Airnet Files Comments to FCC On the Advantages of Software Defined Radios.Business Editors MELBOURNE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 20, 2000 Deployment of Software Defined Radio A wireless terminal (phone, PDA, etc.) that is reconfigurable via software. It enables wireless devices to be easily updated to new or later versions of the air interface and allows multiple interfaces to be supported. Would Promote Rapid Introduction of New Wireless Services and Capabilities AirNet(R) Communications Corporation (Nasdaq:ANCC ANCC American Nurses Credentialing Center ANCC Association Nationale des Cardiaques Congénitaux ANCC Army-Navy Country Club (Arlington, VA) ANCC Area Nine Cable Council (state mandated government body in UK) ), an industry leader in Software Defined Radio (SDR See software defined radio. ) technology, released last week the company's response to the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC (1) (Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC, www.fcc.gov) The U.S. government agency that regulates interstate and international communications including wire, cable, radio, TV and satellite. The FCC was created under the U.S. ) Notice of Inquiry into Software Defined Radios. SDR technology allows wireless equipment to be upgraded through software rather than hardware changes, allowing the evolution to new technologies, and enabling communication between users in different frequency bands. AirNet has developed and deployed the world's only commercial broadband, software-defined radio A software-defined radio (SDR) system is a radio communication system which can tune to any frequency band and receive any modulation across a large frequency spectrum by means of programmable hardware which is controlled by software. base stations, making the company's expertise vital to the FCC's inquiry into the new technology. AirNet customers have been deploying SDR-based infrastructure since 1997. The company's remarks were submitted in response to a general request for comments issued by the FCC March 21, 2000. AirNet's commercially available technology affirms the FCC's belief that SDRs can lower costs, can operate multiple wireless standards at the same time, and can vastly improve the efficiency of spectrum usage at a time when the demand for wireless services is rapidly increasing. "SDR is not a distant dream," said Lee Hamilton, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of AirNet. "AirNet is using this technology today in its base station products. The growing demand for our products demonstrates that SDR based products are the only cost-effective, future-proof solution in a world where standards are changing rapidly to provide new services such as the wireless Internet." AirNet Communications Corporation's award winning wireless base station products, based on over 60 patents either issued or filed, provide a cost effective, future proof solution for wireless operators as they deploy and expand their networks. AirNet's patented broadband, software-defined AdaptaCell(TM) base station provides a high capacity base station with a software upgrade path to the wireless Internet. The AdaptaCell's patented technology means no more time consuming and expensive hardware upgrades - the wireless Internet is only a software upgrade away. And, with software control, AirNet lets service providers support multiple protocols simultaneously avoiding costly overlays.
