By seeking a path of least interference, Powerwave hooks up with the wireless communications market. Its radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers boost signal strength from base station to cell or handset device while reducing interference. Products enable cellular, PCS, and 3G networks to deliver clearer voice and speedier data connections. Powerwave sells largely to OEMs, who incorporate the tools into base stations (which then sell them to network operators), and to wireless operators such as AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon Wireless. Antenna systems and base station equipment pull in over 20% and 60% of sales, respectively; coverage systems account for 10%.
