robv, mardy, or?........rob - I'm NOT a techy. I've owned WIN for over 2 years, and am here daily. With you tech guys here - anything guys like me posted would be moot. For some reason, even tho I'm registered at SI - I can't post. I wanted to reply to your 7777 there.https://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/msg.gsp?msgid=16168564
For 2 1/2 years, I've owned ADVC(Advanced Communications - otcbb) which is nearing completion of SpectruCell - an SDR(Software Defined Radio) basestation capable of simultaneous multiple protocol.
Besides the protocols listed below, SpectruCell also handles IEEE 802.11 and any others - existing or future.
My Q is - would this technology deal with the problems you were alluding to in your SI post 7777 if it were incorporated into WI-LAN's technology? Simultaneous handling of multi protocol thru SDR? 802.11a/802.11b or any other crossovers?
Below is exerpt from ADVC website with Co description and link to ADVC website.
About Advanced Communications Technologies
Advanced Communications Technologies Inc. (ACT) is a world leader in the development of software-defined radio (SDR), an innovative technology that allows for exceptional flexibility in commercial and military wireless communications. The Company's flagship product-SpectruCell, is a SDR multiple protocol wireless base station consisting of hardware and software, that enables network providers to install a single base station and configure it to any or all protocols (GSM, CDMA, UMTS, W-CDMA, etc). Without SpectruCell, network providers would need to install separate base stations for each desired protocol. SpectruCell is supported by several patent filings that bypass 90% of Qualcomm's (Nasdaq:QCOM - news) patents on CDMA via hardware solutions. ACT holds the exclusive rights to SpectruCell throughout the North, South and Central American markets and to other current and future products developed by its Australian research and development affiliate, which is 20% owned by ACT-US.
