ADC Expands FTTX Outside Plant Services; Enhanced Professional Services Offering Covers Central Office, Outside Plant FTTX Deplo

ADC (NASDAQ:ADCTD; www.adc.com) announced today the
expansion of its Professional Services fiber-to-the-X (FTTX)
deployment capabilities. The company's Professional Services Business
Unit now offers a comprehensive set of services for central office
(CO) and outside-plant (OSP) FTTX deployments, enabling carriers to
speed deployment, lower deployment costs, obtain consistent quality
from site to site, and improve time to market and revenues for new
broadband services.
   "Competition and increasing demand for video and high-speed
digital services are driving FTTX deployments. This requires a
substantial investment in upgrading both CO and OSP facilities to
delivery these services," said Jo Anne Anderson, president of the
Professional Services Business Unit for ADC. "Our expanded OSP
services include project management, preconfigured cabinet solutions,
site prep services, full engineering, furnishing and installation, and
commissioning and integration. It's a complete suite of services
designed to ensure OSP deployment success in any FTTX network."
   ADC's Professional Services group offers multivendor integration
for pad and pole mount cabinets, active and passive equipment, primary
and backup power, and thermal management. The company's team of
integrators delivers proven design and installation expertise and
provides the quality controls telecommunication networks require for
FTTX services delivery.
   In addition to outside-plant services, ADC offers carriers its
FTTX Service Pack for the CO, launched in 2004. This bundle of
professional services helps carriers determine whether their COs and
OSP are FTTX ready, and if not what changes need to occur to meet the
higher capacity demands that FTTX deployments create.
   ADC provides a broad range of integration services to help
operators increase the capacity of their networks, more effectively
manage their assets and maximize their network infrastructure. More
