Advanced Communications Technologies -- Development Partnership With Chameleon Systems
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 26, 2000--Advanced Communications Technologies (Australia) Pty Ltd Tuesday announced in Melbourne, Australia that it had entered into a strategic partnership with Chameleon Systems Inc., of San Jose, Calif., to develop a base band modem card using the Chameleon CS2212 reconfigurable communications processor.
The card will form an integral part of Advanced Communications Technologies' multiple protocol mobile wireless base-station technology, "SpectruCell". Advanced Communications (Australia) Pty Ltd is an affiliate and equity partner of Advanced Communications Technologies Inc (OTC BB "ADVC").
Commenting on the agreement, Roger May, chief executive officer of Advanced Communications Technologies Inc. said: "The strategic partnership with Chameleon Systems is an exciting new development that provides an opportunity for two leaders in the field of reconfigurable technology to combine resources to develop specific new technological applications beneficial to both companies. Chameleon's CS2212 processor gives us the extra processing power and flexibility to additionally leverage SpectruCell's ability to provide many new and innovative services, including support for multiple wireless communications protocols. The incorporation of the Chameleon Technology into the SpectruCell system is an important development that will further enhance the benefits of the technology by increasing the flexibility and capacity of the current design."
Both ACT (Australia) Pty Ltd and Chameleon Systems are excited about this development partnership. Representatives of ACT (Australia) Pty Ltd's engineering team completed initial training at Chameleon, in San Jose, last week.
May also said: "The strategic development partnership with Chameleon has the potential to be instrumental in enabling ACT (Australia) to complete the commercial model of the SpectruCell multiple protocol base station slightly ahead of schedule, in order to bring the product to market well ahead of any other competitive technology. We are very excited about the full scope of the opportunity this new relationship presents for both companies."
