Powerwave Continues to Drive Innovation with New Crossband/Diplexer Featuring DC Auto-Sense Capabilities

Powerwave’s Latest Addition to Its Product Portfolio Offers One of the Industry’s Lowest Guaranteed Insertion Loss and Highest Guaranteed RF Power Handling, Plus Leading Isolation and Intermodulation Distortion

SANTA ANA, CA - Nov. 23, 2009 - Powerwave Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:PWAV), a global leader in end-to-end wireless coverage and capacity solutions, today unveiled its new CM1007 Crossband Combiner/Diplexer solution, which provides OEMs and wireless network operators with the ability to support new 3G and 4G wireless protocols while leveraging existing wireless network infrastructure, delivering significant time-to-market and cost efficiencies.

The newest addition to Powerwave’s broad product portfolio of crossband combiners/diplexers is ultra efficient, offering one of the industry’s lowest guaranteed insertion loss and highest guaranteed RF power handling, along with leading isolation and intermodulation distortion for optimum signal quality.

This product is ideal for OEMs and network operators looking to combine LTE700/850 MHz systems with AWS/DCS/PCS/UMTS systems and (optional) AISG RET commands onto a common feed line. With a low channel pass band of 698-894 MHz and a high channel pass band of 1710-2170 MHz, the low channel product is designed to accommodate LTE700, European Digital Dividend and 850 MHz systems while the high channel offering accommodates AWS/DCS/PCS/UMTS systems.

DC Auto-Sense is offered as an option on the CM1007, which allows one product to be purchased for base installations regardless of DC/AISG feed options from different base transceiver stations deployed at different sites. Sniffer (coupler) port and layer 1 AISG parallel-to-serial internal modem are additional options which solidify Powerwave’s leadership in site solution products.

Combiners and filters are one of the most ubiquitous pieces of wireless infrastructure in existence today. Over the years, Powerwave has had a pioneering role in filter design, and is responsible for several key innovations. All told, the company has fielded millions of products to date, supporting all manner of air interfaces and technologies.

“The migration to 4G networks is driving a move toward reusing existing sites and feed lines to avoid the added cost for leases,” said Khurram P. Sheikh, Powerwave’s chief product and development officer. “Our newest combiner enables OEMs and operators to derive higher power output and improve range and capacity with improved efficiency and reduced power consumption, while leveraging existing infrastructure for reduced environmental and cost impact.”

Limited quantities of beta units are available now, with general availability slated for mid-January 2010.
