Corning Cable Systems, part of Corning Incorporated's
Telecommunications segment, has again been selected by NextG
Networks as its national fiber optic cable and hardware supplier.
NextG Networks, a market leader in municipal cellular deployments,
will continue to use Corning Cable Systems' products in its
fiber-based distributed antenna networks across the United States.
The relationship allows NextG Networks to provide wireless carriers
and service providers a fast and economical way to enable service
where coverage holes, capacity limitations and restricted access
have previously left consumers underserved. NextG's unique
RF-over-fiber transport architecture offers carriers the virtually
unlimited bandwidth capacity and strong reliability of optical
fiber. Corning Cable Systems has already supplied NextG Networks
with more than 20,000 miles of cabled SMF-28e(R) optical fiber to
build its municipal cellular networks in areas including Los
Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago and San Francisco. The two companies
signed an initial cable and hardware agreement late last year and
have now 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," said John Georges, chief executive
officer 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."
"Distributed antenna networks are extremely efficient architectures
for delivering RF to targeted areas," said 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." Corning Cable Systems is an industry-leading
