MENLO PARK, Calif. & BICESTER, England--(Business Wire)--
Quintel, a world leader in the design, development and delivery of
network-efficient antenna sharing solutions, announced today a
transformative wireless service architecture and new ISO
certifications. These announcements reflect Quintel's continuing
strong growth in multiple global markets, and emergence as a leader in
wireless technology.

   Quintel advanced antenna products maximize the value of wireless
service provider site and tower assets. Quintel's patented QTilt(TM)
technology extends these benefits by providing operators with the
freedom to simultaneously host multiple service standards - including
GSM, cmda, UMTS, HSPA, LTE and WIMAX - on a single, conventional
antenna. Importantly, QTilt preserves independent tilt per service -
design flexibility critical to achieving cost-effective spectrum
re-farming and service upgrades, as well as multi-operator site and
antenna sharing. Because of its radio frequency and digital
capability, QTilt solutions provide operators more optimization
freedoms than commercially available today, yield higher field
reliability and lower operational costs than mechanical and
electro-mechanical alternatives and simplify overall network design
while enhancing quality of service.

   Quintel also announces receiving two certifications from ISO, (the
International Organization of Standards). A network of the national
standards institutes of 157 countries, ISO is the world's largest
developer and publisher of International Standards.

   An internationally recognised standard, the Quality Assurance
Standard ISO 9001:2000 is a quality management system that supports
Quintel management in managing the business to a high internationally
recognized standard. This is increasingly important as the company
demonstrates strong international growth. Standards ensure desirable
characteristics of products and services such as quality,
environmental friendliness, safety, reliability, efficiency and
interchangeability at an economical cost. As a business improvement
tool the certification provides Quintel with appropriate processes and
procedures for ensuring 'right first time' delivery to effectively
manage growth. This certification underscores Quintel's commitment to
quality and customer service.

   The Environmental Assurance System ISO 14001:2004 reduces negative
impact on the environment both in the products Quintel makes and the
processes the company uses. Environmental impact is an increasingly
high focus global issue of importance to Quintel and its rapidly
growing customer base.

   Quintel addresses the global challenge of network consolidation,
scaling, capital intensity and operating efficiencies that wireless
operators face. While maintaining operator and service optimization
independence, Quintel's antenna sharing solutions allow multiple
wireless operators, or one operator to deploy multiple air interfaces,
on a standard antenna platform. This capability dramatically reduces
capital and operational requirements while enhancing network quality
or capacity.

   "The QTilt service architecture directly addresses feedback and
support from market leading service providers that are challenged and
limited by the state of wireless delivery products today," said Steve
Obsitnik, chairman of Quintel. "QTilt allows our customers to provide
highly flexible applications that address real business problems
impacting wireless network roll-out and consolidation. The ISO
certifications enable us to apply recognized international processes
and standards to our business ensuring quality as we address the needs
of our global customer base."
