FILTRONIC PLC:
SELECTION BY MAJOR OEM AS
NEW STRATEGIC SUPPLY PARTNER
FOR WCDMA POWER AMPLIFIERS
Filtronic plc ('Filtronic'), a leading global designer and manufacturer of
customised microwave electronic subsystems for the wireless telecommunications
and defence industries, announces that it has been selected by a new Original
Equipment Manufacturer ('OEM') customer, as a Strategic Supply Partner for
production quantities of the integrated radio frequency head units for use in 3G
wideband code division multiple access base stations. This follows the
announcement made on 22 September 2003 and the delivery by Filtronic of initial
quantities of the first of these two products to this OEM.
Two versions will be required, with production of the first version due to
commence in the second half of calendar year 2004. Before volume deliveries can
commence, Filtronic must finalise certain outstanding technical and commercial
matters. Actions to complete these items are ongoing.
The radio frequency head units to be supplied by Filtronic contain power
amplifiers, which incorporate the unique, high power, compound semiconductor
transistors manufactured in Filtronic's own fabrication facility at Newton
Aycliffe. The products also contain the up/down converters and the high-speed
digital CPRI baseband interface and processing capability.
