Financing to Accelerate Production of Nujira's HAT[TM] Modulators that Deliver Higher Efficiency Power Amplifiers

CAMBRIDGE, England -- Nujira, the company leading the development of advanced high efficiency power amplifier technology for the wireless industry, announced today that it has closed a $9.8 million Series B funding round. The round was co-led by current investors 3i and Amadeus Capital Partners. The round included further investment by Cambridge Gateway Fund, Cambridge Capital Group and the Cambridge Angels.

"The high power consumption of current 3G networks is a serious cause of concern for all operators," said Ian Lobley, senior partner at 3i. "We are now seeing operators setting themselves hard targets for reducing the power consumption, and hence environmental impact, of their networks. Power amplifier efficiencies of at least 50% are essential to achieving these targets, and Nujira has a clear lead over other vendors in providing commercially-available solutions to address this urgent need."

"Nujira's innovative HAT[TM] (High Accuracy Tracking) technology provides a dramatic improvement in the efficiency of RF power amplifiers enabling the design of smaller, cheaper and significantly more power-efficient 3G/WiMAX base stations and DVB systems," stated Mike McTighe, Nujira's non-executive chairman. "We have demonstrated our HAT technology to the infrastructure OEMs in all the major markets, and it is currently being evaluated by more than half of the leading infrastructure OEMs worldwide. The overwhelming interest from customers and industry partners and the continued support of our investors is a great testament to Nujira's technology and management team."

Andrea Traversone of Amadeus Capital Partners commented: "Nujira has made great progress in getting traction with the OEMs by demonstrating the significant advantage of their HAT technology over other technologies that have been proposed to address the serious issues with today's

low-efficiency power amplifiers. Nujira has set new standards for power efficiency that will make their technology a compelling proposition for the next generation of 3G and WiMAX base stations."

Tim Haynes, CEO of Nujira, added: "We have made significant progress in the past two years, both commercially and technically, and we are very pleased to have the continuing support of our investors. The new investment will allow us to ramp up the manufacture of our HAT[TM] modulators to meet customer demand and further commercialise the technology. The funding will also be used to broaden the product range to address a wider market, including higher RF powers and support for high voltage RF device technologies which when used in conjunction with Nujira's HAT[TM] technology can deliver even higher PA efficiencies. We see an enormous opportunity for Nujira to play a key role within the PA industry in the future."
