To meet the growing demands for bandwidth and network capacity for businesses, DMC is shipping its broadband fixed wireless access products to providers, such as CLECs, in record amounts for the company. The company's newest solution, the Altium(TM), is a product family designed to meet the demanding requirements of ultra-high-speed wireless access networks. Altium combines the industry's highest broadband wireless access capacity with the most spectrally efficient radio frequency modulation available today. It uses high density coding (128 QAM) to deliver 155-Mbps wireless fiber-like capacity in only 28 MHz of spectrum bandwidth, half that of other available wireless products. This efficiency allows wireless-based service providers to dedicate less of their licensed spectrum for installed systems, providing for the best dollars-per-Mbps-per-MHz metric available today.
