US Cellular to Improve Indoor Coverage

ADC has reached an agreement with U.S. Cellular to deploy its Digivance Indoor Coverage Solution (ICS). This technology platform will extend U.S. Cellular's wireless coverage within a single building or multiple-building campus environment.

"This agreement demonstrates U.S. Cellular's commitment to superior customer service and satisfaction," said Michael S. Irizarry, executive vice president of engineering and chief technical officer for U.S. Cellular. "With the support of Digivance ICS, we will continue to deliver exceptional wireless services and improved in-building communication to our consumers."

"We are pleased to partner with U.S. Cellular on this in-building wireless solution," said Jeff Quiram, president of the Wireless Business Unit for ADC. "Digivance ICS will provide U.S. Cellular with a cost-effective way to extend wireless coverage to buildings and campus environments with fewer interrupted or dropped calls."

Introduced in 2000, the Digivance product family offers point-to-point and point-to-multipoint solutions for nearly any coverage situation. Digivance is currently providing service in applications such as office buildings, campus environments, hospitals, stadiums, convention centers, shopping malls and tunnels."
