Safaricom Deploys ADC

MINNEAPOLIS -- ADC (NASDAQ: ADCT - News) (www.adc.com) today announced that Safaricom (http://www.safaricom.co.ke/), one of Kenya’s leading telecommunications companies, is using its InterReach Fusion® solutions to provide in-building wireless coverage at over 40 sites in Kenya, including the famous 14-storey Landmark Plaza in Nairobi. Safaricom selected ADC’s InterReach Fusion systems because they offer precision control of the power output to each remote antenna, which improves call quality and reduces the number of antennas needed at each installation. The InterReach Fusion solution also uses standard structured building cabling and other components that can be sourced locally in Kenya, which reduces installation and maintenance costs.

Kevin Shepherd, general manager at AlanDick East Africa, ADC’s distributor in Kenya, said, “We have found that ADC’s in-building wireless products offer tremendous flexibility and scalability for our market, where we provide coverage for a large variety of buildings including shopping malls, hotels and office buildings.”
