Bandspeed Selects YEL Electronics Ltd. as Asia Pacific Distributor.AUSTIN, Texas -- Bandspeed, a leader in next-generation semiconductor solutions for wireless LAN A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area access points, today announced the company has signed an agreement with YEL YEL Yellow Alarm (Eastern Research) YEL Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada (Airport Code) YEL Yellowtail Flounder Electronics Ltd. (YEL) as its Asia Pacific distributor, covering Taiwan, China, Asia, India and Korea. The partnership with YEL gives Bandspeed access to tier one ODMs (original development/design manufacturers) in the Asia Pacific region - allowing Bandspeed to prepare for revenue generation and quickly gain market momentum. Bandspeed offers a comprehensive reference design platform that includes enhanced silicon and software based on DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive (digital signal processing See DSP. Digital Signal Processing - (DSP) Computer manipulation of analog signals (commonly sound or image) which have been converted to digital form (sampled). ) technology, with proprietary Listen and Learn(TM) software that enhances RF manageability. RF manageability includes interference mitigation, auto configuration, monitoring and overall improvements in efficiency-increasing capacity and deployment of multiple APs in an enterprise environment. In addition, Bandspeed's Listen and Learn software facilitates SDMA (Spatial Division Multiple Access) A satellite communications method that transmits within the same frequency to different receiving zones on earth. It takes advantage of the narrow beams that can be transmitted by the satellite to dish antennas and allows technology, as well as multi-channel omni and cognitive radio Cognitive radio is a paradigm for wireless communication in which either a network or a wireless node changes its transmission or reception parameters to communicate efficiently avoiding interference with licensed or unlicensed users. . Bandspeed is actively demonstrating its reference design platform to tier one ODMs in the Asia Pacific region. "Bandspeed has a very unique and extremely effective solution for 802.11 networks that will give top tier ODMs in the Asia Pacific region a competitive edge," said Alan Chui, president, YEL. "YEL chose to partner with Bandspeed because we saw tremendous growth opportunities within the carrier class enterprise as well as in new markets that will emerge within the wireless infrastructure." "YEL has an established track record of representing players who offer differentiation in key markets, such as the WLAN See wireless LAN. WLAN - wireless local area network AP enterprise market. They were a natural fit for Bandspeed because of their vast experience in the wireless markets and the depth of their team covering the Asia Pacific region," said Bill Eversole, 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. , Bandspeed. "Because Taiwan and China are crucial markets for development and manufacturing partners for AP solutions, it is very important to have a capable partner such as YEL to manage and support our continued growth."
