Powerwave Introduces New Line of Advanced Train Repeaters, Providing Seamless Wireless Coverage for Railway Passengers

GSMA Mobile World Congress 2009, Stand #8C115 – Powerwave Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:PWAV), a global leader in end-to-end wireless coverage and capacity solutions, today announced a new family of Advanced Train Repeaters addressing the need for seamless in-train wireless coverage.

The repeaters are the only in-train offering on the market to leverage Global Positioning System (GPS) technology for accurate mapping of base station locations to facilitate automatic reconfiguration of repeater parameters – critical to support uninterrupted wireless access while the train is in motion.

Capable of maintaining signal quality in a moving environment where radio frequency (RF) conditions vary along the track, Powerwave’s Advanced Train Repeaters offer a modular, robust design that is easy to install, manage and upgrade. Supporting multi-carrier and multi-band operation, the repeaters support PGSM 900, EGSM 900, DCS 1800 and UMTS 2100. Additionally, Powerwave’s in-train repeaters are the only offerings on the market to also support UMTS 900 protocols.

The repeaters, which feature Powerwave’s renowned reliability, also offer energy-efficiency via automatic “power down” mode that is GPS-activated when the train is at rest, for example in a depot yard.

Powerwave’s new in-train repeaters complement the company’s existing wireless coverage solutions tailored for the transportation sector, and leverage its extensive experience in subway and tunnel deployments around the globe – including Barcelona Metro, Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), São Paulo Metro and Cercanias Madrid.

Already, Powerwave’s in-train repeaters are on the “fast track” to deployment; the first commuters to take advantage of uninterrupted wireless connectivity delivered via Powerwave’s new in-train repeaters are those travelling on Gardermobanen in Norway, a 60-kilometer high speed rail line between Oslo Central Station and Oslo Airport-Gardermoen.

“For the European business community, high-speed rail is fast becoming the mobile office of choice, enabling travelers to conduct business as usual between destinations thanks to advanced wireless infrastructure such as Powerwave’s innovative in-train repeaters,” said Khurram P. Sheikh, chief product and development officer, Powerwave Technologies, Inc. “Our new line of Advanced Train Repeaters helps ensure seamless wireless connectivity, ensuring uncompromised commuter productivity.”

Powerwave’s Advanced Train Repeaters can be managed remotely through Powerwave’s Netway Manager, an SNMP-based platform that centrally monitors and manages repeater networks. Working through Netway Manager, operators can ensure remote access to their repeaters – even in a multi-operator railway coverage setting.

Powerwave’s Advanced Train Repeaters are now shipping. Units can be installed in a 19-inch rack on existing infrastructure on or within the train, helping to minimize installation costs.
