Antenova Signs First Contract for Mobile Devices.

CAMBRIDGE, England -- Quadband Antenna Hits the Market in the Motorola A780

Innovative radio wave solutions provider Antenova today announced it has signed its first contract for mobile device antennas. Together with Galtronics, Antenova will supply the QUADNOVA(TM) antennae to Motorola, Inc. for use in the new Motorola A780 mobile device -- now available in the Asia market.

The QUADNOVA(TM) covers the AMPS 800, GSM 900, DCS 1800 and PCS 1900 bands. It has a volume of less than 3.5cc, and offers over 50% average terminal radiation efficiency over all four bands. It's a hybrid solution with a combination of ceramic and PIFA (Planar Inverted F Antenna) technology and has superb detuning characteristics thanks to the properties of Antenova's HDA(TM) (High Dielectric Antenna) technology.

"We are absolutely delighted that we have won this first major handset deal because of our unique platform design and antenna performance," said Greg McCray, CEO of Antenova. "We were selected over strong competition and this confirms Antenova's place as a significant player in the antenna world. The excellent manufacturing capabilities of Galtronics coupled with their relationship with Motorola was a major factor in our ability to demonstrate Antenova's HDA technology."
