-- Accelerating Deployment of the Next Generation of Wireless Networks

SiTune, an innovator of multiple generations of state-of-the-art RF and 
Mixed-signal System on a Chip, today announced two new products for 5G O-RAN 
infrastructure hardware solutions including Radio Units (RU) and Distributed 
Radio Units (dRU) for macro and micro deployments.

These cost-effective products, IceWings and SnowWings, are the world's first 
multi-standard ultra-wide-band RF transceiver solutions specifically designed 
to facilitate the virtualization of cellular ecosystem and disaggregation of 
hardware and software in 5G networks. IceWings and SnowWings quad-channel 
solutions are based on Analog RF and Digital RF technology, for a wide range of 
applications in public and private networks.

These products are derived from a unique, patented high speed and 
ultra-wide-band RF/Mixed mode technology used in multiple generations of 
SiTune's products currently in deployments. 

"Our close engagement with Tier-1 network equipment vendors and mobile 
operators will enable a solution optimized for hardware flexibility performance 
and cost," said Dr. Marzieh Veyseh, CTO of SiTune Corporation. "SiTune's 
technology and its market positioning provide a perfect opportunity for the 
company to shift the paradigm and enable true deployment of 5G infrastructure 
at scale through its rich family of transceiver solutions." "The 5G disruption 
will drive a tectonic shift to reconstitute the entire RAN ecosystem. The 
unique challenge is to address the tsunami of new end-clients that will require 
more spectral channels, more bandwidth processing, but at a much lower power 
profile. This provides enormous innovation opportunity in the field of Radio 
Frequency circuits," says Adil Kidwai, Vice President of Product Management at 
EdgeQ.  "As a recognized leader in the programmable 5G RAN space, EdgeQ 
welcomes innovative approaches that further drive profound disruptions in the 
5G infrastructure market.  SiTune's scalable RFIC solution is an example of the 
invention needed for the next generation of enterprise and telco base stations."

Here are the key highlights of SiTune's IceWings and SnowWings solutions:

    -- Lower power consumption: Through extensive innovation in architecture 
       design, sophisticated analog circuit design, high level of digital 
       integration, and novelty in backend signal processing and calibration, 
       these products not only consume less power standalone but also 
       accelerating the deployment of 5G by offering new technology perfect for 
       reducing overall power consumption of the Radio Unit (RU) or Distributed 
       Radio Unit (dRU) 
    -- Multi-standard interface: Support for a wide range of wireless standards 
       with a flexible scalable interface design. 
    -- High-performance solutions: Complying with 5G NR specifications and 
       offering superior performance when it comes to signal quality, noise, 
       linearity, and power consumption due to their inherently innovative 
       architecture. 
    -- Scalable support: a family of products that support various 5G 
       applications including Massive MIMO BTS, private networks, Enterprises, 
       IoT, and Small Cells. 
    -- Sub-6 and mmWave convergence: Ultimate hardware design flexibility and 
       novel architecture leading to a single pluggable chip converging sub-
       6GHz and 6GHz including CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) LTE band 
       with mmWave IF transceiver solution.

"Cellular base stations are undergoing a generational transformation for the 5G 
new radio spectrums, and the technology ecosystem is driving new demands such 
as programmability, open interface standards, and lower power consumption," 
said Ben Sheen, research director, networking and communications infrastructure 
enabling technologies group at IDC. "Dense deployment of mmWave in harmony with 
long-range sub-6 GHz base stations will complete the hardware prerequisites for 
the true 5G performance premises. Innovations in new transceiver solution for 
5G infrastructure radio unit can help address those markets and industry 
demands."

SiTune corporation is working with various industry-leading 5G solution 
providers to develop state-of-the-art products for this new sector.
