News Highlights:
- Up to 10dB advantage over legacy QAM – now available on multi-carrier (OFDM) networks
- Enables up to 200% network throughput, 50% power savings or 50% spectrum savings
- Example: Transition cellular uplink from QAM16 single carrier today to QAM256 multi-carrier OFDM
- Maintains 100% backward compatibility with fielded OFDM Systems, which are all based on legacy QAM
Tel-Aviv, Israel – March 19, 2015 – NGMN Industry Conference & Exhibition– MagnaCom, a recognized technology innovation powerhouse, today announced that it will be demonstrating its WAM™ technology, the world’s highest capacity modulation technology for wireless networks and future 5G networks at the NGMN workshop in Frankfurt, Germany on March 24-25, 2015.
“We are excited to have MagnaCom perform a live demonstration of its foundational 5G modulation technology, at the upcoming NGMN Industry Conference & Exhibition,” said NGMN’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Peter Meissner. “A global initiative has been launched by NGMN to define the end-to-end requirements for 5G, and supporting companies such as MagnaCom who can help address operator requirements and future 5G market needs is what our event is all about. This type of advanced modulation technology, improving distance, speed, power and spectrum capacity, could have a profound impact on the entire mobile communications industry.”
MagnaCom enables wireless/wired global operators to realize their future 5G networks, which are significantly more efficient and more resilient, yet 100% backward compatible with today’s legacy QAM deployments. WAM allows much more data to be transmitted over the same spectrum, delivers much higher speeds, achieve longer distance wirelessly, and consumes far less power than has ever been possible before. WAM solves major analog and RF technology barriers for current and higher modulation levels, enabling an unprecedented 200% network throughput and up to a 50% reduction in power.
