Unity Wireless Corporation (OTCBB: UTYW), a developer of integrated wireless subsystems and power amplifiers, announced today that it has launched several new products designed to provide coverage enhancement solutions for CDMA450 and UMTS W-CDMA third generation, or 3G, wireless networks.
Ilan Kenig, President and CEO of Unity Wireless commented, "We are very pleased to offer our first coverage enhancement solution products to OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and operators of 3G networks. Having traditionally serviced the OEM market, introducing products that are also commonly acquired by network operators has the effect of opening a new and very large market for our products. We believe that our experience supporting OEM customers in competitive markets around the world has provided the strong foundation of products, reference designs and infrastructure required to begin expanding our market share into complementary customer groups and product opportunities."
Coverage enhancement solutions are mostly comprised of turn-key systems that are installed within the wireless network base transmitter station (BTS) infrastructure. These systems improve network performance by strengthening the signals that are sent and received by the BTS. These performance improvements translate into fewer dropped calls, better data throughput and often improve the battery performance of customer phones and data devices. These benefits contribute to improved network quality of service (QOS) and help operators economically optimize their investment in their core network.
"Unity Wireless will also introduce products for cellular and PCS networks in the coming months that will complete a portfolio of coverage enhancement products for the most widely used commercial wireless networks," commented Unity Wireless Chief Technology Officer, Raffi Antepyan. "The UMTS WCDMA solutions are used predominantly throughout Western Europe and Japan while CDMA450 solutions are being deployed in Eastern Europe and Asia. Of note, we believe we are among the first companies to offer coverage enhancement solutions for the rapidly expanding CDMA450 market."
Coverage enhancement solution products include Tower Mounted Amplifiers (TMA), Tower Mounted Boosters (TMB), Bi-Directional Amplifiers (BDA) and related accessories used in both indoor and outdoor applications.
