The company reaches a significant level by sampling its programmable RF CMOS products to a top tier handset manufacturer.

WiSpry, a provider programmable radio frequency (RF) semiconductor products for the wireless industry, announced that it has successfully sampled its first custom product containing WiSpry's proprietary programmable RF technology to one of the largest cellular handset manufacturers in the world. This custom solution combines WiSpry's proprietary, RF-MEMS digital capacitor technology in an RF CMOS manufacturing process with advanced analogue and digital support circuitry in a true single chip implementation with no external components.

"We believe that WiSpry's programmable RF technology will be the key enabler for the wireless marketplace and offers the next generation of mobile devices increased power efficiency, much smaller form factor and superior RF performance by seamlessly supporting multiple mobile communication standards and worldwide frequency bands," said Russ Garcia, CEO of WiSpry. "A faster time to market is also a key differentiator as cellular phone front ends will no longer need to be discretely tuned."

WiSpry's unique approach also allows for a single platform front end device, which results in the need for fewer antennas and ubiquitous operation in every region in the globe. Handset manufacturers and carriers will also benefit from the increased performance through longer battery life, increased network capacity and fewer dropped calls. This design also allows for faster time to market because of the reduction in the design cycle and cross platform applications. Finally, cost savings by using a consolidated front end architecture, versus the current discrete approach, can also translate into lower handset prices or additional features being added. The consumer will ultimately benefit with a much better user experience with fewer dropped calls and longer times between charges.
