CWAV Receives EE Times' ACE Award for USBee AX Test Pod.

TEMECULA, Calif. -- CWAV, a Southern California-based electronics company, received top honors on April 4th at CMP Media's EE Times Annual Creativity in Electronics (ACE) Award ceremony (www.eet.com). CWAV's USBee AX suite of programmable mixed-signal oscilloscope test pods (AX-Standard, AX-Plus and AX-Pro) won the ACE Ultimate Product of the Year in the Test and Measurement category. The 2006 ACE Awards marks the most innovative companies, products, individuals and technologies of 2005 as determined by a panel of experts in the electronics field. Contenders in this category included products from the industry's largest companies, including a 100 MHz oscilloscope, a Portable Oscilloscope, a Real-Time Oscilloscope with Z-Active Probe and a 100 GHz Bandwidth Scope.

"We were happy just being a finalist, but winning against products from industry leaders for testing equipment really validates our products, our insight into what engineers really need and our business direction," stated Tim Harvey, Principal of CWAV.

The AX is an affordable PC-based pod that functions as a programmable oscilloscope, logic analyzer and digital signal generator all in one compact and easy to use unit. "With the creation of the USBee AX, embedded engineers no longer need to have a $10,000 piece of equipment to do most daily tasks," comments Harvey. Used for testing and controlling electronic circuit designs, it verifies analog voltage levels and digital logic used in design, generating easy to read displays. For elaborate testing, the AX's buffer capacity is able to hold substantial information.

CWAV is committed to becoming a leader in compact and affordable test tools, and will be showcasing its new products in the test equipment arena spring 2006. "This ACE Award confirms the direction we are headed," adds Harvey. "Our upcoming products will continue to address the needs of frontline engineers and carry on the award-winning combination of features, compactness and affordability as provided in the USBee AX."
