ArrayComm Receives WCA ''Innovation Frontier'' Award; Wireless Communications Association Honors 2002 Deployment of the i-BURST Personal Broadband System.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 8, 2003 ArrayComm, Inc. today announced that it has received an Innovation Frontier award in the mobile category from the Wireless Communications wireless communications System using radio-frequency, infrared, microwave, or other types of electromagnetic or acoustic waves in place of wires, cables, or fibre optics to transmit signals or data. Association (WCA (Web Clipping Application) An application for a Palm PDA that accepts an abbreviated version of a Web page for efficient display on the PDA's limited screen size. ) for its pioneering development and deployment of the i-BURST Personal Broadband System. This "Wemmie" award will be presented at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, January 14, as part of the WCA's Ninth Annual Technical Symposium and Business Expo at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, Calif. "We are impressed with ArrayComm's technological and business achievements in mobile wireless broadband High-speed wireless transmission of data. What is "high" speed is always a changing number. Wireless systems are typically slower than land-based, wireline networks. In the past, wireless broadband started at 250 Kbps, whereas land-based broadband was generally considered to start at T1 ," said Andrew Kreig, president of WCA. "Innovative companies like ArrayComm show that the broadband wireless See wireless broadband. market is creating profitable solutions during this economic downturn and creating a new category for personal broadband applications, infrastructures and service businesses." "Our i-BURST Personal Broadband System expands the reach of high-speed data communications beyond the reach of home, office or 'hot spot' without sacrificing service or speed," said Nitin J. Shah, ArrayComm's chief strategy officer. "Now that deployment is underway in Australia, we are demonstrating the system's incredible range, speed and mobility in real-world conditions. We are honored that our technology and its market progress over the past year have been recognized by WCA, and we are looking forward to showing further innovation and results this year." In addition to accepting this award on behalf of ArrayComm, Shah will be presenting a session entitled "TDD (Time Division Duplexing) A transmission method that uses only one channel for transmitting and receiving, separating them by different time slots. No guard band is used. Contrast with FDD. See also TDD/TTY. TDD - Telecommunications Device for the Deaf Spectrum: Innovation in Spectrum, Systems and Services," during the WCA Symposium at 4:30 p.m. PST PST Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, see there on January 14. About the i-BURST Personal Broadband System The i-BURST Personal Broadband System is a carrier-grade wide area wireless data network designed for people to have high-speed Internet access wherever they are. Distinct and complementary to traditional 2G and emerging 3G systems as well as short-range 802.11 WLAN See wireless LAN. WLAN - wireless local area network (Wi-Fi) networks, Personal Broadband technology delivers a revolutionary Internet experience, combining the freedom of mobility, low cost infrastructure and transmission speeds similar to a typical home broadband 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 or cable line. The pure IP, end-to-end system is designed much like a cellular system, with base stations deployed throughout a coverage area and wireless modems or PC cards used by consumers to access the service. The system is architected to support the full range of IP applications in a mobile environment, including e-mail, virtual private networking, high speed Web access, streaming video, gaming and voice over IP (VoIP). ArrayComm's patented adaptive antenna technology is at the heart of the system, providing incredible gains in spectral efficiency and thereby dramatically lowering per-user service costs on a network. About the Wireless Communications Association WCA is the trade association of the wireless broadband industry. Its membership includes a wide variety of licensees, system operators, equipment manufacturers and consultants deploying wireless broadband service worldwide. Charting fixed, portable or mobile strategies for spectrum from below 2 GHz to beyond 100 GHz (including FSO (Free Space Optics) Transmitting optical signals through the air using infrared lasers. Also known as "wireless optics," FSO provides point-to-point and point-to-multipoint transmission at very high speeds without requiring a government license for use of the spectrum. ), WCA (www.wcai.com) and its License Exempt Alliance have been active in virtually every major 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. proceeding relating to wireless broadband spectrum, as well as many comparable proceedings elsewhere. WCA favors voluntary industry standards, but has not endorsed any specific one. WCA facilitates discussions between experts by hosting joint meetings and via other communications.
