Apr. 10, 2000 (Wireless Today, Vol. 04, No. 67 via COMTEX) -- High-data rate technology from Qualcomm [QCOM] could be wireless players' best bet for use in the 700 MHz spectrum formerly designated for UHF television service. Other technologies deployed in the spectrum will be affected by noise pollution from adjoining television channels, according to Campbell, Calif.- based "Andrew Seybold's Outlook." That interference would be noisy enough to ruin mobile telecom transmissions. The FCC Wireless Telecommunications Bureau will sell blocks of spectrum within the 700 MHz bandwidth at auctions in May and June. An auction is scheduled to begin on May 10 for 30 MHz across 12 licenses in the 747-762 MHz and the 777-792 MHz bands. One 20 MHz license formed by paired 10 MHz blocks and one 10 MHz license formed by paired 5 MHz blocks will be offered in each of six regions, to be known as the 700 MHz band economic area groupings. The remaining 6 MHz of available bandwidth will be sold in 104 guard-band manager licenses, to be auctioned off starting June 14. One 4 MHz license, formed by pairs of 2 MHz blocks, and one 2MHz license, formed by pairs of 1 MHz blocks, will be offered in each of 52 major economic areas. The spectrum became available in the commission's efforts to free up channels 60-69 for new users as part of the transition to digital television. Proceeds from the auction of the spectrum must be transferred to the federal treasury before October. Frequencies within the 700 MHz spectrum have good propagation characteristics and are valuable locations for point-to-multipoint high-speed data systems, according to Seybold. "On the other, it might be some of the worst if it turns out that there is substantial interference from TV stations located just below it," Seybold reported. "Those who have not done their homework and do not realize that there is a potential problem may find themselves in a real bind." San Diego-based Qualcomm last year began developing HDR products to bring the same efficiency and cost-effectiveness to wireless data that it did to wireless voice services with its CDMA technology. The company predicts its HDR chips and software will lead in providing spectrally efficient, Internet protocol-based data service. Qualcomm's HDR can be overlaid on most existing CDMA cell sites. It enables base stations to continually monitor the data reception capability of each device operating within range of the site. HDR separates voice spectrum from data spectrum to obtain higher capacities for each. -0- Copyright Phillips Publishing, Inc.

Sunday April 23, 10:58 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Intel Announces China Wireless Competence Center At Asia Pacific Intel Developer Forum Intel(R) Wireless Competence Center in Beijing Is Third Wireless Center Opened by Intel Worldwide BEIJING, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 24, 2000-- Intel Corporation today announced the formation of its third Intel© Wireless Competence Center, based in Beijing. The mission of the center, announced by Intel Vice President Ron Smith at the Asia Pacific Intel Developer Forum in China, is to promote development of wireless Internet technology through cooperation with leading companies in the Chinese cellular phone industry. With the new center in China and established sites in Japan and Europe, Intel will continue to help pioneer the development of technologies and solutions for next-generation cell phones. The center will also provide a venue for Chinese companies to develop technologies enabling new content and services for broadband Internet connection via cellular phones. ``Wireless access to the Internet will become a major trend throughout the world in the coming years,' said Smith, general manager of Intel's Wireless Communications and Computing Group. ``Intel has dedicated teams at its Wireless Competence Centers to help develop wireless solutions that work seamlessly with Internet client, server and network infrastructures.' ``China is an important market for wireless Internet products, and this center will play a key role in helping Intel develop products and technologies that meet the specific needs of the Chinese market,' said Wee Theng Tan, Intel China's chief operating officer. Intel established its first Wireless Competence Center in Stockholm, Sweden, in November 1999. Intel's second Wireless Competence Center was announced in February in Tsukuba, Japan. Intel announced its commitment to wireless communications with the formation of its Wireless Communications and Computing Group in December 1999. The group focuses on cellular and wireless communications, providing building blocks for computing and wireless communication devices and data applications in the growing cellular market. Intel's wireless direction includes building on core businesses, such as its industry-leading flash memory technology; cellular chipsets; high-performance, low-power processors; and digital signal processing activities. About IDF The Intel Developer Forum is Intel's premier technical forum comprising a multitude of sessions and hands-on labs and more than 100 demonstrations of cutting-edge products and technologies. Intel Developer Forums are held throughout the world in the United States, Asia, Japan and Europe and attract thousands of hardware and software developers, of whom nearly 30 percent are focused on software.
