Breakthrough technology 'could improve mobile broadband connections'
Wednesday 18th February 2009, by Daniel King
New technology to be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress 2009 could provide a major breakthrough in the development of fast and reliable mobile broadband.
Advanced Receiver Technologies (ART) is set to launch its pioneering new technology aimed at bringing high-speed, uninterrupted coverage to 3G mobile users.
The firm says its new interference cancellation device could help network operators to double their capacity and ensure continuous, high-speed broadband services.
By embedding the Single Antenna Interference Cancellation-Joint Detection (SAIC-JD) into the baseband chip within 3G handsets or USB dongles, twice as many users will be able to connect within the same coverage area, without the need for changes to the network.
It will also provide "dramatically higher" and more consistent data rates and chief technology officer of ART Russell McKown said the device represents a "fully viable" option.
"Our technology offers a cost effective, credible solution to operators and handset manufacturers that want to address the issues of consistent, high-performance data transfer for 3G handsets," he commented.
Mr McKown added that the receiver technology - which has been shortlisted for an award at the GSM Association's Mobile Innovation Global Award Competition - would also have little impact on handset power consumption or manufacturing cost.
Its launch comes as mobile operator Vodafone announced another breakthrough in the development of mobile broadband network performance.
The firm has revealed that is currently testing a new product, which is designed to enhance 3G mobile signals in homes and small offices that receive lower levels of network coverage.
