Two Join Forces to Develop 3G Base Station Kit

Powerwave Technologies and Filtronic have formed an alliance to jointly develop and supply integrated radio frequency (RF) power amplifier and RF conditioning unit solutions for the 3G wireless infrastructure base station market. This agreement creates the opportunity to combine the resources of Powerwave, a supplier of RF power amplifiers, with Filtronic, a designer and manufacturer of RF conditioning products.

"In today's rapidly evolving wireless market, OEMs are challenged with finding ways to bring better and more cost effective products to market," said Professor JD Rhodes, Executive Chairman of Filtronic plc. "The combination of Filtronic's significant expertise in designing leading edge RF conditioning products with Powerwave's high performance RF power amplifier technology will result in integrated RF solutions that deliver better functionality, performance, interoperability and quality than competing products can achieve independently."'"
