Vanu's Software Radio Base Station Showcased at Mountain View Alliance Comms Ecosystem Conference 2007.

Vanu's solution enables carriers to simultaneously operate multiple standards on a single network.

SAN DIEGO & CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Vanu([R]), Inc. (www.vanu.com), at the forefront of software radio innovation will demonstrate simultaneous operation of GSM and CDMA in a single base station, single network configuration utilizing Intel([R]) technology. This will take place at the Diamond Premier Demo Showcase at the Mountain View Alliance Comms Ecosystem Conference (MVACEC) 2007 show, February 28 through March 1, Manchester Grand Hyatt, San Diego, California. Vanu was one of only four companies selected for this special distinction.

Commercially operated in North American cellular networks and in field trials overseas, the Vanu Anywave([R]) Base Station does what no other wireless infrastructure solution has been able to do - combine different wireless standards so that they operate simultaneously on a single network. Vanu has developed each wireless standard entirely in software instead of costly, proprietary hardware and ports it onto commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) servers. This enables wireless operators to add new standards or system capacity to each base station via remote software downloads from a central location.

"Vanu believes that software radio will accelerate opportunities for wireless carriers in the near future," said John Winn, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Vanu, Inc. "While the emergence of new wireless standards presents both challenges and opportunities, carriers are constantly faced with costly, time consuming, infrastructure deployments to support each new technology as it is introduced. A traditional infrastructure approach means carriers have to duplicate their investment with each new service they add."

As part of the MVACEC Diamond Premier presentation, Intel and Vanu will demonstrate the Vanu Anywave Radio Access Network (RAN) that includes the first software-defined base station to be certified by the FCC. The 1900MHZ multi-standard base station system includes an Intel ATCA chassis that houses the Anywave physical layer signal processing software running on standard Linux processors in an ATCA blade.
