NEW ORLEANS, March 14, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- CTIA Wireless 2005 Booth No. 2567 -- EMS Wireless, a division of EMS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:ELMG), announced today at CTIA Wireless 2005 that it successfully completed the first two phases of the installation of a wireless multi-carrier in-building system at the Library of Congress on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.
This EMS Wireless system uses EMS Wireless's EkoCell II system, which was designed specifically for the Library of Congress, and has far-reaching applications for other multi-carrier venues. The EkoCell II system will provide complete coverage for eight wireless service providers while minimizing the quantity of active components and interior antenna locations.
The Library of Congress covers more than four million square feet in three buildings on Capitol Hill. "A key design goal was to be sensitive to the visual aesthetics of the system so as to avoid any negative impact to the interior of these historic buildings," stated Gerald Hickman, General Manager, EMS Wireless. "As part of this concern, EMS Wireless's antenna engineering group developed the stealthy FIN multi-band server antenna, which is widely deployed throughout the Library." "Phases I and II of the installation were completed over a six-month period in 2004, while Phase III is on schedule for completion in the first quarter of 2005."
