Enhancement Solution for 3G Wireless Operator Field Trial

British Columbia : Unity Wireless Corporation, a developer of integrated wireless subsystems, power amplifiers and coverage enhancement solutions, announced today that it shipped a comprehensive coverage enhancement solution to a Southeast Asian wireless 3G network operator for a live CDMA 450MHz TMA system field trial.

The coverage enhancement solution kit from Unity Wireless will help this 3G network operator to enhance the uplink performance of its base station infrastructure. The kit includes tower mounted amplifiers (TMAs) and related accessories that help amplify incoming signals from cell phones, data cards and other subscriber devices. This improvement can lead to quality of service benefits including reduced bit error rates and reduced dropped or uncompleted calls. The improvement can also increase the "talk time" of subscriber devices, since these devices often consume less power to transmit their signals to the base station as a result of extra amplification of the incoming signal at the cell site.

Ilan Kenig, President and CEO of Unity Wireless, stated, "We are pleased to report this field trial, which if successful could represent significant revenues for our coverage solutions group. CDMA 450 MHz networks were once viewed as a niche market, but are now an attractive opportunity because of the growing number of operators deploying these networks."
