Ubidyne and Kathrein Team to Develop Revolutionary Integrated Base Station Antennas
ULM, GERMANY, OCTOBER 18, 2007 -- Ubidyne, the leader in digital radio technology for the wireless industry, announced today that the company has signed a joint development agreement with Kathrein-Werke KG, the world's largest manufacturer of mobile communications antennas, to jointly develop active antennas that incorporate Ubidyne’s digital, embedded micro-radios.
Ubidyne’s micro-radios offer the highest level of integration and radio performance by embedding directly into the housing of Kathrein’s antennas, eliminating the need for remote electrical tilt motors, large power amplifiers and bulky coaxial feeders. Ubidyne’s patent pending technology enables an all-digital distributed architecture comprised of unique algorithms and proprietary ASICs allowing for efficient, standards agnostic wideband transmission and reception. Ubidyne’s micro-radio is the world’s first pure digital radio system, enabling mobile infrastructure equipment vendors worldwide to significantly improve performance, flexibility and coverage.
“We are pleased to announce our joint development agreement with Kathrein,” commented Ken Hawk, CEO of Ubidyne. “Our combined solution with Kathrein will provide significant cost savings in network deployment, ease site acquisition problems and provide performance improvements enhancing coverage and capacity.”
The companies anticipate the commencement of field trials with several leading mobile operators and network infrastructure OEMs within the first half of 2008.
