WESTCHESTER, Ill.--(Business Wire)--
Since the best problems are those successfully avoided, Andrew
Wireless Solutions, the CommScope, Inc. division that is a global
leader in communications systems and products, has introduced the
OneBase InSite(TM) product family, which enables wireless operators to
monitor cell sites remotely for performance degradation before it
affects network integrity.

   By routinely monitoring network performance at each cell site, the
two new InSite products help operators prevent minor problems from
turning into major disruptions, saving them money by avoiding costly
dispatches of emergency repair crews and helping maintain customer
satisfaction. "Operators cannot afford to have a site go down due to
power loss, failing equipment or other concerns," said John Baker,
vice president, Technical Marketing, Wireless Network Solutions,
Andrew. "InSite is the smarter, easier way to track cell site
performance regularly."

   InSite Connect acts as the central notification center for site
alarms and status information, and it supports remote configuration
adjustments and tower equipment maintenance among its many
capabilities. InSite Connect includes a remote electrical tilt (RET)
controller that allows for remote monitoring and controlling of AISG
compliant RET antennas and tower mounted amplifiers.

   InSite RF is a stand-alone unit mounted in or alongside a standard
base station transceiver (BTS) rack, which works with any original
equipment manufacturer's BTS radio equipment. It can run site tests
automatically according to a schedule or in real-time via an Internet
connection. InSite RF takes readings on antenna return loss, uplink
and downlink VSWR, pilot power, and other site metrics and will notify
radio frequency technicians via alarms when performance is at or
nearing sub-par levels. The system will begin customer trials in May.
Initial support is for CDMA wireless protocols, with expansion to
handle other technologies soon to follow.

   InSite RF is Andrew's first stand-alone site diagnostic product
for installation at the BTS site, though a similar solution has
previously been sold as part of the company's multicarrier power
amplifier. Andrew will display its OneBase InSite product family at
the CTIA WIRELESS 2008 show in Las Vegas, Nevada, on April 1-3.
