June 27, 2005 Corning, NY -- Corning Cable Systems has again been selected by NextG Networks, a provider of municipal cellular deployments, as NextG's national fiber-optic cable and hardware supplier in the construction of fiber-based distributed antenna networks. The companies signed an initial cable and hardware agreement late last year, and have agreed to extend the agreement through June 2006.
"NextG values its relationship with Corning Cable Systems, and we are proud to be working with them in rolling out our advanced wireless networks across the country," comments John Georges, CEO of NextG Networks. "We view Corning as the premium supplier of optical fiber cable and hardware, and an important part of our carrier-class wireless networks across the United States."
According to a press release, Corning has already supplied NextG Networks with more than 20,000 miles of Corning's cabled SMF-28e optical fiber, to build municipal cellular networks in areas including Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, and San Francisco. NextG says the relationship allows them to provide wireless carriers and service providers with an efficient way to enable service where coverage holes, capacity limitations, and restricted access can leave consumers underserved. The company says its RF-over-fiber transport architecture offers carriers virtually unlimited bandwidth and strong reliability.
"Distributed antenna networks are extremely efficient architectures for delivering RF to targeted areas," concludes Dr. Bernhard Deutsch, director of market development for Corning Cable Systems. "NextG Network's innovative technology elevates wireless networks to the next level by combining the benefits of wireless and fiber optic communications."
