ArrayComm CEO Martin Cooper Addresses Spectrum's Role In U.S. Adoption of Advanced Wireless Services.Business Editors/Hi-Tech Writers DOC/NTIA Spectrum Summit WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 4, 2002 Public Policy and Spectrally Efficient Technologies are Key to Market's Future, Says Cooper ArrayComm, Inc. Chairman 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. Martin Cooper Martin Cooper (born December 26, 1926 in Chicago) is considered the father of the cell phone (as distinct from the car phone). [1] Cooper is the CEO and founder of ArrayComm, a company that works on researching smart antenna technology and improving wireless networks, will speak at the Department of Commerce and National Telecommunications and Information Administration The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is an agency of the United States Department of Commerce that serves as the President's principal adviser on telecommunications policies pertaining to the United States' economic and technological (NTIA NTIA National Telecommunications & Information Administration NTIA National Telecommunications & Information Association NTIA National Telecommunications Interagency NTIA National Telecommunications and Information Administration ) Spectrum Summit today. Cooper plans to highlight the critical roles that both public policy and spectrally efficient wireless technologies play in broad consumer adoption of advanced wireless services Advanced Wireless Services, also known as AWS-1, is a wireless telecommunications technology, used for mobile data services, video, and messaging. AWS-1 is used in the United States and replaces the spectrum formerly allocated to Multipoint Multichannel Distribution Service, and products. Cooper, who drove the development and introduction of the world's first cellular phone, is speaking on the Technologists & Futurists panel of the NTIA Spectrum Summit being held in Washington, D.C. today and tomorrow. Speaking about the current wireless spectrum constraints in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. , Cooper recently said, "The telecommunications industry is on the brink of a revolution - we're starting to look at how technology can make people live better, safer, and healthier. The Internet has taught people that they can personalize their content; customized to their immediate needs whenever and wherever they are. But answering that demand with an affordable solution will require massive improvements in the efficiency with which these services are deployed. New spectrally efficient wireless technologies make compelling market pricing of these services possible for the first time, and open up enormous possibilities for solving many of the spectrum challenges we face in the United States today." Cooper stated that the lack of available spectrum in the United States, the cost of spectrum, and the limitations of incumbent technologies in the U.S. market will continue to hold back the deployment and consumer adoption of advanced services. The economics of high-speed data services will only make sense with more emphasis on spectrum management. That means focusing on deployment of new spectrally efficient wireless technologies that deliver more data using less spectrum, as well as identification of new spectrum, said Cooper. "The Spectrum Summit is just the latest indication that the Federal Communications Commission Federal Communications Commission (FCC), independent executive agency of the U.S. government established in 1934 to regulate interstate and foreign communications in the public interest. (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. ) and the NTIA, along with many members of Congress, are working to address the need for more spectrum and taking steps to identify and enable the deployment of new spectrally efficient technologies. Providing for unpaired spectrum bands and encouraging new technologies through expedited proceedings and reviews are among the concrete steps that the FCC and NTIA are taking on spectrum policy. Working together, the wireless industry and policymakers can find an answer to the current spectrum crunch," Cooper said. ArrayComm's IntelliCell(R) "smart antenna Smart antenna (also known as adaptive array antennas, multiple antennas and recently MIMO) refers to a system of antenna arrays with smart signal processing algorithms that are used to identify spatial signal signature such as the direction of arrival (DOA) of the signal, and use " technology is one technology that maximizes available spectrum, enabling network operators to handle many more customers and more robust wireless services on the network, thereby bringing down costs for each customer. IntelliCell is also the basis for the i-BURST(TM) system, ArrayComm's mobile broadband Description Mobile Broadband is a type of wireless internet access that differs from Wi-Fi. Mobile Broadband is the name used to describe the 3G services which are made possible by HSDPA and HSUPA, the latest technologies on the W-CDMA evolutionary path. wireless Internet access See how to access the Internet. system that delivers high-speed Internet access for about the cost of a home DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary wireline solution. These technologies are examples of what can be done to address some of the challenges of limited spectrum. About ArrayComm ArrayComm, Inc. is the world leader in smart antenna technology.
