ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL -- 05/18/2005 -- ISCO International, Inc. (AMEX: ISO), a leading global supplier of RF management and interference-control solutions for the wireless telecommunications industry, provided a mid-quarter update on second quarter business activity.
"We continue to build on our first quarter momentum," said Mr. John Thode, President and CEO of ISCO. "Orders in hand that have been delivered or are expected to be delivered during the quarter are now well in excess of $2 million, the type of number the Company hadn't seen prior to 2005. We expect this number to continue to grow as we move through the quarter."
"New product development continues to progress as well. We look to add products to our ANF™ and RF2™ product families during each quarter of 2005, as we focus on growing our addressable market. For example, we now offer a suite of solutions for the increasingly active PCS spectrum (1900 MHz), designed based upon customer requirements for a highly integrated, high performance system solution."
