Aeroflex Wins Contribution to Safety Award at e-Legacy Awards 2007


Burnham, UK-November 28, 2007- Aeroflex today announced it has won the Contribution to Safety Award at the inaugural e-Legacy Awards, organized by the UK's Electronic Product Design magazine and held this month at the Tate Modern in London.

Aeroflex received this award for its A-GPS mobile handset test system based on its 6103 AIME and 6103 AIME/CT systems. A-GPS enhances the performance of GPS, making the exact position of a mobile phone available to all emergency services. The 6103 A-GPS mobile handset test system provides GSM/GPRS network emulation, software for development and conformance testing, as well as modeling of all associated GPS satellite and vehicle effects. Aeroflex won over strong competition from Ramtron for its FM25x FRAM memory used in smart airbags, Atmel for its EEPROM CryptoMemories used in smartcards to prevent counterfeiting, and Syfer for its SFDNC and SFEMC EMI filters.

"The e-Legacy awards demonstrate how electronics companies contribute to the well-being, security and development of individuals and communities alike," said Caroline Hayes, editor of Electronics Product Design. "The Contribution to Safety award category is one of the broadest, including everything from help for emergency services to protecting individuals in their cars and homes. In winning the award for its A-GPS mobile handset test system, Aeroflex demonstrated excellence in promoting a technology that we will probably all take for granted in the not-too-distant future."

"We appreciate the fact that the e-Legacy Awards were created to recognize the role electronics companies play in society today," said Phil Medd, product manager at Aeroflex Test Solutions, Wireless Division. "We are extremely honored to receive the Contribution to Safety Award, particularly because the winners were elected by the electronics community as a whole."
