APERTO NETWORKS LAUNCHES FIELD TRIALS OF ITS 5GHZ POINT-TO-MULTIPOINT FIXED WIRELESS Aperto Networks, a start-up developing a fixed broadband wireless access system for the unlicensed 5 GHz U-NII frequency spectrum, announced its first alpha trial in a northern California carrier network. Aperto's system uses adaptive Time Division Duplexing (TDD) and provides the flexibility to operate in a single 6 MHz channel anywhere in the spectrum with data rates up to 20 Mbps. Aperto leverages a dynamic TDMA protocol, with embedded QoS and prioritization provisions, that enables the upstream and downstream bandwidth allocation to be dynamically adjusted to accommodate changes in traffic patterns. The company said its current field testing involves real-world conditions such as variable equipment configurations, line-of-sight (LOS), obstructed line-of-sight (OLOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) locations, light-to-heavily loaded network traffic, symmetrical voice, data and video transmissions, and variable cell radii. Aperto is based in Milpitas, California. apertonetworks.com Aperto Networks, January 17, 2001 Aperto Networks is headed by Dr. Reza Ahy, who previously held executive and technical senior management positions with Harris Corporation, Varian Research Center and RadioLAN. The company's technical team is led by Dr. Subir Varma, who previously was Director of Systems Architecture at Hybrid Networks, where he was responsible for its MMDS system. In October, Aperto Networks secured $26 million in second round funding from Alliance Ventures, Tyco Ventures, Ridgewood Capital, Satwik Ventures, DMC Stratex Networks, Oki Electric Industry Company, Mitsubishi International Corporation and Redwood Ventures.
