Spotwave Launches Expanded SpotCell 100 Feature Set

Feature set for the SpotCell 100 suite of products includes new Coverage Extension capability

OTTAWA, Canada - September 9, 2003 - Spotwave Wireless Inc., a wireless technology company solving the in-building reception problems common to users of wireless voice and data services, today announced a feature set of new capabilities for the SpotCell 100 family of repeater products.

"With nearly 1,000 SpotCell adaptive repeaters deployed in less than a year, we have a superb customer base from which to gather ongoing input to help guide our product development," said Shane Young, president & CEO, Spotwave Wireless Inc. "We are a recognised leader in targeted wireless coverage solutions and, with our customers' feedback, our SpotCell 100 family has rapidly evolved in terms of features, with a feature-rich and robust platform."

"Our continuing introduction of product enhancements and feature sets reflects our commitment to our carrier customers and our interest in satisfying both their needs and those of their customers," Young added.

Release highlights common to SpotCell 100, SpotCell 111, and SpotCell 112 family:

  • Support for Coverage Extension Antenna: Extends the coverage area by 25%; allows coverage to be moved around obstructions.
  • Support for SpotCell Viewer Release 2.0: Eliminates site visits to monitor performance; provides remote control of SpotCell products.
  • Advanced, adaptive algorithms optimize installation and operation; more robust and reduced interference.

New to the SpotCell product line is the SpotCell Coverage Extension Antenna. The SpotCell family has integrated antennas that provide predictable performance with consistent coverage. Users can now cost effectively expand the size of the coverage area of a SpotCell solution into areas adjacent to the main coverage area including areas that are typically shadowed by elevator shafts, firewalls or duct work.

Like all SpotCell products, the SpotCell 100, SpotCell 111 and SpotCell 112 family are complete "out-of-the-box" coverage solutions and can be deployed in any location requiring 25,000+ square feet of coverage, including big-box retail outlets, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, multi-tenant buildings and small home offices.
