TechnoConcepts demonstrated its True Software Radio(TM) (TSR) receiver that processes radio frequency (RF) signals in the licensed and unlicensed frequency ranges without any of the traditional front-end analog and RF circuitry to more than 40 representatives of 16 different 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. companies in Korea recently. Those who attended the demonstration included individuals from ETRI ETRI Electronics & Telecommunications Research Institute (Korea) ETRI Enhanced Threat Reduction Initiative ETRI Electronics Telecommunication Research Inc. (Electronic and Telecommunications Research Institute), SK Telecom, SK Telesys, LG Electronics, Inc., Samsung Venture Investment Corp., Axesstel R & D Center, Ltd., Bellwave Co., Ltd., C & S Co., Ltd., Cablerex, Inc., Hyunseo Data Communications, Ltd., Kisan Telecom Co., Ltd., Megacraft Company, Ltd., Mobianet Corporation, System Mecca Company, Ltd., as well as research and development engineers from the South Korean government. TechnoConcepts' TSR technology (based upon its patented RF/D(TM) direct conversion process) demonstrated interoperability between differing communications frequencies, an accomplishment that was impossible to achieve utilizing a single receiver until now. In the demonstration, a single TSR receiver chip using only software, with no other analog front-end filter or circuitry, was able to receive, translate and process different remote signals between 450 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. and 1.2 GHz, including a walkie talkie operating at 465 MHz. Techno's TSR receiver chip - a single wireless receiver - was shown to communicate directly with different devices on multiple different frequency bands, using only software to receive, translate and process the different wireless signals. With TSR, the flexibility to communicate with and among different frequencies (and devices) is virtually unlimited. Applications for the company's technology include: cellular base stations, consumer devices such as cellular phones, television, HDTV (High Definition TV) A set of digital television (DTV) standards that offer the highest resolution and sharpest picture. Although some HDTV sets are available in standard (rather square) screen sizes, the overwhelming majority of sets are wide screen, which eliminates , IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) Also called "TV over IP," IPTV delivers scheduled TV programs and video-on-demand (VOD) via the IP protocol and digital streaming techniques used to watch video on the Internet. Set-top Boxes as well as government uses such as public safety, emergency response and homeland security. About TechnoConcepts, Inc. TechnoConcepts, Inc. has developed a technology that enables competing wireless standards to understand each other by incorporating a transmitter/receiver (transceiver) based on a computer chip with TechnoConcepts' proprietary True Software Radio(TM) technology to process signals received from the antennae of wireless devices. TechnoConcepts believes that its TSR technology is the first to perform all signal processing via software rather than by hardware by converting the received signals immediately from an antenna directly into digital form. When fully commercialized, it is anticipated that this technology will enable cell phone users to enjoy seamless roaming anywhere in the world - police and fire departments will be able to talk to each other regardless of their radio systems - and military forces from various countries will be able to communicate with each other directly. By enabling direct device-to-device communication, the Company believes that its TSR technology provides a cost-effective solution that solves the problem of system incompatibility in a highly fragmented and cost-sensitive communications environment. The Company is presently establishing relationships with a number of major wireless communications companies for the use of its technology in military, consumer and industrial applications.
