-0- Company description: Stanford Telecom designs, manufactures and markets advanced digital communications products and systems to establish or enhance communications via satellites, terrestrial wireless and cable. The company technical strengths include: system design, communication waveforms, modulation and demodulation demodulation: see modulation. See demodulate. (communications) demodulation - To recover the signal from the carrier. For example, in a radio broadcast using amplitude modulation the audio signal is transmitted as the mean amplitude of a techniques, ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. design, radio frequency (RF) antennas and downconverters, software and firmware, asynchronous transfer mode See ATM. (communications) Asynchronous Transfer Mode - (ATM, or "fast packet") A method for the dynamic allocation of bandwidth using a fixed-size packet (called a cell). See also ATM Forum, Wideband ATM. ATM acronyms. Indiana acronyms. design and advanced manufacturing techniques and processes. As a result of the company's expertise and competency, it successfully forged a leadership role in satellite, terrestrial and military communications utilizing advancements in digital communication techniques. This leadership role has been supported and enhanced through the generation of more than $300 million in government sponsored and internally generated R&D over the past 10 years. Stanford Telecom has initiated strategic product developments which leverage over 25 years of leadership in digital telecommunications technologies to significantly participate in the rapidly expanding global telecommunications marketplace. The emergence of growing worldwide opportunities stem from a convergence of a number of factors including: worldwide telecommunication deregulation Deregulation The reduction or elimination of government power in a particular industry, usually enacted to create more competition within the industry. Notes: Traditional areas that have been deregulated are the telephone and airline industries. , demand for high speed, two-way data and telephony communications, expanding availability of spectrum, technological advancements in advanced semiconductors and signal processing algorithms and shrinking costs through economies of scale. In July 1998, the company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Stanford Wireless Broadband Inc., to further focus on this exciting market opportunity. Stanford Wireless Broadband is well positioned to address these growth opportunities through its family of residential and commercial gateways, head-end air interface units and air management and network management software tools.
