3G Interference-Management Potential Identified

3G Interference-Management Potential Identified

ISCO International announced the receipt of a purchase
order from a wireless operator in Israel.

During 2002, ISCO was asked to help resolve a significant in-band interference problem for a network operator based in Israel. As a result of those efforts, the operator has placed a purchase order with ISCO requesting nearly half a million dollars worth of ANF (Adaptive Notch Filter(TM)) solutions to be delivered during the first quarter of 2003.

Dr. Amr Abdelmonem, ISCO's CEO, stated, "This represents the first
significant deployment of ANF(TM) solutions outside North America. In working
with this operator it was clear that ISCO could provide significant benefits
to the performance of an existing CDMA network that was experiencing severe
in-band interference. We are pleased that this operator has moved forward
with what we expect is the first of a series of purchases of ANF(TM) solutions
for this network. We also expect that, on a global basis, operator upgrades
from conventional 2G systems to data-carrying 2.5G and 3G systems will
accelerate the demand for the interference-management products and services
provided by ISCO."

ISCO has the broadest range of interference-control solutions in the
industry. Its ANF(TM) (Adaptive Notch Filter(TM)) line is the only patented
product in the world that suppresses in-band interference in a CDMA carrier
within 20 milliseconds. The company also provides the widest range of
configurations for HTS out-of-band interference solutions that support
cellular, PCS, 2.5G and 3G systems. Its products include the smallest,
failure-proof all-temperature HTS filter on the market today, the patented
ATP(TM) system. ISCO has also developed ultra-high-performance super-
conducting front-end products, including both transmitter and receiver
products for emerging data-capable WCDMA and CDMA 2000 systems. These next
generation wireless systems are expected to replace current wireless systems
over the next several years.
