Amadeus and 3i Back Cool Wireless PowerAmp Startup Nujira
UK-based Nujira, a maker of Wimax and 3G power amplifiers targeting original equipment manufacturers, has raised a $9.8M Series B funding round. The round was co-led by current investors 3i and Amadeus Capital Partners, and included further investment by Cambridge Gateway Fund, Cambridge Capital Group and the Cambridge Angels.
The startup currently has product with OEMs who are evaluating the tech before making the decision to design it in.
We recently interviewed 3i's Ian Lobley who had this to say about Nujira:
It’s founders are ex-Symbionics, which was acquired Cadence back in 1998. Nujira is delivering something that network equipment makers’ customers want : a cellular basestation that consumes less power and gives off less heat so meeting one of the operators’ environmental targets. You don’t need air conditioning in the basestation cabinet for one thing and the total cost of ownership is slashed. But it also enables a much smaller basestation, small enough to mount on a pole – so called remote radio heads.
