The new funding will be used primarily to accelerate the commercialization of 
QuantalRF's patented RF front end technologies, expand the engineering team, 
and to rapidly scale the product development of 5G/UHB (Ultra High Band) and 
Wi-Fi 6/6e front-end IC components.

The funding round builds on an exceptional year for QuantalRF which saw the 
addition of a new CEO/CTO, a successful evaluation of its Quantal Amplifier 
Technology and received samples for their first Quantal RFIC.

"I am very excited about the direction of QuantalRF and how we are continuing 
to shape our Quantal Technology to address the challenges the RF front-end 
market is facing," said Dr. Ali Fard, QuantalRF CEO/CTO. "Throughout this year 
we have received valuable insights and positive feedback on our technology 
through extensive third-party evaluations provided by our partners and 
customers. The focus for our next development phase is to address the demand 
for integrated RF filters used in wireless standards that require wide 
bandwidth while maintaining good wideband performance and very sharp cut-off 
filtering." 

"Our investors not only see the enormous opportunity in the development of next 
generation RF front-end, more importantly, they see the advantage and unique 
position QuantalRF has to be a disruptive force in driving this market. The
