HYPRES
recognized for excellence in Aerospace and Defense Digital Communications from
Frost & Sullivan
ELMSFORD, NY,
July 25: HYPRES, Inc., a leading developer of Superconductor MicroElectronics (SME)
technology, received Frost & Sullivan's 2005 Excellence in Research of the Year
Award in the field of aerospace & defense digital communications. The award,
presented to HYPRES during Frost & Sullivan's annual Excellence in Emerging
Technologies awards ceremony in Boston this July, was in recognition of the
company's development of the industry's first all-digital receiver.
Award nominees were selected
by Frost & Sullivan's team of expert analysts, which track research and
innovation in key technology markets. The selection process included primary
participant interviews and extensive primary and secondary research. Of special
note, companies were not permitted to submit nomination forms for the awards --
all nominees were selected solely by Frost & Sullivan analysts after extensive
research in the specific award category.
"By bringing the power of
Digital-RF(TM) to the radio frequency arena, HYPRES technology is slated to
cause a shift in the basic paradigm of wireless communications," wrote analysts
Miriam Nagel and Girish Solanki in their final report on HYPRES. "The
all-digital receiver holds great promise for use in a variety of military
applications," they concluded.

"We're pleased that such a
well-respected organization as Frost & Sullivan recognized the high level of
innovation our technology represents and the major impact it will have to the
markets," said Dick Hitt, general manager of HYPRES. "Our ability to harness the
power of Superconducting MicroElectronics is reshaping the performance and
business models of wireless communications," he said.
Through a series of recent
contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense, HYPRES is developing versions of
the All Digital-RF(TM) Receiver for the Army and Air Force. The receiver
provides outstanding performance at a fraction of the cost of traditional
multi-channel receiver systems.
The All Digital-RF(TM)
Receiver, thanks to Superconductor MicroElectronics technology, performs direct
high speed digitization of incoming RF signals and subsequent unparalleled
ultra-high speed digital signal processing. The immediate benefits of the All
Digital-RF(TM) Receiver include the elimination of most analog reception
components, dramatically reducing cost and enhancing overall system performance.
Potential applications for the All Digital-RF(TM) Receiver include satellite
communications, signal intelligence, electronic warfare, and radar systems.
The All Digital-RF(TM)
Receiver is a key enabler to the development of HYPRES' All Digital-RF(TM)
Transceiver product line -- which will combine reception and transmission
functions in a single, compact, rugged system. The All Digital-RF(TM)
Transceiver is targeted for JTRS, SATCOM, Signals Intelligence, Electronic
Warfare, and commercial wireless communications applications. HYPRES is working
closely with the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Missile Defense Agency in this
effort.
