Nujira Enters Defence Communications Market
CAMBRIDGE, England-(Business Wire)-September 16, 2009 - Nujira today announced that it is engaging with two military customers, and is commencing development of Coolteq™ products for use in defence communications systems. The names of the customers were not disclosed.
In early evaluations with its customers, Nujira demonstrated a power saving of 30% for a Coolteq module using HAT™ High Accuracy Tracking working in a typical military communications system environment. The company is now developing a specific module for this application, based on the Coolteq-h module for cellular base stations. Potential applications for its Coolteq-l modulator for handsets and Coolteq-u modulator for broadcast transmitters are also being explored. The company expects to release a prototype in early 2010 with volume production later in the year.
Bob Dalgleish, Defence Business Sector Manager, Roke Manor Research said “New Handheld, Manpack and Small Form Factor (HMS) radios and other tactical transmission systems must offer reliable, good quality coverage over wide bandwidths, even in rugged and urban environments. However, the benefits of these new communications standards need to be realised while reducing the very significant size and weight of these systems and their power sources.” He continued “Disruptive technologies will be needed to achieve these goals for next-generation military communications systems. We see HAT as an enabling technology which can provide significant benefits in reduced cost, smaller size, lower power consumption and increased talktime.”
“Nujira Coolteq modulators can realise power savings of 30-50% for transmissions with a high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) and over a wide transmission bandwidth. New military radio systems such as the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) feature complex modulation schemes and operate over bandwidths from 2MHz to 2GHz and would therefore benefit significantly from our technology,” commented Tim Haynes, CEO of Nujira. “Nujira’s HAT™ technology is a proven solution and we are excited about the potential of our technology in this new market.”
About Nujira
Nujira’s mission is to dramatically improve the energy efficiency of cellular network base stations and digital broadcast transmitters by reducing the amount of waste energy dissipated as heat in the RF Power Amplifier circuit. Nujira High Accuracy Tracking (HAT™) Modulator technology dynamically controls the power supply to the circuit in line with the transmission performance required, enabling the creation of highly efficient RF Power Amplifiers for 3G and 4G cellular networks and DVB digital broadcast transmissions.
