AML Communications to Exhibit "Smart Amplifiers" At CTIA's Wireless 2000.Business Editors Wireless 2000 CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 28, 2000 AML AML - A Manufacturing Language Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq:AMLJ) announced today that it has developed a technology providing for self-testing and self-tuning RF power amplifiers An RF power amplifier is a type of electronic amplifier used to convert a low-power radio-frequency signal into a larger signal of significant power, typically for driving the antenna of a transmitter. . Working in conjunction with automated test equipment, the designs significantly reduce the need for skilled technicians on AML's assembly line. Moreover, because AML's assembly lines are of a self-balancing, one piece flow design, amplifiers can now be produced at dramatically improved rates. Based primarily upon state of the art, embedded microcontroller A single chip that contains the processor (the CPU), non-volatile memory for the program (ROM or flash), volatile memory for input and output (RAM), a clock and an I/O control unit. circuitry, the `smart amplifiers' also perform various compensations for the effects of wide ranging temperatures, varying voltages, and dynamic power operation. Several products have been designed and constructed with the new technology, including an 80 watt TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) A satellite and cellular phone technology that interleaves multiple digital signals onto a single high-speed channel. For cellular, TDMA triples the capacity of the original analog method (FDMA). module and a 60 watt TDMA cellular-to-PCS upconverter. Both amplifiers will be displayed at the CTIA's Wireless 2000 in New Orleans New Orleans (ôr`lēənz –lənz, ôrlēnz`), city (2006 pop. 187,525), coextensive with Orleans parish, SE La., between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain, 107 mi (172 km) by water from the river mouth; founded , Louisiana February 28, 2000 through March 1, 2000. Kirk Waldron, president and chief executive officer, said, "We believe this technology increases our capacity and improves our efficiencies. Traditionally, tasks performed by a production technician that would take several hours now take literally several minutes. This technology, together with our ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. 9001 certification and the reconfiguration of our production facility strengthens our position to pursue higher volume opportunities." AML Communications, Inc., an ISO 9001 quality certified company, is a designer, manufacturer and marketer of amplifiers and related products for the global wireless industry. The company currently focuses on the following sectors of the wireless market: cellular telephony, wireless local loop, personal communications services See PCS. , two way paging, low earth orbit (communications) low earth orbit - (LEO) The kind of orbit used by communications satellites that will offer high bandwidth for video on demand, television, and Internet communications. satellite networks, and custom wireless applications. The information contained in this press release may contain certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as the statements of the Company's plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those indicated by such statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to, the ability of the Company to maintain ISO 9001 certification; the inability of the Company to realize production efficiencies due to its reconfiguration of the production floor; the opportunity for future orders from domestic and international customers; economic conditions; reductions or cancellations in orders from new or existing customers; limited number of potential customers; variability in gross margins on new products; success in the design of new products or the redesign of existing products; and the ability to manufacture in quantity such new or redesigned products; failure to acquire new customers; continued or new deterioration of business and economic conditions in the Company's customers' marketplaces; intensely competitive industry conditions with increasing price competition; business conditions; and, growth in the wireless communications wireless communications System using radio-frequency, infrared, microwave, or other types of electromagnetic or acoustic waves in place of wires, cables, or fibre optics to transmit signals or data. market, as well as those factors discussed in the Company's Form 10-KSB and Form 10-QSB on file with the SEC. |
