Vanu Receives USDA Acceptance and provides Buy American certification for Anywave ProductApril 10, 2009 - Vanu, Inc. Cambridge, MA — April 2, 2009 — Vanu, Inc., a leading provider of infrastructure solutions for cellular operators, today announced the receipt of U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Utility Services (RUS) Telecommunication Program acceptance and Buy American status certification. This acceptance allows US-based network operators to take advantage of federal broadband funding programs when deploying Anywave products in support of rural wireless services. Vanu’s Anywave® 850 Mhz and 1900 Mhz base station products successfully passed the USDA’s review process and are now included on the USDA’s designated List of Materials Acceptable for Use in Telecommunications Systems that qualify for RUS funding programs. The RUS funding programs are designed to assist network operators to deploy broadband infrastructure services in rural communities. Taking advantage of Vanu Inc's industry first software RAN technology, the Anywave product portfolio allows for multi-standard base station functionality. Built using Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology, the base stations product family is capable of simultaneously running GSM and CDMA radio standards. “Vanu is pleased to receive USDA approval to enable US-based network operators to more easily fund the business model for deployment of wireless services within rural markets,” said Andy Beard, Chief Strategy Officer of Vanu, Inc. “These markets traditionally lag behind their neighbors in deployment of new technology because it is harder to recover their total investment with a smaller addressable market of potential customers.” About Vanu Vanu, Inc. is the developer of the Anywave Base Station, the first U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)-certified software radio for both CDMA and GSM standards. The company delivers Anywave radio access network solutions, licenses its software, and provides design consulting to service providers, system integrators, and wireless OEMs. Founded in 1998, Vanu is based in Cambridge, MA, with additional offices in India.
