Andrew Opens India Facility

WESTCHESTER, Ill. -- Andrew Corporation, a global leader in communications systems and products, has become the first company to manufacture both radio frequency cable products and antennas in India with the opening of its newly-built production facility in Goa.

Andrew's new Indian facility will serve the various equipment manufacturers and network operators in this rapidly growing market with technically superior, high quality products which previously were available only through importing. For the first time, customers can benefit from the local supply of Indian-produced RF products that include Andrew's HELIAX® coaxial cable, connectors, and accessories; Decibel® base station antennas; and ValuLine® and Advantage terrestrial microwave antennas, backed by in-country technical assistance and customer support. The new facility also hosts a staffed service and repair depot for Andrew RF repeater products.

"As we approach the 10-year anniversary of the establishment of our local subsidiary in India, Andrew is proud to significantly expand its capabilities in support of this nation's rapid deployment of wireless networks," said John DeSana, group president, Antenna and Cable Products Segment, Andrew Corporation. "Our new Goa facility, with state-of-the-art RF equipment and manufacturing processes that are unique to India, will deliver tangible benefits to our customers that will accelerate network deployment, reduce unnecessary costs, and improve quality."
