APA Wireless Technologies Launches Production of YRO Next-Generation Radio Frequency Technology
URL(s): www.apawireless.com
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., April 11, 2001--APA Wireless Technologies, a Cenetec technology
accelerator company, today announced it has completed the research, development, and commercial production phases for its
next-generation YRO(TM) radio frequency (RF) technology. The company is now accepting firm purchase orders with delivery
dates for its new YRO-based "supermodules."
APA Wireless has filed a series of U.S. and foreign patents relating to the hardware, software and system aspects of the
proprietary technology. The new digital YRO technology dramatically improves the reliability, speed and economy of broadband
fixed wireless communications. It provides a lower-cost, easily mass-produced microwave frequency source that is an alternative
to current RF technologies.
Andy Goddard, APA president said, "This new generation of RF technology is designed for today's advanced communications
systems. It reflects the strong intellectual property that is key to the Company's long-term value and that will help APA Wireless
maintain its dominant position in this expanding market. "
APA Wireless moved the product to market while in the Cenetec technology accelerator program. Cenetec President Scott
Adams said, "APA Wireless' technology gives broadband fixed wireless providers a high performance, first to market digital
alternative for the crucial RF components that power LMDS and MMDS systems. We're pleased Cenetec could play a role in
speeding this technology to market."
The YRO, (YIG Replacement Oscillator), also has applications in advanced testing, radar and other commercial and military
uses. It overcomes many of the limitations of current generation RF components, which utilize the rare earth material yttrium iron
garnet (YIG) to mechanically synthesize and control radio waves.
APA Wireless' YRO technology is provided as a single module or in custom turnkey solutions utilizing the company's vertically
integrated capabilities, from engineering through automated production.
APA Wireless Technologies is a single-source developer and manufacturer of high performance components for the broadband
fixed wireless market, and a Cenetec technology accelerator company. Its family of vertically integrated companies began with
Marlo Electronics in 1966, and serves an impressive roster of Fortune 100 clients.
Industry leaders rely on the APA Wireless Technologies companies for mission-critical components in telecommunications,
avionics, medical technology and military applications. These range from communications systems and pagers to heart
pacemakers and F-18 fighter jets.
The company is headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and more information can be obtained by calling 954 565-4839 or
