Based on IBM's CelluPlan II, CDPD provides a packet overlay onto the AMPS network and moves data at 19. , CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band. , AMPS), high-speed internet See broadband. , GPS, RFID tag and other inventory and security management systems. Antennas America has been supplying its patented antennas to the MMDS (Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service or Microwave Multipoint Distribution Service) A digital wireless transmission system that works in the 2.2-2.4 GHz range. industry for several years, including repeater antennas and some with integrated downconverters, and now looks forward to integrating its flat panel antenna technology with TSI's two-way transceivers. This integrated single flat panel antenna design will help provide subscribers with two-way wireless broadband, all digital data, telephony and television programming services at speeds up to 1 Gbps (one billion bits per second). The two-way digital broadband wireless technologies, which include the MMDS licensed frequencies, offer significant cost and time saving advantages compared to the cabled, wired alternatives for "local-loop", "last mile" solutions to residential and business sites. This wireless last mile solution permits a relatively inexpensive yet rapid expansion throughout the market areas, offering high speed internet access and other services at competitive prices. There are an estimated 30 million American households that have line-of-sight access to this technology, which offers a significant marketing opportunity for both companies. "This agreement will help us to continue to take advantage of the rapidly growing wireless broadband high-speed internet access markets," said Randall P. Marx, Chief Executive Officer of Antennas America. "We are pleased to be associated with TSI-USA in this effort and anticipate the introduction of this integrated system later this year."
