Signal Code Modulation Extends Broadband Over Wireless
Overview
This paper discusses current wireless broadband technologies and how BridgeWave's unique technology, Signal Code Modulation, enables seamless wired to wireless integration. An example SCM application is also presented.
Cable and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) modems have emerged as the dominant low-cost broadband access technologies for subscribers residing in major metropolitan areas. However, these technologies have the potential to supply multi-megabit data, voice, and
video services to only 60-80% of the subscribers in these first tier markets. Cable modems have good coverage in residential areas, but lack infrastructure in most business areas. DSL can provide multi-megabit services to subscribers within 12,000 feet of the
central switching office, but is limited to sub-megabit speeds beyond this distance. Wireless technologies offer the promise to provide services to subscribers who are not well-served by cable and DSL, yet today's wireless alternatives do not meet the cost and
performance requirements needed to economically deploy multi-megabit services pervasively throughout dense metropolitan areas.
