InterDigital Introduces New Adaptive Interference Management Software That Optimizes Wi-Fi Network Performance
AIM PERFORMWARE(TM) Product Offers Wi-Fi Equipment Manufacturers a Low-Cost Solution That Minimizes the Impact of RF Interference and Improves Customer Satisfaction
SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec 1, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- InterDigital Communications Corporation (Nasdaq:IDCC), a leading architect, designer and provider of wireless technology product platforms and product solutions, today announced the launch of its second Adaptive Interference Management(TM) (AIM) product, AIM PERFORMWARE(TM), at the Wi-Fi Planet Conference in San Jose, California.
InterDigital's AIM PERFORMWARE solution is an RF interference management middleware product that minimizes the impact of RF interference in Wi-Fi networks. The solution is a modular and portable software architecture that can be easily integrated into a Wi-Fi manufacturer's access point platform with minimal customization. Using patented RF measurement-based technologies, a Wi-Fi access point enabled with AIM PERFORMWARE can dynamically monitor the radio environment and automatically optimize important system parameters such as channel and power. The result is optimum performance, predictable and continuous coverage, and improved customer satisfaction.
"InterDigital's AIM PERFORMWARE is a very cost-effective, differentiated solution for Wi-Fi access points that helps solve Wi-Fi system performance issues and improve customer satisfaction," stated Mark Lemmo, Senior Business Development Officer. "As the number of Wi-Fi users rapidly grows, Wi-Fi devices and access points have started interfering with each other. This is a serious issue that is compounded by interference caused by other disruptive elements in both home and public environments. Interference can substantially degrade data transfer speed, capacity, and coverage in Wi-Fi products thereby reducing overall quality of service. Our AIM PERFORMWARE product helps to resolve this issue by selecting optimal system performance parameters and constantly monitoring and dynamically adjusting these parameters as the environment changes."
Access points enabled with AIM PERFORMWARE show substantial performance improvements over standard access points. For example, in tests with seven access points serving 70 Wi-Fi client devices in a large office environment, the system enabled with the AIM PERFORMWARE solution operated at average file transfer speeds per user six times greater than the same system using standard access points without AIM PERFORMWARE.
InterDigital's AIM PERFORMWARE product is easy to implement, offering Wi-Fi access point manufacturers a differentiated solution for their products targeting the home, small business, and enterprise segments. Designed to operate independently of other access points or Wi-Fi devices, AIM PERFORMWARE enabled access points can coexist with standard access points and can operate with all 802.11a/b/g devices.
InterDigital's AIM product suite also includes AIM ANTENNA(TM) products for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and cellular devices. The AIM ANTENNA solution combines patented beam steering software and antenna designs that provide equipment manufacturers and semiconductor suppliers with a cost-effective product to differentiate their WLAN device offerings. AIM ANTENNA technologies can be easily incorporated in client devices, including PC cards, USB sticks and dongles, as well as fully integrated in mobile devices. Incorporating proprietary smart antenna technologies, the AIM ANTENNA product is designed to significantly reduce wireless interference, enhance network capacity and coverage, deliver higher average data rates and extend battery life - all of which contribute to a higher quality of service experience for both business users and consumers.
