2nd Feburary - RadioFrame Networks announced the introduction
of its first set of commercial femtocell products utilizing
the company's recently introduced OmniRadio(TM) Processor
Platform. RadioFrame's femtocell products are small, low cost
"access point" like base stations that will catalyze
the fixed mobile convergence market for homes, small and medium
enterprises needing licensed spectrum solutions.

The newly announced femtocell products augment RadioFrame
Network's existing GSM and UMTS picocell offerings.
The femtocell product portfolio will initially include
separate 2G and 3G base stations that will become available
in the third quarter of 2007. Additionally, a combined
2G/3G base station will be added in the fourth quarter
of 2007.
"Today's announcement of an exciting lineup of
femtocell products is the culmination of several years
of experience in understanding the needs and desires
of this marketplace," said RadioFrame Networks
President and CEO Jeff Brown.

"As we work with mobile operators we have repeatedly
heard that femtocells supporting both GSM and UMTS are becoming
increasingly important to them. RadioFrame's new products
will consist of low-cost hardware that is easy to implement;
these are two critical requirements that will enable broad
adoption by end users."
Earlier this week RadioFrame announced the introduction of
its OmniRadio(TM) Processor microchip. This processor forms
the core of the OmniRadio(TM) Platform used in RadioFrame's
femtocell products. In the future, the company intends to
produce versions of the femtocell series for other technologies
such as WIMAX and LTE.
"We believe that to best achieve market requirements
for low cost, technology agile products, it required direct
investment by RadioFrame in the entire product cycle beginning
with our own silicon," continued Brown. "We view
today's product announcements as evidence of the company's
ability to quickly deliver products that will be met with
enthusiasm in the markets we serve."
