CellMax Technologies AB, the Stockholm based supplier of high gain antenna solutions for mobile networks, announced today that the company has received a significant order for ultra high gain antennas from a major mobile operator in India.

Says Jan Matti, CEO CellMax Technologies: “India is one of the most demanding and highly competitive markets in the world today. I am happy that a prominent operator in this market chooses to build its network using super efficient antennas from CellMax. Our antenna technology with its superior energy efficiency dramatically increases geographical coverage thereby reducing the pay-off time of the overall network investment significantly. The reasons are reduced CAPEX as well as a considerable increase in net traffic thanks to higher over all signal strength (EIRP) in the cell.”

Mr. Matti continues: “This further shows that the trend to use products with very high energy efficiency is picking up in a rapid pace. Our customers do not accept expensive energy losses of 35-40% inside the antennas when they can get away with less than 5% losses using antennas from CellMax. The whole idea of establishing a site in the first place is to radiate the energy - not to waste it. We have a very strong position to support this trend with our unique and superior high energy efficiency antenna technology.”

CellMax Technologies AB develops and markets ultra high efficiency base station antennas for mobile networks. Our technology allows mobile operators to reduce power consumption in their radio networks by up to 30%.  The unique patented antenna technology from CellMax is specially designed for the higher frequency bands such as GSM 1800/1900, UMTS, WiMax and LTE.

Thanks to the elimination of internal losses in the antenna via a revolutionary patented design, the technology provides 96% energy efficiency compared to standard antennas available that provides typically 60-65% energy efficiency. The superior efficiency of CellMax antennas doubles the radiated power (EIRP) and received signal to the base station, hence provides an increase of geographical coverage by up to 40% versus standard antennas available. Higher EIRP also provides an increase of the net traffic in the network.

In addition to international system vendors, CellMax customers include 2G and 3G mobile operators in for example  India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, Sweden, UK and USA.
