AZIMUTH SYSTEMS ACE™ 400WB MIMO CHANNEL EMULATOR NAMED
AS FINALIST
IN 2008 MITX TECHNOLOGY AWARDS
Fifth Annual MITX What’s Next Forum & Technology Awards Recognize
Outstanding Technology Advancements in New England Region
ACTON, MA – May 20, 2008 – Azimuth Systems, a leading
provider of wireless broadband test equipment and channel emulators
for WiMAX, 4G and Wi-Fi, today announced that its ACE™ 400WB MIMO Channel
Emulator has been named as a finalist in the Mobile category of the
5th Annual Massachusetts Innovation & Technology Exchange (MITX)
Technology Awards. The MITX What’s Next Forum & Technology Awards
recognize innovative technologies developed in the New England area.
The ACE 400WB has experienced significant success in the WiMAX and
Wi-Fi arenas, and is the foundation of Azimuth’s continued growth as
the company expands into the emerging 4G and LTE markets. As the industry’s
only MIMO-optimized channel emulator, the ACE 400WB is used by leading
silicon providers, equipment vendors and service providers throughout
the wireless equipment supply chain. The ACE 400WB’s advanced signal
processing technology performs real-time emulation of over-the-air conditions
that introduce channel fading as close to the real world as possible,
and features the industry’s highest RF fidelity for error-free testing.
By enabling MIMO performance testing in a lab, the ACE 400WB replaces
time-consuming over-the-air drive testing that lacks repeatability,
saving hundreds of hours of costly and unrepeatable field experimentation.
“We are proud to be selected as a finalist for this year’s MITX
Technology Award,” said Graham Celine, senior director of marketing
at Azimuth Systems. “This honor further validates our position as the
leading provider of channel emulators to the broadband wireless industry
and demonstrates the success we have achieved by delivering innovative
and high quality products.”
“In its fifth year, the MITX Technology
Awards have attracted some of the most distinguished technological innovations
that the New England region has to offer,” said Kiki Mills, executive
director of MITX. “It is this tremendous interest that enables our organization
to accomplish its mission of uniting the brightest minds in the digital
marketing, media and technology community and honoring their outstanding
achievement.”
Azimuth Systems will be recognized along with the
other finalists at an awards ceremony taking place at the Royal Sonesta
Hotel on Tuesday, June 3, 2008. This year’s keynote speaker and special
honoree is Dr. Amar Bose, Chairman & Founder of Bose Corporation.
The MITX What’s Next Forum & Technology Awards are sponsored by
Backbone Media, DLA Piper, Invest Northern Ireland, LEWIS PR, Oracle
and Technology Review.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
