Founded in 2001, RadioFrame was based in Redmond, Washington, USA and intended to become an OEM vendor of femtocells and gateway product. Originally developed a WiFi hub in 2001, and then expanded to include iDEN (a mainly North American mobile system operated by NexTel and others). Whilst already offering 2G GSM and iDEN products using 3rd party hardware/chipsets, they withdrew from 3G femtocell development to focus on offering their own femtocell chipset capable of both 2G and 3G UMTS operation to other femtocell vendors.The business split up and sold to Motorola (iDEN assets) and Kineto Wireless (femtocell assets) in 2009, although rumours abound of other buyers.
