PCTEL Introduces MAXRAD(R) WiMAX Antenna with Integrated Variable Electrical Tilt (iVET(TM)) Technology.

CHICAGO -- PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCTI), a leader in wireless broadband solutions, today introduced the first in the line of its MAXRAD[R] high-gain sector panel antennas with integrated Variable Electrical Tilt (iVET(TM)) for WiMAX Base Stations. This antenna covers the 2.5 to 2.7 GHz frequency band, and is available in a 65 degree beamwidth. PCTEL will be demonstrating its WiMAX base station antennas as well as its portfolio of GPS, Mobile and other infrastructure antenna solutions at the at the CTIA Wireless 2007 industry show, booth # 3767, March 27-29, 2007 in Orlando, Florida.

The iVET technology provides the highest level of tilt accuracy, reliability and ease of deployment without any impact on zoning due to increased length typically seen with 'bolt on' solutions. It also allows for rapid and cost effective network optimization, removing or eliminating site access logistics required for antenna changes or adjustments. The MAXRAD WiMAX antenna uses an innovative high efficiency distribution network and phase shifter design that provide matched down-tilt on both polarizations along with calibration accuracy, the same technology that is used in PCTEL's cellular infrastructure antennas. The iVET functionality is completely enclosed in the antenna radome structure with no added external components. The antenna offers optimized radiation patterns to deliver market leading RF coverage providing 18dBi of gain in a 48 inch tall radome structure.

"As WiMAX transitions from fixed applications to mobile applications there is a need for sophisticated antenna systems that will allow the operators to quickly and cost effectively adjust and optimize their coverage patterns," said Jeff Miller, General Manager of PCTEL's Broadband Technology Group. "PCTEL is fully committed to support the evolution of WiMAX by providing innovative antenna solutions that meet the needs of a market that is growing fast," added Miller.
