Platform supporting various Wireless Standards


Open Wireless Architecture (OWA) – The Foundation to O S t Utili ti d Ubi it Wi l N t kOpen Spectrum Utilization and Ubiquitous Wireless Networks


November 4th, 2010 in USPTO Headquarter, Alexandria, Virginia




xxxWhat’s wrong today…

We kept looking for one single di t i i t h lradio transmission technology

supporting both very high-speed broadbandspeed broadband transmission and seamless mobility which does not exist yat all in commercial environment!
