At the CES show in 2014, MagnaCom will demonstrate new technologies that will assist telecom operators to reduce spectrum congestion.
In a statement, MagnaCom said its new and patented modulation technology called WAM (WAve Modulation) will alleviate the global spectrum congestion and help satisfy the explosive demand for bandwidth.
MagnaCom’s new technology can save spectrum and power, while increasing bandwidth, speed and distance, for wired and wireless devices. WAM delivers those benefits while maintaining 100 percent backward compatibility with the legacy devices in use today.
Demonstrating a 10dB system gain improvement, is considered equivalent to a 20-year leap in digital communications, and is achieved without making any modifications to the RF, antennas, or analog front end.
MagnaCom claims that it is challenging the 40-year dominance of QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) as the modulation of choice and used in virtually all wired and wireless products today, and deployed in over seven billion connected devices.
The company said its WAM technology modulates information differently, resulting in a major system gain benefit (e.g. up to 10dB vs. QAM4096). The technology’s disruptive capability is critical for any wireless and wired carrier, wireless or wired communication OEM, and ultimately any handset manufacturer. WAM technology impacts cellular, Wi-Fi, satellite and cable TV, wireless backhaul, cable and DSL modems, fiber infrastructure and numerous other applications.
Yossi Cohen, co-founder and CEO of MagnaCom, said: “In shattering several industry axioms and demonstrating a 10dB advantage, MagnaCom offers extreme benefits – from slashing up to 50 percent of power and spectrum, to quadrupling distance, enhancing speed and improving call quality.”
