Norhtforce re: Kyocera high speed wireless I think it is probably this: arraycomm.com ArrayComm Launches Mobile Broadband Wireless System e-insite.net By Mark Long -- e-inSITE, 2/13/2002 ArrayComm is conducting the first public demonstration of a new mobile broadband wireless Internet access system at the DEMO 2002 conference this week. Designed to deliver data speeds of up to 1 Mbit/sec in a fully loaded network, the company's i-BURST technology reportedly combines the freedom of mobility with transmission speeds similar to what home DSL subscriber lines currently can deliver to consumers. ArrayCom has also announced a new licensing partnership with Kyocera of Japan, which plans to begin deploying the i-BURST system around the world in the near future. Initial target markets for the company's wireless broadband delivery system include Australia, South Korea and the United States, with China, Japan and Europe to follow. "Today, the Internet is stuck indoors," said chairman and CEO Martin Cooper in a prepared statement. "You should be able to bring the rich data experience that you have inside the walls of your office or home, and take it with you anywhere. You shouldn't have to worry about how it works or where it works, and Internet access should fit into your lifestyle and budget without compromises. That's what we're offering with the i-BURST system...." Hanaro Telecom of South Korea recently conducted a live demonstration of i-BURST in Seoul under an agreement with Kyocera to develop the broadband wireless market. Hanaro expects to conduct a full market trial of the technology in cooperation with Kyocera beginning this summer. A full market trial of the company's time division duplexing (TDD) technology is also scheduled to take place in San Jose, Calif. during the second half of this year. In addition, ArrayComm's wholly-owned Australian subsidiary CKW Wireless plans to deploy a nationwide i-BURST network beginning in 2003 using spectrum previously purchased from the Australian government. ArrayComm's i-BURST system is based on patented IntelliCell spatial processing "smart antenna" technology, which has been configured to enable high-bandwidth overage and capacity at a low cost, claims the company. Featuring a unique spatial signature for each device in a service area, the technology is able to generate a dedicated "personal cell" for each user. The end-to-end IP network has two primary components: the base stations that are deployed by a network operator and the wireless modems that the end-user employs to access the service in tandem with an Internet appliance such as a notebook computer. The company's i-BURST product roadmap also includes external modems, integrated cards and embedded designs for consumer devices. Last month, the FCC reallocated 27 MHz of frequency spectrum for the introduction of new wireless services in the 216-220 MHz, 1390-1395 MHz, 1427- 1429 MHz, 1429-1432 MHz, 1432-1435 MHz, 1670-1675 MHz, and 2385-2390 MHz bands. The Commission's intent was to reallocate a number of small spectrum blocks from Federal Government control to encourage the introduction of new and innovative wireless technologies. The Commission expects to issue a Notice of Proposed Rule Making in the near future that will outline the appropriate service rules for the reallocated frequency bands, some of which must be licensed by auction by September 2002. "The FCC's action, particularly its allocation of unpaired spectrum, is an important step toward bringing new wireless data services to America's consumers," said ArrayComm CEO Martin Cooper in response to the FCC's action. "There is an opportunity to deploy, in some of this spectrum, innovative and spectrally efficient wireless services such as ArrayComm's i-BURST technology. The next step now that the spectrum has been allocated, is for the FCC to expeditiously establish service rules and proceed to auction," added Cooper.
