An undisclosed OEM company has reportedly signed a purchase agreement for its Coolteq™-l handset development platform, the first since the technology was announced at Mobile World Congress in February 2009.

Prior to purchasing the development platform, the OEM conducted an in-depth assessment of Nujira’s Coolteq technology; the results of this assessment matched Nujira’s own claims for the technology.

Commenting, Tim Haynes, Nujira CEO said, “This is the first time Coolteq-l has been independently assessed by a major handset OEM and we are delighted that our own measurements of the power consumption and bill of materials advantages have been confirmed by our customer. Since announcing our handset technology at MWC we have experienced enormous levels of interest from multiple areas of the handset supply chain including the OEMs themselves and expect other deals to soon follow.”

Nujira Coolteq-l enables the creation of an efficient wideband RF front end, covering three to five times the bandwidth of a standard design with up to double the efficiency. Only two PAs (power amplifiers) would be needed to design a front end covering all of the fourteen different frequency bands defined in the 3GPP for LTE and all of the operating modes (GSM, EDGE, WCDMA, HSUPA and LTE), compared with seven or more without Nujira’s solution thus achieving a significant reduction in the handset Bill of Materials.

As if the cellphone market wasn’t already crowded enough, UK-based company Nujira has announced that they have secured upwards of $18m worth of funding to enter the cellphone market.

However, the company will not be producing the handsets themselves, instead focusing more on the innards, more specficially, what powers the devices.

Whatever Nujira brings to the market, lets hope it’s good, and even moreso, running Android! Hey, we can dream can’t we?
