MetroFi Selects ADC's Service Gateway To Deploy Wi-Fi Networks In California Municipalities; SG-1 Delivers Enhanced Network Access and User Experience for Customers

Business Wire, April 5, 2006

MINNEAPOLIS -- ADC (NASDAQ:ADCT)(www.adc.com), a leader in communications network infrastructure solutions, today announced that MetroFi, Inc., a leader in designing, building and operating Wi-Fi networks, is deploying ADC's SG-1 Service Gateway in its Wi-Fi network that currently provides wireless Internet services for customers in Cupertino, Santa Clara and Sunnyvale, California. MetroFi's Wi-Fi network is also being expanded into other communities across the country. The SG-1 Service Gateway will be featured at CTIA Wireless 2006 in ADC's Booth #117, April 5-7 in Las Vegas.

The SG-1 Service Gateway is the first carrier-class gateway product to offer dynamic "on-the-fly" service creation capabilities. Ideally suited for WLAN and other broadband ATM or IP-based networks (DSL, Cable, Dial-up), the SG-1 allows service providers to add an intelligent layer of value-added services. Service providers can now profitably offer differentiated services and content to individual users based on their user profile.

"Overall, we are extremely happy with the SG-1 solution. It works exactly as we had envisioned from our initial meetings, and has the best architecture of any solution we have seen to date," said Nagaraju Bandaru, vice president of engineering for MetroFi. "With the SG-1, we are pleased to provide quality access and superior user experience for our customers and visitors to our network."

The SG-1's innovative technology allows bandwidth-on-demand, application awareness (VoIP), creation of walled gardens, IP filtering, and enforcement of several different subscriber policies and security, including Spam throttling, on any individual user session. Its unique drop-in-architecture allows the product to co-exist with any existing network or web technology. Designed for central office or distributed, remote customer premises environments, the SG-1's access control features, combined with dynamic interactive service capabilities, support from 1,000 to 64,000 concurrent users on one 16-slot system.

MetroFi delivers free Internet access services supported by banner advertising from local and national advertisers. Customers who want an Internet access experience without ads can connect to the MetroFi network premium service at approximately $20 per month.

MetroFi takes a holistic approach to network rollout, activating an entire community at once for pervasive broadband coverage. Using proven 802.11 a/b/g technologies with RF and firmware enhancements, MetroFi creates a robust network designed for reliable high-speed connectivity.

"We are excited to be part of MetroFi's Wi-Fi services deployment," said Hilton Nicholson, president of Active Infrastructure Business Unit for ADC. "Our SG-1 Service Gateway is helping MetroFi provide enhanced user experience for its customers through unparalleled access and differentiated services."
