ADC Features Next-Generation Broadcast and Entertainment Connectivity Solutions at NAB2009

Advanced Broadcast Fiber Solutions Enable the Industry's Migration to High-Definition Digital Media

MINNEAPOLIS, Apr 15, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- ADC (NASDAQ: ADCT) (www.adc.com), today announced that it will showcase its innovative, high-performance, highly-dependable connectivity solutions for the broadcast and entertainment market at the National Association of Broadcasters conference and exhibition (NAB2009) in Las Vegas, April 20-23. ADC's full range of solutions for DTV, mobile HDTV, HD fiber, IPTV and IP will be shown at booth #N3400.

At the show, ADC will feature its fiber product portfolio that is designed to ease network migration from copper to fiber within the broadcasting industry. For years, television broadcasters have relied on copper coaxial cable to route video and audio control signals and RF around their facilities. As HD demand increases so does the need for more bandwidth and broadcasters are consequently shifting away from copper and embracing fiber optic cable feeds.

"ADC's engineers, who leverage the company's global fiber-optic expertise, create connectivity products that are designed specifically for the broadcast market as it transitions to HD digital media," said Dean Rosenthal, market manager for Broadcast and Enterprise Solutions at ADC. "Our comprehensive portfolio of broadcast connectivity solutions provides outstanding performance for real-world situations in today's changing broadcast environments."
