Coverage Extender™ From Memorylink Provides Simple, Cost-Effective Expansion of Wireless Broadband Networks

TUCSON, Ariz., Oct. 2, 2006 – Wireless broadband network operators who want to reach customers beyond the range of their existing networks will soon be able to deploy Memorylink’s Coverage Extender™ RA5000C.

Memorylink’s RA5000C becomes the first commercial offering of Coverage Extender products designed to expand existing networks by working alongside wireless Ethernet radio equipment. Memorylink officially launched Coverage Extender this week during a summit of North American distributors and resellers of wireless equipment.  Memorylink is a gold sponsor of the summit in Tucson.

Memorylink’s Coverage Extender RA5000C provides power, sync and Ethernet from a connected wireless subscriber module (SM) to as many as three wireless access points (APs). By locating the connected SMs at the edge of an operator’s network with the Coverage Extender RA5000C, the range of an existing AP can extend to the newly connected APs. The result can be a more economical and reliable way for a wireless Internet service provider (WISP) to expand its customer base.

The Coverage Extender RA5000C meets the environmental requirements of a carrier-class solution. It also supplies power over Ethernet (POE) to all connected devices and sync to the connected APs. Additionally, it supports 2.4, 5.1, 5.2, 5.4, 5.7 GHz and 900 MHz radio platforms.

“By reducing the hurdle that some WISPs are required to surmount before they can profitably and reliably ‘light up’ a new coverage area, the RA5000C will likely gain immediate acceptance in their tool kit of wireless networking solutions,” said Jon Huard, Memorylink’s chief executive officer.

“Deployment of the Coverage Extender has been super simple because of its radio-compliant POE supply and its clean design,” said Jason Pfaff, Barrington, Ill.-based co-founder of Foresite Wireless LLC and a field tester of the Coverage Extender RA5000C. “It is reliable and our access points have never lost sync.  We're very happy and confident with this product in our network.”

The Memorylink Coverage Extender RA5000C will be available this quarter in North America from selected distributors and resellers. The RA5000C also can be obtained through selected Memorylink distributors listed at www.Memorylink.com.
