Quellan Announces US$12 Million in Private Financing Round.SANTA CLARA CLARA Clairemont Amateur Radio Association , California, September 2 /PRNewswire/ --- Company to Expand Operations and Accelerate Analog IC Product Roadmap Quellan Incorporated, a leader in high performance signal integrity analog ICs, today announced the close of US$12M in private venture funding. This Series B financing round was led by Menlo Ventures of Menlo Park, California Menlo Park is a city in San Mateo County, California in the United States of America. It is located at latitude 37°29' North, longitude 122°9' East. Menlo Park had 30,785 inhabitants as of the 2000 U.S. Census. to provide Quellan with the necessary capital to expand its position in markets where both narrowband and wideband signal interference problems are severely impacting functionality and performance.

By using a proprietary analog signal processing Analog signal processing is any signal processing conducted on analog signals by analog means. "Analog" indicates something that is mathematically represented as a set of continuous values. This differs from "digital" which uses a series of discrete quantities to represent signal. technology that provides very low power and flexibility, Quellan products, when embedded in line cards, connectors, cabling, or hand held devices, seamlessly improve existing infrastructure speeds or platform density by up to 400% -- all without the need to redeploy a new architecture. "Quellan has assembled an impressive team and a unique approach to the difficult problem of assuring signal integrity across a wide variety of communications platforms," said Hal Calhoun, Managing Director at Menlo Ventures, who will take a seat on the Quellan board of directors. Quellan's technology serves the broadcast, storage, enterprise, computing, consumer and mobile handset markets. Quellan products equalize, compress and remove interference noise from vital communication channels in cabling, chassis, and radio subsystems. When packaged in an ultra-small footprint, low power CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. devices, these products dramatically improve channel performance. "The demand for improved signal integrity and noise cancellation is overwhelming based on our initial product deployment and has been found to be highly applicable in many other markets," said Tony Stelliga, Chairman and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. at Quellan, "These new funds enable us to quickly expand into these new found market opportunities." About Quellan Quellan designs and develops analog integrated circuits for communications equipment and consumer devices. Quellan's products improve signal integrity, functionality and speed by utilizing a combination of signal processing algorithms and radio frequency mixed signal design techniques.
