing leading edge personal telecommunication systems. Supplying products for both one and two-way paging networks, Glenayre also offers the industry's premiere migration solution from one-way systems to two-way functionality. With over 2,000 employees and with products installed in over 100 countries, Glenayre's net sales exceeded $451 million in 1997. Additional information about Glenayre is available at: glenayre.com .
