OLD NEWS..

Tantivy Communications, Inc. is a developer of wireless data communications technology. Tantivy has developed a portfolio of technologies, which includes innovations for all emerging mobile wireless data standards - 3GPP WCDMA, 3GPP2 CDMA2000, IEEE 802.11, and T1P1 WWINA, - including subscriber based smart antennas. Tantivy's smart antenna solutions are based on antenna and steering algorithm technology. Tantivy also has developed a field proven, full IP-based, end-to-end solution, (based on its I-CDMA technology, which is Committee T1 approved to be an ANSI Standard for Wireless Wideband Internet Access (WWINA) products) that enables portable, wireless broadband Internet access. Tantivy licenses its technology to manufacturers of silicon, consumer Internet appliances, and infrastructure equipment.

The Tantivy Portfolio:
Tantivy’s component technologies are available for all emerging wireless data standards including (but not limited to): WWINA, CDMA2000, WCDMA, 802.11, GPRS and TDD-CDMA. These value-added component technologies offer silicon providers, Internet appliance manufacturers, and infrastructure suppliers a competitive edge:



802.11

Smart Antenna solutions for 802.11 b/g/a access points and clients.


Subscriber Based Smart Antenna

Solutions for handsets, Internet appliances and modems that double data rates, capacity and range


Mobile Wireless Data Technologies

Maintenance Channel--for 5X Internet browsing capacity

Orthogonal Reverse Link--for 4X uplink data rates and capacity

Session and Quality of Service Algorithms--for differentiated capabilities and services



These technologies combined with additional Tantivy innovations have created:


Wireless Wideband Internet Access (WWINA)


WWINA Systems:
The WWINA standard was created to address the needs of mobile carriers for a portable, all IP broadband service. WWINA systems, based on I-CDMA technologies, offer a rich portable Internet experience at peak access speeds of 1.7Mbps (365 Kbps typical) for downloading and 221 Kbps for uploading data per user. WWINA technology is spectrally compatible with IS-95, and requires 1.25 MHz of spectrum. Mobile carriers with PCS, cellular, or MMDS spectrum are candidates for the WWINA solution. Tantivy has licensed partners for all required system products, completing an early adopter supply chain.

WWINA system speed, capacity, and coverage advantages enable mobile carriers, Internet service providers and competitive local exchange carriers to provide wireless broadband at a fraction of the cost of comparable wireline solutions. The WWINA solution allows service providers to obtain a quick return on investment--only two to three years--as compared to the industry average of five to seven years for voice-centric, high-mobility systems. WWINA gives subscribers the benefit of a true Internet experience, enabling them to wirelessly download as well as upload rich content faster and more cost effectively.

The WWINA network system is comprised of a subscriber device for receiving Internet data from the network system, a wireless Internet router to send data to Internet-ready subscriber devices, and software to manage the network. Currently available reference products provide portable broadband connectivity to laptop or desktop computers, or any Ethernet-enabled device. Tantivy offers partners a complete line of subscriber modem and wireless Internet router baseband ASICs, software, and associated reference designs. With the evolution of WWINA chipset technology, Tantivy is able to provide broadband wireless Internet access for existing and evolving Internet-ready devices.
