WIRELESS COMMUNICATION Antenna Embedded Radio System to Lower the Cost of 4G/LTE Deployment NEW PRODUCTS & SERVICES Ubidyne’s antenna embedded radio technology is the world’s very first commercially viable active antenna system for wireless communications. The uB700 antenna embedded radio supports 4G (LTE) in the North American digital dividend band (700 Mhz). This simple, low cost, high performance solution will enable mobile network operators to deliver optimal performance and quality of service while slashing network CAPEX and OPEX costs. The antenna embedded radio dramatically reduces energy consumption, enables simple, flexible deployment, and increases the coverage and capacity of mobile communications networks at lower cost points than previously possible. “Ubidyne was founded in September of 2005 to address two urgent needs: decrease the costs and increase the performance of mobile networks. Our team brought this concept to reality with our industry-first Antenna Embedded Radio, garnered the support of the world’s leading mobile network operators and incited what is now an industrywide Active Antenna movement,” said Michael Fränkle, CEO of Ubidyne. “Today, we are pleased to announce the introduction of our second product, the uB700 Antenna Embedded Radio, and look forward to achieving another industry-first milestone as we prepare for trials.” “I have followed Ubidyne since the very beginning. The company has led the industry in the development of Active Antenna Systems and I’m excited to see Ubidyne bring this powerful technology to the North American market,” said Brian Modoff, Mobile research analyst, Deutsche Bank. wireless sensor nodes, which run for up to 10 years on a single AAA battery pack, and the SC14CVMDECT base station device that can be integrated into standalone hub products or internet gateways - allowing the remote management of SmartPulse enabled systems over an internet connection. The DECT ULE standard is backwards compatible; enabling SmartPulse sensor nodes to communicate with existing legacy DECT enabled hubs and internet gateways from multiple manufacturers, with a simple software update. Lisa Arrowsmith, senior analyst with IMS Research’s Connectivity Group said, “DECT ULE can enable a variety of in-home applications, such as automation, security, energy management and consumer health monitoring. DECT technology has already proven its performance in residential environments, and the emerging DECT ULE standard will benefit from the maturity of previous DECT solutions, in terms of both technical development and consumer awareness. With low sleep-mode power consumption and a range well-suited to residential environments, IMS Research projects rapid uptake of the DECT ULE standard for wireless sensor networks.” “The rise of the smartphone and tablet PC has led to a shift that enables ease of control. By connecting SmartPulse devices to the web consumers can seamlessly and securely control multiple home systems simply from anywhere,” said Jalal Bagherli, CEO of Dialog. “Our heritage in power efficiency, combined with our acquired expertise in DECT and IP communications, puts us in a Dialog Semiconductor plc has released SmartPulse, the world’s first family of IC based devices interoperable with the DECT ULE (ultra low energy) wireless standard. SmartPulse has been created for home automation, healthcare, security and energy monitoring consumer applications. End products integrating SmartPulse wireless sensors self configure to connect with a home’s DECT ULE enabled hub device or IP gateway. End users will also be able to manage SmartPulse systems remotely via a smartphone, laptop or tablet PC. Dialog’s SmartPulse suite of IC based devices consists of the SC14WSMDATA (data) and SC14WSMDECT (data and audio) Dialog Semiconductor Launches SmartPulse, DECT ULE Wireless Sensor Network Devices WWW.ANTENNASONLINE.COM WINTER 2011 ANTENNA SYSTEMS & TECHNOLOGY 19 http://www.infowebcom.com/conferences_binders.htm thttp://www.infowebcom.com/conferences_binders.htm http://WWW.ANTENNASONLINE.COM
