The customer will use these amplifier systems in a system field trial of its base stations.
Rick Byrd, a Director of Sales at Unity Wireless, commented, "We announced in July 2004 that we had qualified our product for this customer's base stations, and we are pleased that the customer is now beginning to win field trials of these base stations with end-users. We anticipate that if the field trials are successful, we will receive production orders for this product beginning later this year.
"Our experience with this customer is representative of three typical stages in our product development for OEM customers. We begin with Product Qualification, the process of product development to the customer's specification and their approval of the finished design. The Field Trial stage begins when the customer receives an order from an end-user, typically a wireless network operator, for a small number of base stations to evaluate the customer's complete system. In the final Production phase, both Unity Wireless and its customer tool-up for volume manufacturing and full system deployment."
