MOSCOW and HOD HASHARON, Israel, May 14, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
InformInvestGroup (http://www.iigroup.ru), a Russian scientific and industrial
holding, and Altair Semiconductor (http://www.altair-semi.com), a world leading
developer of ultra-low power, small footprint and high performance LTE chipsets
[http://altair-semi.com/products/fourgee-31006200 ], announced today the availability of
user devices for the Russian market based on Altair's commercial FDD and TD-LTE chipset.
The companies had conducted extensive field trials with several carriers in Russia,
achieving full interoperability and demonstrating high performance and stability.
"The excellent trial results not only prove that Altair`s chipset is suitable and
ready for commercial deployment of FDD and TD-LTE systems in Russia, but also reassures
telecom operators that their large investment in the spectrum can be monetized
effectively," said Igor Marchenko, Vice President at InformInvestGroup.
"We look forward to working together with InformInvestGroup and with Russian Mobile
Network Operators towards rolling out the first commercial products later this year," said
Eran Eshed, Co-Founder and Vice President of Marketing at Altair Semiconductor. "We are
rapidly expanding the global footprint of our solution and believe that Russia will be a
significant market for Altair in the coming years."
Altair's FourGee(TM) LTE chipset is one of the few commercially sold solutions
supporting both FDD and TD-LTE. The chipset supports all 3GPP Release 9 bands, and is
deployed for commercial use and in trials around the world, including the US, Brazil,
Germany, Poland, China, India and Japan.
