Technology

Our advanced wireless broadband network currently relies on network infrastructure equipment based on proprietary NLOS, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, or OFDM technologies. We have committed to deploy networks based on the IEEE mobile Worldwide Interoperability of Microwave Access 802.16e-2005, or mobile WiMAX, standard using the OFDMA, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access, or our unique SC-OFDMA, Scalable OFDMA, technologies.

The use of SC-OFDMA reduces system complexity of smaller channels and improves performance of wider channels. It supports channel bandwidths ranging from 1.25 MHz to 20 MHz. With bandwidth scalability, Mobile WiMAX technology can comply with global frequency regulations and be flexible enough to address diverse operator or ISP requirements, both, for providing a basic Internet service and a broadband service bundle.

As with our current network infrastructure equipment, we expect mobile WiMAX to support fixed, portable and mobile service offerings using single network architecture. Foris offers services based on the market leader chipset manufacturer Runcom Technologies, who offer advanced Mobile Wimax Chipsets MIMO (Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) technology support.

Mobile WiMAX

Mobile WiMAX is an IP-based technology, optimized for high-throughput, real-time data applications. Mobile WiMAX is based on the IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard and will operate in our 2.3 GHz, 2.5 GHz, 2.7 GHz and 3.5 GHz spectrum bands (as well as potentially other bands). We expect our planned mobile WiMAX network to be a wireless IP-based, Ethernet platform, designed around an OFDM and TDD physical layer, to address NLOS performance and frequency utilization issues. Furthermore, we expect that mobile WiMAX will meet all of our anticipated requirements for mobile Internet usage, as we believe it will support multiple handoff mechanisms, power-saving mechanisms for mobile devices, advanced quality of service and low latency for improved support of real-time applications as well as advanced authorization, authentication and accounting functionality.

A mobile WiMAX network is expected to consist of base station transceivers, a network management system and subscriber devices. For subscribers, we expect that mobile WiMAX enabled chipsets will be initially included in NLOS modems CPE and in PC Cards. Eventually, we expect manufacturers to sell a number of handheld communication and consumer electronic devices that will be able to communicate using our mobile WiMAX network. These would include devices such as notebook computers, ultra mobile PCs, PDAs, gaming consoles and MP3 players along with other handheld devices.
