MICRONETICS WIRELESS INTRODUCES NEW LINE OF RF SWITCHES FOR USE IN WIRELESS INFRASTRUCTURE EQUIPMENT
San Francisco, CA -- Today at the Wireless '97 Show, Micronetics Wireless, Inc., (NASDAQ:NOIZ) introduced a number of new RF component switches designed for specific applications in the wireless network infrastructure.

"What these switches offer is a high level of performance and reliability," says Dave Robbins, Chief Technical Officer. "We've already been making switches like these for years -- they're used in microwave and satellite systems. Now, by zeroing in on specific cellular bandwidths and changing the packaging, we're able to reduce costs while keeping reliability constant."

Several of the new switches are solid state switches, which have virtually no limitations on how many times they can be switched. Micronetics new PCS Failsafe Switch is a solid state switch that was adapted from an electromechanical design. The new design offers far greater reliability, especially important when you consider the fact that wireless systems are scattered across wide geographic areas, often making it difficult to find and correct problems.

Another switch designed for use in cellular and PCS base stations is equipped to handle high power levels while keeping performance levels steady. And there's another that's ideal for use in back-up amplifiers for either cellular or PCS systems.

"This new switch line is part of our continuing effort to find new applications, new niches, for Micronetics products within the wireless industry," Robbins explains.

Based in Hudson, NH, Micronetics Wireless engineers and manufactures specialized components and test equipment designed to help OEMs and service providers deliver high quality, reliable communications systems and services.
