Baicells Technologies, an emerging global provider of disruptive LTE solutions today announced a strategic partner agreement with KP Performance Antennas. KP Performance was recently acquired by Irvine, CA-based Infinite Electronics, which markets various wireless component and solutions across a broad range of verticals, such as government and aerospace. The agreement enables the partners to collaborate on integrated product development and to target major opportunities globally and across vertical markets.
Baicells manufacturers LTE hardware and software and today principally serves the fixed wireless markets, but has also been active developing unique products for the emerging small cell and Internet-of-Things (IoT) spaces. KP Performance specializes in antennas for fixed wireless, but its recent purchase by Infinite fosters rapid expansion in other verticals. Both companies intend to combine Baicells and KP Performance’s competencies to offer a variety of LTE solutions, including customer-specific customization.
“Both Baicells and KP Performance have quickly earned reputations as aggressive and disruptive players, and not just with technological innovation, but also in customer engagement,” explained Patrick Leary, president of Baicells Technologies North America, Inc. “By working together strategically we can integrate our collective strengths not just to make compelling LTE solutions, but to most effectively serve the entire lifecycle of our products in the customers’ environments.”
“In just a few short years KP Performance has become the default antenna choice for fixed wireless operators, and now with our new position in the Infinite Electronics family, KP has the potential to disrupt additional markets,” commented Ken Caird, Vice President and founder of KP Performance Antennas. “Also, LTE is on the cusp of major adoption, not unlike Wi-Fi, and Baicells’ LTE expertise makes sure KP antennas will be part of the LTE revolution.”
