CAMPBELL, CA--(Marketwire - April 20, 2009) - Exalt
Communications, a leading provider of high performance licensed and
license-exempt microwave radio microwave radio systems, announced today
that the Grundy County, Illinois, Emergency Telephone System Board (ETSB)
has deployed
Exalt EX-5r-c and
EX-4.9i point-to-point radio systems to provide critical voice and data
links for the fire, police and emergency medical personnel serving the
50,000 residents of this Chicago suburb.
"Our existing microwave links didn't give us the capacity and throughput we
needed, so we looked for alternatives," said Chris Kindelspire, electronics
manager for Grundy County ETSB. "We chose Exalt because of its strong
reputation for carrier grade microwave systems and its guaranteed
throughput. The systems have worked flawlessly for us."
The county's EX-4.9i
system carries four T1 lines and 55 Mbps of Ethernet data over a
distance of 12 miles. Their EX-5r-c system supports four T1 lines for 911 telephone
service as well as 100 megabits per second (Mbps) of Ethernet data for the
county's computer-aided dispatch system over a distance of six miles.
Should network traffic increase, Grundy County easily can upgrade the
EX-5r-c system to 200 Mbps aggregate Ethernet throughput.
"Public safety organizations need bullet-proof connectivity for critical
services and Exalt CarrierTDD systems are the only TDD radios that
guarantee throughput under all conditions," said Amir Zoufonoun, CEO of
Exalt. "Customers with mission-critical requirements like Grundy County
ETSB are increasingly turning to Exalt for cost-effective microwave radio
systems that offer high performance and high reliability in both
license-exempt and licensed radio bands."
