GSMA Mobile World Congress, Barcelona -- Zinwave, a pioneer of next
generation in-building cellular and wireless technology, today launches
its 3000 Active Wideband Distributed Antenna System (DAS). Designed to
support and aggregate a multi-service, multi-operator wireless
environment, the Zinwave 3000 is the most cost-effective in-building
coverage system. The system supports the full wireless spectrum, from
136MHz through to 2.7GHz on a single platform.

A true wideband system - no parallel service specific units and no
cabling overlays - the Zinwave 3000 allows businesses and facilities to
deploy a single centrally managed platform to support
multi-service/multi-operator wireless coverage. Any number or
combination of services are supported - including 2G/3G to LTE; WiFi;
WiMAX; TETRA; private mobile radio; RFID; DVB-H; etc - enabling
simultaneous mobility for employees, consumers and emergency services.
It is also the only active DAS system that can support Time Division
Duplex (TDD) services.

The scalability and flexibility afforded by the Zinwave 3000 ensures
wireless coverage can be delivered to the most complex of locations and
structures, including multi-building campus sites, high-rise offices,
or large complexes such as airports. The Zinwave 3000 can utilise
single-mode (SMF) or multi-mode (MMF) fibre (with a coaxial option),
allowing the use of existing fibre infrastructure where available.

Jonathan Paget, CEO of Zinwave, comments, "The rapid evolution and
convergence of wireless technologies and services, coupled with the
emerging trend of frequency migration of existing services, is a
complex battle-ground for both businesses and operators alike. Each
requires the agility and infrastructure to quickly and cost-effectively
deploy new wireless services and upgrade applications on-demand in
order to retain consumer loyalty; generate new revenues; or enable
greater productivity from employees.

"With the launch of Zinwave's 3000 Active Wideband DAS, enterprises and
operators are able to aggregate multiple wireless services onto a
single in-building infrastructure, whether in a greenfield site or
building upon existing fibre cabling. As a result of this unique
capability, coupled with the low cost patented wideband technology,
businesses and operators can benefit from significantly reduced Capex
and Opex costs for in-building coverage.

Paget concludes, "Importantly the Zinwave 3000 supports new and
frequency migrating services without the need for disruptive and costly
upgrades, additional hardware, or cable overlays. In doing so
businesses can be assured that our innovation will increase their
bottom-line profits. Even with a cellular only requirement, the Zinwave
3000 offers a simple DAS solution at a substantially lower cost than
alternative solutions on the market today."

Key features of the Zinwave 3000 Active Wideband DAS include:

* Multiple services distributed simultaneously with the same components
and cable layout

* High power un-obtrusive Remote Units that connect via MMF, SMF or
coaxial cable

* Future proof - Additional services can be added with no additional
components or infrastructure

* Scalable and flexible - Single or dual star architecture, can be
tailored to suit every environment, building size, topology or required
connectivity

* Highly cost-effective - Through ease of planning, installation and
management.

Furthermore, the Zinwave 3000 provides a built-in Element Management
System (EMS), for centralised monitoring and configuration. A web-based
interface allows the management features to be accessed without
requiring any proprietary equipment of software. Alternatively an SNMP
interface allows integration into existing management systems.
