Military Communications Technologies--Spectrucell and PC4 now support 4G Wireless applications.Military Communications Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :MLTA MLTA Minnesota Land Title Association MLTA Maine Law and Technology Association MLTA Multiline Towed Array ), a provider of leading-edge wireless technologies for homeland defense, military, and commercial telecommunications applications, announced recently that its Australian-based affiliate, Military SDR See software defined radio. Technologies, has successfully implemented an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) A digital transmission technique that uses a large number of carriers spaced apart at slightly different frequencies. waveform on its SpectruCell and PC4 Software Defined Radio A wireless terminal (phone, PDA, etc.) that is reconfigurable via software. It enables wireless devices to be easily updated to new or later versions of the air interface and allows multiple interfaces to be supported. platforms. OFDM, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing See FDM. (communications) frequency division multiplexing - (FDM) The simultaneous transmission of multiple separate signals through a shared medium (such as a wire, optical fibre, or light beam) by modulating, at the transmitter, the separate signals into separable , is a telecommunications technology that is the foundation of most next-generation, or 4G wireless Internet services for high speed data transmissions at comparable rates to fixed DSL services. OFDM transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single wireless system. This successful implementation of the OFDM waveform is the first step in Military SDR Technologies plan to implement the complete IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.16 family of wireless data applications, also known as WiMax, a higher performing version of WiFi. Emerging as the predominate technology for providing cost-effective, high-speed wireless Internet solutions, WiMax capabilities compare to traditional land based DSL services in terms of speed and cost, with the added capability of wireless mobility. WiMax-based services will be capable of delivering high quality voice, video and multimedia content over an Internet-based connection. "The implementation of OFDM is an important milestone for our company," stated Mr. Roger May, Chairman of Military Communications Technologies. "Leading wireless service providers, particularly those based in Asia, are trending towards OFDM-based wireless technology, as it provides for a simpler and much more cost effective alternate to competing wireless technologies such as wideband CDMA ("3G"). Market studies indicate that the North American-based and global wireless carriers generally are also following this trend and we anticipate being the first to provide an OFDM SDR solution for simultaneous support of both 3G and 4G applications in both the commercial and defense sectors for wireless communications", concluded May. |
