STI provides a full range of cost-effective, high performance solutions that improve the quality of wireless networks while reducing capital and operating costs. STI’s field-proven and highly reliable products operate in over 10,000 wireless carrier base stations. STI’s flagship product, SuperLink®, combines a specialized filter using patented high-temperature superconductor (HTS) technology with a proprietary cryogenic cooler and a low-noise amplifier. The result is the ultimate uplink: a highly compact and reliable cryogenic receiver front-end (CRFE) that simultaneously delivers both high selectivity and high sensitivity. With STI’s SuperLink®, AmpLink™ and SuperPlex® product lines, wireless operators can maximize capacity utilization and coverage, and also provide high performance antenna sharing solutions. Overall, STI’s commercial wireless solutions give wireless end-users the quality of service they demand, and gives operators the ability to optimize their capex investments. |
