Replaces Existing DAS System with State-of-the-Art ADXV solution; Supports Future CBRS Installation
Burbank, Calif., November 11, 2019 -- Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. (ADRF), the largest pure-play in-building Distributed Antenna System (DAS) provider for public safety and commercial radio frequencies, announced today the deployment of its ADXV Medium Power Remote (MPR) DAS in Mexico’s Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR), which will deliver seamless wireless connectivity to five million passengers each year.
“PVR airport is one of Mexico’s busiest airports and an important gateway for international tourism,” said Gabriel Guevara, Sales Director of ADRF. “We are excited to enable better wireless service, ensuring each and every passenger can successfully use all digital tools at their disposal for airport wayfinding, trip planning, ground transport arrangements and other critical needs that are reliant on advanced mobile connectivity support.”
The system design is a three-sector configuration with 15 medium power remotes that provide coverage for the entire airport including arrivals, departures, ticketing, baggage claims and all secure areas. The DAS supports the frequency bands used by all three major carriers in Mexico, including 850 MHz 3G WCDMA, 1900 MHz GSM & WCDMA, 2100 MHz LTE, and the 700 APT LTE frequency band, which was crucial for the neutral-host when selecting a system for the airport. ADRF’s modular ADXV solution also supports the 2500 MHz FDD and CBRS bands for higher capacity needs.
“It was crucial for us to not only install a modern solution that can support the needs of the airport staff and customers today, but also address anticipated future requirements for robust wireless connectivity,” continued Guevara. “The ADXV’s modularity ensures we can continue to upgrade to new bands, add new carriers or increase coverage as needed.”

Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
