MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA , a diversified digital media and technology
holding company, announced that it has entered the high-growth
wireless communications market and has received a $2 million
contract for the development and production of the first 3,000
White Space Radios (WSRs). This WSR program is part of Voyant's
ongoing strategy to combine existing and new technologies with the
company's substantial portfolio of intellectual property and domain
knowledge in order to address large, emerging applications in the
wireless sector.
The Voyant WSR is a novel, advanced broadband radio that will
utilize the so-called spectral white space soon being made
available by the FCC. The white space spectrum represents over 200
MHz of valuable bandwidth in the VHF/UHF band. These frequencies
support high-capacity, long-range and reliable wireless
communications, making them particularly useful for innovative new
services, including so-called WiFi 2.0 applications.
The flexible design of Voyant's WSR will allow it to be easily
configured to support a broad range of other customers and
applications. The software-defined WSR can be reprogrammed
over-the-air, allowing it to be remotely upgraded or reconfigured,
and will be capable of operation from 174 MHz to 1 GHz.
Consequently, it can be used by auction winners of the lower and
upper 700 MHz bands, as well as in the 900 MHz unlicensed bands. In
addition, Voyant may use the WSR in its own aviation broadband
service, which intends to bring true broadband service to
commercial airline passengers.
Under the terms of this initial contract, Voyant will design and
deliver 3,000 WSRs over multiple years. Voyant's launch customer
will use these radios for a variety of applications, including
"green," energy-efficient, utility and power management.
"The white space spectrum represents a new frontier for
innovation in wireless communications, and this program establishes
Voyant as a pioneer and leader in the WSR field," explained Ed
Gerhardt, Voyant's general manager of wireless systems. "Our
technological skill set, intellectual property and experience in
wireless systems make Voyant particularly well-suited to undertake
this challenging and exciting project and open the door to a host
of exciting new applications and markets."
