The company with head office and R&D headquarters just outside Cambridge, UK, an EngineeringCentre in Bath, and sales locations in the U.S. and Europe will initially have a team of 20 engineers, but plans to triple the design centre headcount by the end of 2012, reports Electronics Weekly.



“Our plans for 3G and 4G devices means that we need to rapidly expand our IC design capabilities,” said Tim Haynes, CEO of Nujira whose High Accuracy Tracking (HAT) power modulators are for 3G, DVB, WiMax broadband, 4G.

Back in May Nujira, a lead developer to reduce power consumption in smartphone transmitters by 30-50%,  secured a further £10m of funding for its growth plans, led by a new investor, Climate Change Capital Private Equity (CPE) and supported by existing investors Amadeus, NES Partners, Environmental Technologies Fund (ETF) and angel investors, to reinforce
Nujira’s vision to install its Coolteq wideband Envelope Tracking technology into 800m energy efficient 3G and 4G devices by 2016.  

Haynes said then “The funding will allow the expansion of Nujira’s handset engineering team to supp

ort product development and engagements with leading vendors in the global handset market.” 

“Nujira has established itself as the market leader in Envelope Tracking and is shipping silicon. We have protected our IP position by building the world’s most extensive and complete portfolio of patents filed or granted covering Envelope Tracking and the implementation of efficient wideband Power Amplifier (PA) transmission systems.”

CPE, one of the largest investors in growth cleantech companies, is providing £6m of equity financing, and James Hook, director of CPE, has joined the Nujira board. 


Haynes added “The support of Scottish Development International made a big difference in encouraging us to open our IC design centre in Edinburgh.

"Scotland not only has a pool of analogue and digital IC design talent, but the Universities there also boast highly regarded Faculties of Electronic Engineering,” he said, adding We are looking forward to developing closer links with those universities and to building our team there.”
