Newlans is a fabless semiconductor company developing reconfigurable broadband analog signal processing solutions for RF systems. Led by CEO Dev Gupta, the company focuses on tunable RF components that expand the capabilities and applications of fixed-frequency RF systems. It received a strategic investment and entered a technology development agreement with In-Q-Tel; the amount was not disclosed. Newlans intends to use the funds to accelerate development of components of tunable RF solutions. The company is based in Acton, Massachusetts. In April 2014 Newlans closed a $20M Series B from Intel Capital, Verizon Ventures, Paladin Capital and other corporate partners; contemporaneous reports list a $15M Series B close and a subsequent $5M investment from Verizon Ventures. Newlans is a technology innovator in RF solutions that has developed a Programmable Duplexer targeting front-end radio frequency modules for 4G LTE mobile devices and small cells. The company says its duplexer will reduce cost and time to market while vastly expanding the number of bands supported by 4G LTE devices and supporting multi-band carrier aggregation. Newlans positions its technology as a change to the traditional front-end architecture between antenna and transceiver amid proliferating LTE bands. The firm plans to use the funding to accelerate product commercialization, build out its engineering and manufacturing teams, and engage early adoption partners and customers. The announcement emphasizes commercialization and scaling efforts alongside the completed Series B financing totaling $20 million.
