ENCINO, Calif., May 14, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- TechnoCom Corporation (http://www.technocom-wireless.com), a leader in 5.9 GHz Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) technologies for Vehicle Integration Infrastructure (VII) applications, today launched its Multiband Configurable Networking Unit (MCNU(tm)), an Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) 802.11a/b/g and p compliant wireless router simultaneously supporting 4.9 GHz public safety, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz municipal Wi-Fi and 5.9 GHz DSRC network applications.
The MCNU wireless router supports industry common protocols for vehicle communications operating within FCC licensed 5.9 GHz DSRC and is compliant with IEEE DSRC/Wireless Access in a Vehicular Environment (WAVE) set of standards designed for the transportation and automotive industries, including 802.11p, 1609.2, 1609.3, and 1609.4.
"Public networks and VII applications have the capability to improve traffic congestion and reduce the number of deaths and injuries on the road," said Masoud Motamedi, president of TechnoCom. "TechnoCom's technology in the MCNU offers an unprecedented value proposition for operators of municipal wireless networks."
The MCNU is one solution in a suite of expanding wireless communications software solutions and services from TechnoCom's Mobility Solutions group that enables local, regional or national wireless communication networks -- whether in licensed or unlicensed frequency bands. The MCNU supports secure, anonymous applications for mobile communications for municipalities, agencies at all levels of government and the public safety, automotive and transportation industries.
"Not only does TechnoCom's technology support VII and cooperative intersection collision avoidance systems (CICAS) that can help a driver approaching an intersection recognize the state of activities within that intersection and enhance safe passage through the intersection, but it also supports standard wireless internet applications such as web browsing, email and secure remote access to intranets," added Motamedi.
