Las Cdma Claims Confirmed by China's Mii
(Full text of a statement. Contact details below.)
SAN JOSE, Oct. 23 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ -- LAS-CDMA -- a patented, leading-edge third generation (3G) wireless technology from LinkAir Communications-gained momentum this month with a key validation from China's Ministry of Information Industry (MII) and the successful completion of its first outdoor call.
LinkAir's claims that LAS-CDMA (Large Area Synchronized Code Division Multiple Access) has greater system efficiency than traditional wireless technologies were confirmed by the Research Institute of Telecommunications Technology of MII's Science and Technology Division. Spectral efficiency is critical to any wireless system and is an essential requirement for the next generation of wireless, as it enables carriers to deploy cost-effective, high capacity, high bandwidth networks that can support advanced voice and wireless Internet applications.
The Institute came to this conclusion after its most expert scientists, led by Zhiyuan Song, chairman of the Post and Telecommunications Technology Committee, completed rigorous, methodical testing of LAS-CDMA. Earlier this year, MII announced their general support of LAS-CDMA as a proposed standard for 3G wireless systems.
"Over the years, the biggest barrier to significantly increasing wireless capacity, quality and coverage has been interference," said Dr. William C.Y. Lee, chairman of LinkAir Communications. "As the MII report states, we were able to prove that LAS-CDMA, through its use of a revolutionary, brand-new coding technology and spreading spectrum technology, does establish interference-free windows and successfully counteracts multiple access interference (MAI), intersymbol interference (ISI) and adjacent cell interference (ACI) in a real environment. As a result, it is clear that LinkAir's LAS-CDMA technology offers carriers the opportunity to greatly enhance their 3G system capacity."
LAS-CDMA offers the opportunity for wireless network operators to significantly expand voice coverage over existing 2G networks, while increasing data speeds to above five (5) Mbps. This combination of speed and capacity will enable wireless network operators to address two of the most pressing wireless issues today-the ability to offer customers advanced wireless Internet services, while at the same time improving voice capacity.
"China's carriers have already deployed 2.5G solutions to offer enhanced wireless data services and are thinking very seriously about investment in third generation solutions," said Elizabeth Harr-Bricksin, vice president, director of international wireless at The Strategis Group. "Because China's wireless market embodies such a diverse set of demographics and economics, and therefore end-user needs, solutions such as LAS-CDMA that address capacity as well as data needs will be critical to the success of 3G in China."
LinkAir Completes Outdoor Voice Call Using LAS-CDMA
As part of the Institute's extensive testing, LinkAir successfully completed its first outdoor call with LAS-CDMA. This comes on the heels of LinkAir's completion of its first indoor call with LAS-CDMA earlier this summer. The outdoor field trial took place in Shijiazhuang, outside of Beijing.
"The combination of MII's verification and the completion of the first outdoor LAS-CDMA call marks a turning point for LinkAir Communications," said Ting Zheng, LinkAir's CEO. "With our technology proven, our efforts will be focused on commercializing LAS-CDMA technology to bring benefits to wireless carriers as soon as possible."
