DENVER, Nov. 16, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- TensorComm, (www.tensorcomm.com) a wireless technology company, whose interference cancellation core improves the performance of CDMA2000(r) and WCDMA terminals and allows operators to increase network capacity and utilize their spectrum more efficiently, announced today the availability of the next generation of its interference cancellation technology that will apply to CDMA2000 (1X and 1xEV-DO) and WCDMA (including HSDPA) networks.
The enhancement is specifically optimized to address a fully loaded code space; a condition often seen in EV-DO systems and at base stations on 2.5G and 3G networks. Further, it is also completely compatible with 1X, WCDMA and HSDPA networks, where the code space is not always fully utilized.
TensorComm's patented Interference Cancellation Technology (ICT(tm)) delivers a cost-effective, easily deployable CDMA and WCDMA component that fits in a mobile device without requiring form factor changes or radio frequency (RF) redesign. The previous version of ICT successfully completed operator commercial network field trials and yielded an average gain of 1.97 dB. It is well recognized that a 1.25 dB gain will provide an operator with a 40% increase in capacity, coverage and data throughput. With these latest improvements, average gains are now expected in the 2.5 4.0dB range. Field evaluations on both EV-DO and HSDPA networks will be conducted in the first quarter of 2006.
Given the relatively low cost of this technology compared to other commonly considered spectral efficiency tools, the operator community now has a viable option to deploy across the entire range of handsets, rather than just the high end where other solutions can be cost justified. TensorComm has also recently demonstrated additive gains when their technology is deployed in conjunction with other solutions, such as Mobile Receive Diversity.
"Our R&D investment in interference cancellation continues to produce hardware-efficient solutions for CDMA and WCDMA," said Dr. Louis Scharf, Chief Scientist of TensorComm. "Today our engineering team announces a breakthrough in ICT(tm) that increases handset performance and network efficiency for voice and data networks, where the code space is heavily or fully loaded, and the channel is complex. This breakthrough solves an immediate problem for wireless networks and identifies a clear development path for continuing enhancements."
"With the aggressive deployments of data centric wireless networks around the world, carriers will be sharply focused on providing a superior customer experience," said John Thomas, CEO and founder of TensorComm. "This latest round of improvements to our technology will allow customers to enjoy much higher data rates and more consistent coverage when using streaming applications. This provides wireless carriers the flexibility to improve network capacity, coverage and service quality while enhancing Internet services for high-end data users."
