Siemens integrates FLASH OFDM in its Portfolio for mobile broadband solutions
Siemens and Flarion cooperate with FLASH OFDM: Mobile broadband solutions for the 450MHz-Spektrum
Munich, 08.10.2004
Siemens Communications will take up the FLASH OFDM ® (Orthogonal frequency division Multiplexing) - technology to its Portfolio for mobile broadband solutions. In this context has Flarion, which signs architect of the FLASH OFDM Breitbandsystems, and Siemens a memorandum OF Understanding to co-operation with products for the 450MHz-Spektrum. Flarion will develop the fundamental equipment for the 450MHz-Band after Siemens defaults. Already in the second quarter Siemens will offer a END ton final solution for FLASH OFDM, including belonging to system integration services to 2005.
On the 450MHz-Spektrum the similar portable radio lay in many countries. After the introduction of the digital mobile Telefonie this frequency band became free. In accordance with Siemens analyses now above all operators in Eastern Europe, that possess still no UMTS license, look for a economical mobile broadband solution for the 450MHz-Spektrum. The solution covers this need of Flarion and Siemens. FLASH OFDM is a proprietäre zellulare broadband technology for data services, which were developed by Flarion. It makes possible to use applications wirelessly, also during itself the user with high speeds, for example in the course, moved. The IP (Internet minutes) - interfaces of FLASH OFDM make possible for operators to offer and smooth for final consumers the way in mobile Internet to their enterprise customers the entrance to LANs (local AREA network).
„Frequency spectra are one of the most valuable goods of the portable radio operators. The FLASH OFDM solution of Flarion and Siemens supports our customers to use free frequency bands very fast and economically “, said Christoph Caselitz, director/conductor of the line of business mobile network with Siemens Communications. „With WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave ACCESS) for nomadische wireless services and HSDPA (High speed Downlink pack ACCESS) for fastidious Premium users, FLASH OFDM supplements our Portfolio for mobile broadband services excellently. “
„The partnership of Siemens and Flarion brings a new dimension into mobile communication for operators, that want to go the way to all IP broadband services in the 450MHz-Band “, said to Ray Dolan, Chairman and CEO von Flarion Technologies. „Siemens has exactly the global operational readiness level and experience, in order to open new and many promising markets for the advantage the operator and their customers. “
FLASH OFDM systems make possible for users to move with up to 250 kilometers per hour while they use data services. By Downlink data can be loaded with on the average 1 or 1.5 megabit by second on the terminal, point rates can even 3.2 megabit by second reach. Uplinks exhibit usually 300 to 500 k-bit by second, up to 900 k-bit by second are possible in individual cases. With a latency of only 50 milliseconds the system is suitable very well for Enterprise and interactive applications. FLASH OFDM exhibits an excellent spectral efficiency as well as scaling barness and makes an air interface available for IP-based services in enterprises. The broadband technology is to be installed at little expenditure and offers therefore a favorable price performance ratio.
