Solutions in spite of Multi-Standard Reality
Systemonic's Technology Enables Multi-Protocol
and Multi-Band Wireless Communication - Interface to Legacy Systems
Supported
Hanover / Dresden, San Jose (California) (March 13,
2002) - State-of-the-Art Communication Technology breaks the barriers
of the multi-standard reality in the wireless communication market.
The question is no longer which standard will become dominant. It
is painfully obvious that the world of wireless communications will
be one of multiple standards and protocols for many years to come.
Now a technology that transparently supports multiple standards
in multiple bands for wireless communication is ready for production.
This will allow global OEMs to quickly develop flexible wireless
communications products for all regions.
At CeBIT 2002 Systemonic, a leading provider of complete
silicon systems solutions for W-LAN, is presenting its technology,
the first to transparently support multiple standards in multiple
bands for wireless communication. Whether it is for the IEEE 802.11b
standard at 2.4 GHz, or the ca 5 times faster IEEE 802.11a standard
operating in the new 5 GHz band, for Systemonic the adaptation of
W-LAN solutions to existing, evolving and future standards, is in
almost all cases a question of software.
Ruediger Stroh, President and CEO of Systemonic is
convinced that nobody has to wait for the regulatory authorities.
"This is a multi-standard world and the question of which standard
will become dominant is still open. Therefore we are focused on
providing flexible solutions that transparently support multiple
existing, evolving and emerging standards across multiple bands,"
comments Mr. Stroh. Systemonic Technology is based on OnDSP, a
platform for the rapid generation of highly optimized and flexible,
DSP-based solutions, and Systemonic RFlex, an RF technology providing
superior receiver sensitivity and frequency selectivity over a broad
range of operating frequencies
(800 MHz - 6 GHz). This technology will allow Systemonic to produce
a series of multi-protocol, multi-band data communications solutions
for high-growth markets.
"Wireless LANs now offer performance and capacity
that complement their wired counterparts," says Mr. Stroh.
"The market for W-LAN and W-WAN solutions is characterized
and also retarded by the multi-standard reality. Therefore we have
focused on flexible solutions. This flexibility is realized through
the optimum combination hardware and software. Our technology provides
improved performance and support for new standards via software
downloads. More precisely, the standards needed for particular applications
will be supported by matching software that can be installed and
updated if it is required," explained Mr. Stroh. This will
ensure that the system works in the most current mode and that existing
investments will be secured. Interfaces to the wired world will
also be provided.
Soon, incrementally faster networks, many at 5 GHz,
offering 54 Mbps will be installed, and many will be overlaid on
existing 2.4 GHz networks. Whether in a location with multiple protocol
availability, or moving from one network environment to another,
a multi-protocol, multi-mode solution is needed to allow the user
to connect seamlessly. The growing market need for the swift movement
of all data types, data, voice and video, will favor companies offering
higher transmission rates while providing support for the current
installed base of users.
"Our development strategy is closely aligned
with feedback from our customers and projections from industry analysts,"
says Ruediger Stroh. "The wireless LAN market is demanding
higher bandwidth, greater network capacity and seamless support
for legacy systems. These demands will be best served by multi-band,
multi-protocol solutions that can quickly support the newest high-speed
standards, according to a recent statement from IDC."
