Voyant International Corporation (OTCBB: VOYT), a diversified media
and technology holding company dedicated to improving the quality
of the digital world for businesses and consumers, celebrated the
dawn of a new era in wireless communications. Today marks the
deadline set by the FCC for the end of analog television broadcast,
freeing up valuable wireless spectrum for innovative new uses.
While broadcast television viewers will now benefit from higher
quality, digital signals, the wireless frequencies corresponding to
unused television channels are now also being made available for
novel wireless services. Voyant is a pioneer in the development of
the white space radios (WSRs) that are expected to enable these new
services.
One potential application for WSR includes wireless broadband
access for underserved communities as envisioned in the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). This and other
broadband applications have sometimes been referred to as "WiFi
2.0" because of their potential to surpass traditional wireless
Internet access methods. Other potential uses of WSR include
machine-to-machine (M2M) networks, mobile social network
applications and supervisory, control and data acquisition (SCADA)
networks.
Unlike traditional licensed spectra, use of the white space
spectrum does not require an FCC license. Consequently, creative
and dynamic companies can harness these frequencies to deliver new,
previously unforeseen services without a large cost barrier to
adoption. This has the potential to spur a revolution in the
wireless industry while also stimulating the nation's economy.
"Voyant began development of WSRs when it received a $2 million
order in May 2008," said Ed Gerhardt, Voyant's general manager of
wireless systems. "We are therefore well positioned to serve this
entire new industry with the fundamental radio technologies that
will be required."
The IEEE is developing standards to facilitate interoperability
and co-existence between different WSRs. "Voyant is a strong
supporter of, and contributor to, this standards work," added
Gerhardt. "Voyant also has the in-house expertise necessary to
design radios that will comply with these evolving standards and
with the FCC's stringent requirements not to interfere with
incumbent users of this spectrum."
