Congratulations<br />
SAC Wireless is<br />
and wearing <strong>Primus</strong><br />
<strong>Primus</strong> would like to congratulate and thank SAC Wireless for entering and winning our Cover Photo Contest this quarter.<br />
About SAC Wireless<br />
SAC Wireless is recognized as one of the nation’s premier<br />
providers of wireless network deployment and project management<br />
services. Since 1996, the company has been delivering results<br />
for the wireless community, on-time, on-budget, and with the<br />
quality required for today’s wireless networks and infrastructure.<br />
SAC Wireless self-performs its services: They are the site development<br />
agent negotiating the rooftop lease, the zoning agent<br />
in the community hearing, the expediter pulling the permit, the architect<br />
developing solutions for a stealth site, and the engineer<br />
working rev g of the structural analysis. They are the site supervisor<br />
managing the 2 a.m. maintenance window, the tower climber<br />
on site in the cold of winter, and the technician commissioning the<br />
base station.<br />
The company’s teams are the first to begin work, the last to<br />
leave, and the one to call for the right result. At SAC Wireless,<br />
they make wireless networks work.<br />
Pictured in the photo are key members of the company’s team<br />
utilizing the SAC Wireless Training Facility in Schaumburg, IL.<br />
Their indoor Training Facility is staffed by the company’s internal<br />
certified instructors providing all of their tower climbers, technicians,<br />
and civil crews with the following certifications: Com Train,<br />
CPR/First Aid, Rigging, OSHA 10, RF Safety, Forklift and Manlift,<br />
and Trenching and Shoring. For more information about SAC<br />
Wireless, visit www.sacw.com.<br />
MESSAGE from the President<br />
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of <strong>Primus</strong><br />
<strong>Electronics</strong> Co-Founder Robert Cranmer. Mr. Cranmer along with<br />
Dr. Michael S. Greenwald founded <strong>Primus</strong> in August 1981.<br />
Mr. Cranmer resigned as President and sold his interest in<br />
<strong>Primus</strong> in 1991. While it has been some time since Bob has had<br />
involvement in <strong>Primus</strong>, his substantial contributions to our early<br />
years are felt and appreciated to this date.<br />
Mr. Cranmer is survived by his wife Patty and their three children<br />
as well as seven grandchildren.<br />
We will miss the man that the industry had come to affectionately<br />
know as “Big Order Bob.”<br />
Robert E. Cranmer<br />

Andrew Sector Frame Challenge<br />
VS<br />
<strong>Primus</strong><br />
While visiting <strong>Primus</strong>, guest BeLinda Fadely with Andrew <strong>Corporation</strong> presented employees with a fun and educational Sector Frame<br />
Challenge. Teams were divided into guys versus girls with the guys having to assemble a standard Andrew sector frame while the girls<br />
were responsible for the assembly of an Andrew Quik-tee Sector Frame. See the teams happily accept the challenge and race to win:<br />
The guys spend a few moments reading the instructions and developing their<br />
master plan...<br />
...While the girls instantly take the lead by unpacking the parts and following<br />
instructions.<br />
The guys work seamlessly and take the lead...<br />
...While the girls proudly ask the assistance of <strong>Primus</strong> employee Ken Davis<br />
to lend a hand helping with the heavier parts.<br />
The guys (l-r) Rich Gebhart, Chris Pleibel, Gerry Fritzke, and Rob<br />
Menees, Regional Sales Managers of <strong>Primus</strong>, stand proud next to<br />
their assembled sector frame...<br />
...While the girls (l-r) Diane Mueller, BeLinda Fadely (Andrew <strong>Corporation</strong>),<br />
Shannon O’Connor, Lana Peralez and Jamie Smith with Ken Davis, stand<br />
proud of their accomplishment.<br />
And the winner is:<br />
This wasn’t easy. By the clock, the girls finished their assembly just minutes before the guys. The guys however, took it<br />
upon themselves to examine the girls work and after careful review, noticed that a part was never assembled on the<br />
girls Quik-tee Sector Frame, making them the winners. The girls challenged it by taking it to experts in the Andrew Steel<br />
Division, who declared that the part (PMSL.01 S-Bracket) is only necessary if the Quik-tee Sector Frame is going to<br />
pivot or is mounted on a tapered tower. Since that was never specified in the beginning of the challenge, the girls won.<br />
Congratulations to everyone who participated and a special thanks to BeLinda Fadely for coordinating this fun event.<br />

ETMS-PTC / 220 MHz Antennas Now in Stock<br />
P<br />
rimus is now stocking the full compliment of locomotive and base station 220<br />
MHz antennas for proposed use in the deployment of ETMS systems by Class<br />
1 railroads. The SD212 series is a 2-bay exposed dipole antenna designed for applications<br />
where moderate gain is required. These premium-quality antennas are well<br />
suited to public safety/public security applications.<br />
The design of these antennas provides for coverage between 118 to 225 MHz in 3<br />
sub bands, 118-138 MHz for civil aviation applications, 138-174 MHz for private mobile<br />
networks, public safety and public security and 220-225 MHz for transportation<br />
networks.<br />
The standard connector offered is N male which is terminated on a 1 foot cable.<br />
Clamps are not included, but recommended is the set of #130 clamps.<br />
Contact <strong>Primus</strong> with your 220 MHz applications and let your Railroad Division<br />
Sales Manager, Gerry Fritzke, explain in detail all the solutions available. Call Gerry<br />

I just want to say that you<br />
folks, <strong>Primus</strong> <strong>Electronics</strong> and your supplier,<br />
Allcom, are two of the easiest places to<br />
do business with I have seen in my 25 years of procurement<br />
experience. Even though we inially ordered<br />
the wrong cables, we returned them and you fixed them<br />
and shipped them back in a few days. Paral shipments that<br />
went to five different locaons - no problems. My invoicing<br />
request will make it easy for us to pay these invoices even<br />
though we changed part numbers, quanes and from<br />
our part, accounng codes to accommodate our internal<br />
sales order challenges.<br />
NICE WORK !<br />
Thanks!<br />
