The Challenge of Bi-directional Image Transfer Over Wireless Data Networks
Overview Wireless data networks enable the mobile worker to communicate anywhere, anytime without the restrictions a hard wireline connection to the telephone system placed on the user. This new found freedom comes at a price, however, as existing wireless data network tariff rates are based on the quantity of information transferred rather than the time the user is connected. As such, excessive cost has hindered the wide spread adoption of image transfer applications such as facsimile or document imaging. If the cost of transferring images on wireless data networks could be reduced by compressing the images substantially, beyond existing compression levels, then new applications for wireless data networks could be found. This paper is an outgrowth of the joint project between the Advanced Radiodata Research Centre (ARRC) of Motorola and Kalman Technologies Inc., the predecessor to Image Power, Inc. The project focused on the development of a compression technology to enable wireless facsimile receive and other imaging applications to wireless subscribers.
