e-tenna Corporation and Ashvattha Semiconductor, Inc. Form Alliance to Accelerate Realization of Software Defined Radios.Business Editors SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 2001 Collaborative effort combines e-tenna's RF2IF technology with Ashvattha's BiCMOS RF chips The Titan Corporation (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : TTN TTN Technology Transfer Network TTN Titin TTN Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn TTN Technology Transfer Node TTN Trenton, NJ, USA - Mercer County (Airport Code) TTN Total Traffic Network ) and its subsidiary, e-tenna Corporation, today announced a strategic alliance between e-tenna and Ashvattha Semiconductor in an effort to combine their industry-leading expertise in reconfigurable antenna technologies and BiCMOS RF chip technologies. By integrating the high performance and reconfigurable dynamics of e-tenna's RF2IF technologies with Ashvattha's family of RF chips, the companies intend to provide key technology and products for the wireless market and accelerate realization of Software Defined Radios A wireless terminal (phone, PDA, etc.) that is reconfigurable via software. It enables wireless devices to be easily updated to new or later versions of the air interface and allows multiple interfaces to be supported. (SDRs). "What e-tenna brings to the Ashvattha solution is the flexibility and power of a truly reconfigurable multi-band RF front-end with the high efficiency and small size to meet the stringent demands of tomorrow's 2.5G and 3G handsets," says David McCartney, president of e-tenna Corporation. "Ashvattha provides expertise in bringing highly integrated single-chip, multi-band multi-mode radio solutions to the market. By partnering with e-tenna we intend to advance the wireless market by enabling new opportunities for mobile communications and data exchange," says Guruswami Sridharan, chairman and president of Ashvattha. Ashvattha and e-tenna plan to widen their alliance to bring together the value chain of participants in the multi-mode markets, combining forces with OEMs in such areas as handsets, PDAs and wireless notebooks and laptop computers. This non-exclusive collaborative effort will produce a jointly developed multi-layer evaluation board, populated pop·u·late tr.v. pop·u·lat·ed, pop·u·lat·ing, pop·u·lates 1. To supply with inhabitants, as by colonization; people. 2. with e-tenna's RF2IF module and Ashvattha's RF chip and peripheral components. About Ashvattha Seminconductor, Inc. Ashvattha Semiconductor is "The Wireless Convergence Company"(TM). Ashvattha's Technology includes RF chip designs for cellular systems that support simultaneous use of a wireless standard, a location standard Global Position System (GPS), and a personal area network (PAN) standard. Its technology is comprehensively designed to enable the integration of multiple disparate RF front ends on a single chip, with no compromise in the performance of the individual systems implemented. Ashvattha is currently applying its innovative circuit and system technology to both the 2.5 and 3.0 generations of cellular standards, creating the lowest power, highest performance and most functional RF front-ends in the wireless industry.
