noj, re: Flarion, I received the following today in my converge.digest summaries. Is this what you're referring to? ------ FLARION ESTABLISHES FLASH OFDM ALLIANCE Flarion Technologies formed an alliance for the development and deployment of flash-OFDM technology for mobile IP-based services. Flarion's flash-OFDM mobile broadband system is a packet-switched radio access network with QoS capabilities that overlays onto a mobile operator's existing cell sites and spectrum. Flarion's platform would provide a seamless routing interface to the operator's existing IP network. Participants in the Flash OFDM alliance include Certicom, Cisco Systems, Compaq, Decibel Products (a division of Allen Telecom), Enfora, Flarion Technologies, Funk Software, GTRAN Wireless, Invertix, LCC International, PacketVideo, Pentair Electronic Packaging, Philips Semiconductors and Powerwave Technologies. flarion.com Flarion Technologies, January 15, 2002 Philips Semiconductors and Flarion Technologies, a start-up based in Bedminster, New Jersey, are collaborating on ASICs that enable flash-OFDM wireless connectivity at rates up to 3 Mbps. The ASICs, which handle transmit-signal and receive-signal processing, will be available in early 2002, with availability of flash-OFDM mobile PC cards in the fourth quarter of 2002. Flarion Technologies is headed by Ray Dolan, who previously was Chief Operating Officer for NextWave Telecom. Prior to NextWave, he was Executive Vice President of Marketing for Bell Atlantic NYNEX Mobile. The company was founded by Dr. Rajiv Laroia, formerly with Bell Laboratories. In October, Flarion Technologies secured $45 million for development of its air interface technology for IP-based mobile broadband networks. Investors include Cisco Systems, Nassau Capital, Pequot Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, Charles River Ventures, and Lucent Technologies' New Ventures Group.
