Wireless Innovation Forum Adds Seven New Members in First Half of 2011
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Wireless Innovation Forum™ (www.WirelessInnovation.org), a non-profit international industry association dedicated to driving the future of radio communications and systems worldwide, today announced the addition of seven new member organizations. These new members bring a broad base of experience in Software Defined Radio (SDR), Cognitive Radio (CR) and Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) technologies in diverse markets at levels of the wireless value chain spanning from research labs to telecommunications equipment manufacturers:
Key Bridge Global LLC provides systems integration, custom software, research and development and professional services to companies and government agencies. Key Bridge is an FCC-designated spectrum administrator.
MIPS Technologies is a leading provider of industry-standard processor architectures and cores for digital home, networking and mobile applications. MIPS has long been known as the embedded processor leader in digital home products such as DTVs, set-top boxes, Blu-ray players and WiFi routers. Its leadership position in high-performance processing for multimedia and networking applications, and its ‘Android on MIPS’ initiative, are enabling the company to expand into other high-growth markets such as mobile products. The MIPS architecture is supported by a broad ecosystem of tools and software, and offers performance, power and cost efficiencies that provide differentiation for applications and baseband processing, connectivity and other areas. MIPS-based mobile devices including smartphones, tablets, LTE PC modems and e-readers are now shipping around the world.
“As a leader in networking markets and an emerging player in mobile applications, MIPS Technologies is pleased to join the Wireless Innovation Forum. Since our processors are an enabling technology for software defined radio and cognitive radio in baseband modems for mobile phones, PC modems, wireless basestations and other products, we are excited to be a part of this innovative organization. We are seeing increased interest and traction for the MIPS architecture in baseband processing because of unique technologies such as multithreading, which provides much lower latencies and improved user responsiveness,” said Manuel Uhm, MIPS Technologies’ Mobile Marketing Director, and Chair of the User Requirements Committee and Member of the Board of Directors for WINNF.
Adaptrum is a Silicon Valley-based startup developing wireless technologies and market-based mechanisms to enable new multi-use network infrastructure/services to meet the growing wireless broadband demand.
SecureComm, Inc. provides systems engineering and software development for secure communications and cryptographic systems. SecureComm specializes in SDR systems for the defense industry.
Fairwaves develops easy-to-use field deployable software defined radio framework. Highly-modularized software and specialized hardware provide an unprecedentedly flat learning curve, while open core design leads to significant savings both in development costs and total cost of ownership. Tecnalia Research & Innovation.
Cognovo licenses a family of low power flexible modem platforms into the cellular and wireless industries, enabling the commercial realization of software defined modem solutions. Cognovo's platforms comprise the MCE family of chip-level hardware IP, based around Cognovo's powerful new vector signal processor engine, together with a comprehensive development environment which simplifies the realization of the latest generation of flexible wireless modems in software. Customer applications include multimode HSPA, LTE and LTE-A cellular chipsets and handheld devices, femtocells, military handheld, etc.
“Over the next 5 years soft modem technology is predicted to become mainstream for volume applications such as cellular handsets. The Wireless Innovation Forum provides a focal point bringing together companies and institutions with a common interest in the advancement and application of soft modem technology,” said Gordon Aspin, CEO of Cognovo. “As a business whose rationale is the commercialization of such technologies, we readily recognized the benefits for Cognovo in joining the Forum and playing our part in contributing to the Forum’s ongoing activities.”
