SAN JOSE, Calif.&ndash (BUSINESS WIRE)&ndash Presto Engineering, Inc., a world leader in semiconductor back-end
turnkey production services, announced today that it will provide
turnkey deployment &mdash testing, qualification and back-end production &mdash
for Global Invacom Group Limited (&ldquo Global Invacom&rdquo ) advanced Romeo &
Juliet RF chipset.

Global Invacom&rsquo s Romeo & Juliet RF chip-set destacks satellite TV
signals distributed over the Global Invacom FibreIRS infrastructure, as
used in MDUs, hotels and residences where bulky and expensive coax
cabling is not desirable or cannot be used. The stacked satellite TV
signals are sent over fiber and terminated by the Romeo chip, a
differential output low-noise amplifier (LNA) that feeds one or more
programmable Juliet dual-channel destacker chips that are software
configurable to meet any of the world&rsquo s satellite TV frequency plans.

According to Michel Villemain, CEO, Presto Engineering, &ldquo Global Invacom,
one of the world&rsquo s largest manufacturers and suppliers of satellite and
TV peripheral equipment, selected Presto Engineering because of our
extensive RF expertise in engineering and industrialization and back-end
capabilities. They also saw value in our local presence, with our test
production facilities in Europe.&rdquo He adds, &ldquo We have shipped the first
set of ICs to Global Invacom this month, and recently signed a contract
for production into 2015.&rdquo

The R& J chipset &ndash an advanced broadband receiver &ndash can be set in a wide
variety of applications and configurations which requires the
architecture of a program to be highly flexible. Presto, leveraging on
its expertise in this domain, has achieved both flexibility with no
compromise against test time. Presto has also used a proprietary
algorithm for fast and accurate differential measurement to achieve 1º
accuracy and stability of three times the throughout previously obtained.

Malcolm Burrell, Director Advanced R& D, Global Invacom said, &ldquo We design
many of the world&rsquo s most complex and demanding satellite communication
products for major broadcast companies worldwide and needed a reliable
source for the industrialization and production of our Romeo & Juliet RF
chipset. Our partnership with Presto Engineering, with its quick turn
around with uncompromised quality, has managed to reduce our lead-time
and also meet our customer demands. We had an excellent experience
working with them and we look forward to this continuing partnership
throughout 2015 and beyond.&rdquo
