At the Consumer Electronics Show last month, MagnaCom demonstrated a 20 year leap in digital communications by introducing a new, patented modulation technology called WAM (Wave Modulation). This technology will help alleviate the global spectrum congestion and help satisfy the explosive demand for bandwidth. “MagnaCom’s new invention of WAM technology is a multi-decade leap forward compared to best-of-breed today, and can ignite the next true revolution in digital communications,” said Yossi Cohen, co-founder and CEO of MagnaCom. “In shattering several industry axioms and demonstrating a 10dB advantage, MagnaCom offers extreme benefits – from slashing up to 50% of power and spectrum, to quadrupling distance, enhancing speed and improving call quality.” WAM will increase capacity and provide an optimal handling of nonlinear distortion, ultimately resulting in significant improvements versus legacy QAM systems. Some of the benefits will be up to 10dB system gain advantage, up to 50% lower power, up to 400% the distance, up to 50% spectrum savings, better noise tolerance, increase in speed, lower cost and easier design, and 100% backward compatibility. “With wireless applications often dominated by conflicting requirements – spectral availability, bandwidth, and quality; component availability, performance and cost; rate; range; power consumption; and reliability and more, what’s needed is a fundamental advancement in communications technology with the potential to address all of these requirements and more. We’ve got our eye on MagnaCom’s WAM, a fascinating approach to advancing the state-of-the-art in wireless communications that might even have the ability to unify the local-area world of wireless and the wide-area world of cellular in a single technology,” said Craig J. Mathias, Principal with the wireless and mobile advisory firm, Farpoint Group.
