Following up on multi-modulation as the next step beyond 2nd generation FBWA, I find new companies that offer adaptive antenna arrays and software that can be used in conjunction with exciting PCS and FWB systems to enhance bandwidth and QOS. Arraycomm is one company of interest: arraycomm.com Three major areas for FBWA development over the next several years will be: 1] basic modulation schemes and standards - primarily centered around OFDMA developments. 2] Wireless IP protocols and software management systems. This must be designed toward seamlessly fitting with Internet infrastructure and provide such features as VOIP, network management, provision and QOS management. 3] Making use of adaptive array antenna technology to extend bandwidth and improve QOS and provisioning capability. Beamreach, IoSpan, Malibu Networks, AT&T and others plan to introduce what might generally be called multi-modulation systems that have a primary benefit of targeted adaptive array antenna technology. Increased emphasis is also being placed on the network management aspect in order to accommodate VOIP and QOS provisioning. A reason I am interested in MM and adaptive array is because I want to understand what effect the entry of the new OFDM MM companies will have on Breezecom, Wi-Lan, NextNet, etc. and how readily these companies may find it to take advantage of MM/adaptive array capabilities in the future. It appears to me that these companies can make use of targeted adaptive array antenna and MM by incorporating Arraycom systems into theirs. Of course, Wi-Lan, BRZE and Wi-Lan have already incorporated some aspects of MM already but how much of a commercial advantage the new entrants will have remains to be seen. It seems to me that Wi-Lan and others must be able to show a migration path from currently viable systems to the enhanced systems in order to win over arguments of these new entrants.
