So Wilan has a San Diego Research Office?


Is it Cygnus, run by Ken Stanwood, formerly of Ensemble Communications from whom WIN bought the important Wimax patents?

"We continued to build upon WiLAN’s rich history of innovation with our ongoing development of enabling technologies for white space networking. In 2010, WiLAN, with the support of a team of engineers based in San Diego, California, also engaged in the development of technologies that aid the deployment of LTE in picocell and femtocell networks. The inventions being generated by our research and development efforts are targeting large markets and we are optimistic that they will prove valuable to industry."

The future of mobile connectivity is being driven by skyrocketing demand for rich, compelling multimedia content. LTE technology deployed in picocells or femtocells brings many benefits to operators focused on building cost-effective networks to deliver a superior user experience.
