WiMAX |
| The WiMAX
Forum is a non-profit corporation formed to help promote and
certify the compatibility and interoperability of BWA (Broadband
Wireless Access) equipment. The single global interoperable
standard for broadband wireless access is based on Wi-LAN's
W-OFDM technology and the IEEE 802.16 / ETSI HiperMAN standards.
The Forum's efforts are intended to help accelerate the introduction
of standards-based broadband wireless equipment into the marketplace,
speeding up last-mile broadband deployment worldwide.
WiMAX Forum Certified
equipment is expected to provide up to 50-kilometers of range
and allow users to receive broadband connectivity without
requiring a direct line of sight with the base station. The
equipment is also expected to provide shared data rates up
to 70 Mbps, which is enough bandwidth to simultaneously support
more than 60 businesses with T1-type connectivity and hundreds
of homes with DSL-type connectivity with a single base station.

W-OFDM |
Wi-LAN’s
Wideband Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (W-OFDM)
is a transmission scheme that enables data to be encoded on
multiple high-speed radio frequencies concurrently. This allows
for greater security, increased amounts of data being sent,
and the industries most efficient use of bandwidth. W-OFDM
is the basis of the IEEE standard 802.11a, which is the foundation
of the proposed IEEE standard 802.16. It is a patented technology
in the United States under patent number 5,282,222 and in
Canada under patent number 2,064,975. W-OFDM technology is
currently used in Wi-LAN's broadband wireless access systems.

MC-DSSS |
Wi-LAN's
patented Multi-code Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum technology
(MC-DSSS) is the world's most spectrally efficient spread
spectrum radio technology, and is the technology that makes
it possible to multiply the carrying capacity of traditional
spread spectrum systems by as much as ten times. Wi-LAN believes
that MC-DSSS is the foundation for third generation (3G) mobile
radio networks, including cellular phones, and Wi-LAN has
recently filed an intellectual property statement with the
International Telecommunications Union offering to make MC-DSSS
available for licensing on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory
terms. more......

VINE |
Wi-LAN’s
patented wireless VINE technology is a new networking technology
that overcomes the non line-of-sight obstacles and minimizes
initial up-front costs of developing networks. VINE technology
focuses on overcoming the LOS issues imposed by challenging
terrain topography. more...... |
