Sunair Electronics Moves Forward With 21ST Century Technology - Formalizes Agreement For Software Defined Radio Products
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
16 November, 2007
Sunair Electronics, LLC. is pleased to announce it has finalized an agreement with FlexRadio Systems of Austin, Texas to purchase certain customized state-of-the-art software defined high frequency radios and accessory items for sale to Sunair’s government and military customers globally.
“I am very pleased to announce the formalization of our relationship. Sunair and FlexRadio have been working on the relationship for quite sometime. Sunair has chosen a technology solution designed right here in USA, continuing with our “Made in the USA” philosophy. FlexRadio has been refining their design for more than 4 years. FlexRadio has combined extremely innovative software and graphical interfaces with RF hardware to produce a product which is truly state of the art when it comes to high frequency (HF) radio. This product will help our customers with their critical national security communications requirements. Sunair foresees this as the beginning of a multi-phased long-term relationship. We enjoy an excellent working relationship with FlexRadio,” commented Mark Allen, Sunair’s President.
Gerald Youngblood, President of FlexRadio reflected that, “Our strategic partnership with Sunair offers the opportunity to combine Sunair’s excellent worldwide marketing, sales, and support network for HF communications with FlexRadio Systems expertise in Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology. SDRs represent the most significant change in communications technology in well over half a century, allowing flexibility and performance not practical with traditional analog approaches. We look forward to a long and productive relationship with Sunair.”
A software defined radio (SDR) is a major departure from traditional designs where all radio frequency functions and processing are accomplished with hardware. In an SDR many of the processes are accomplished with high speed digital processors allowing for much simpler hardware designs and allowing for extreme flexibility with respect for filtering and user specified functionality. HF radios operate in the frequency range of 2 – 30 MHz and are designed for long range global communications circuits.
Sunair expects to begin accepting orders for the new products within 30 days and shipping within 90 days.
