Powerwave Technologies Company Description
Powerwave Technologies wants its signal to come through loud and clear. The company makes radio-frequency (RF) power amplifiers that are used in the base stations of cellular and PCS networks. The amplifiers give wireless transmissions an extra kick to reduce signal interference and call disconnections. The company's single- and multi-carrier amplifiers support a variety of transmission protocols, including PCS and analog cellular. Powerwave sells its products directly and through distributors to wireless equipment makers, as well as wireless service carriers; its top customers include Nokia Siemens (about 35% of sales) and Alcatel-Lucent (16%). Three-quarters of Powerwave's sales are outside of the Americas.
