CORPORATE BACKGROUNDER
Corporate Summary
NV Technology is the developer of a revolutionary proprietary transmission technology that allows data to
be transmitted across copper telephone wire at speeds comparable to fiber optic data transfer rates. The com-pany
will market this pioneering technology to leading chipmakers, equipment makers, and service providers
(such as telephone companies), in the telephony and telecommunications industries. This technology will
allow these entities to reliably and cost-effectively provide voice, video and data content over the existing
copper telecommunications infrastructure, eliminating the need for fiber optic cable to the home or office.
NV Technology is a wholly owned subsidiary of New Visual Corporation.
The Need
The desire to easily, affordably, and quickly access voice, data, and video has increased as applications for
media rich content have become more widely available. And, while the backbone of the Internet has been
enriched with the extreme capacity and speed associated with fiber optics, the local telephone network of
copper wire remains a “bottleneck” barrier to accessing bandwidth-hungry applications such as music and
video. To meet this need, a myriad of potential broadband solutions are being developed and introduced
that attempt to replace (fiber) or bypass (wireless) the last mile of copper telephone wire across the globe.
Most of these solutions are facing serious barriers to entry when deployed, either the needed infrastructure
isn’t completely built out, or the cost for service providers is exorbitantly high.
Many have suggested fiber is the transport technology of the future, but excitement is waning as the expen-sive
realities of laying fiber have surfaced. Industry analysts estimate that fiber will reach only 40 percent
of U.S. businesses within the next 10 years. By the end of this decade, 10.9 million U.S. businesses out of
18.2 million will not be reached by fiber. Analyst firm Gartner Group estimates that the cost of providing
fiber optic cabling to individual homes ranges from approximately $1,000 to $6,000 per household.
DSL technologies have been pointed to as the way of the future but have also run into significant barriers.
According to Gartner Group, waning demand for the service and the hesitancy of service providers and
infrastructure investors to commit financially, have dulled many of the initial expectations for VDSL, the fastest
version of DSL technology. One key reason for this cooling interest is the fact that current VDSL technology,
like all existing copper-based technologies, has a distance limitation that prevents its use in remote areas.
By delivering fiber optic speeds over copper and increasing the range associated with high speed tech-nologies
such as VDSL over the existing telephone infrastructure, NV Technology can dramatically improve
the status of broadband communications– allowing for the delivery of high-speed data without the complex-ity
and financial burden of rebuilding national telephony infrastructure with fiber optic technology. Assuming
no significant technology advancements, analyst firm Cahners In-Stat estimates the technology sector of the
broadband industry will grow to a $24 billion market segment.
