Allgon Wins 3G Antenna Supply Contract

Allgon has been appointed 3G roll out partner by Italy's TIM (Telecom Italia Mobile). Allgon is one of TIM's suppliers for triple band base station antennas to provide coverage for the GSM900, 1800 and UMTS bands. As a complement to the triple band antenna build-out, TIM will also use Allgon's broadband antennas. The new antennas include Allgon's patented Manually adjustable Electrical Tilt (MET) function, which offer operators flexibility in tuning of antenna systems, and also logistical advantages.

"The appointment of Allgon as a partner of a leading mobile operator is very important to us, and confirms the competence of our high quality base station antenna solutions. The performance of the wireless infrastructure is crucial to 3G service quality", said Jeff Bork, CEO of Allgon."
