A new wireless broadband broadcasting method seems to be finding its way in the already crowded spectrum of radio frequencies. This new broadcasting method will allow mobile wireless devices to connect and assure Internet broadband access for those locations where an online connection is impossible to be established, announced the solution’s inventor.
xMax, as this latest solution in data transmissions is called, is a relatively silent communications method, despite the fact that it uses a broadcasting channel that is already crowded with pager or TV signals, says Joe Bobier, xMax’s inventor.
This solution poses no threat of interference with other signals, but allows the breach of other frequencies, in order to obtain an optimum broadcasting channel. The system permits the broadcasting of signals that would normally be too weak to be received by normal antennas. However, with the help of specially-designed receivers, these signals can be tracked, because they are specially calibrated in order to be detected in certain pre-established conditions. In other words, the signal is broadcasted through a standard channel, but it’s tracked only be special instruments and doesn’t require a separate spectrum of frequencies.
Seeing that these criteria are extremely favorable for the telephony operators or the Internet providers which don't have access to certain radio frequencies, the respective companies could offer wireless broadband access which would not imply the initial installation of a large number of antennas, their number growing together with the demand.
Quite obviously, such a service would prove to be extremely useful in rural areas, which don't offer any other option for connecting to the Internet connection options, where the access to 3G mobile networks is either missing for now or too expensive for the users’ needs.
The xMax improves the broadcasting range with about 400-500%, and XG Technology, the company that owns the patents for this solution is already talking with several equipment manufacturers in order to develop a complete hardware solution and launch the service.
The radio chips which will be integrated in the broadcasting devices will cost about $5-6 if the manufacturing levels are constantly high and the price for an amplifying unit will be of about $350.000. Considering the quality of the signal assured by these devices, the prices are more than reasonable for any operator.
The first xMax network is presently being developed in Miami - Fort Lauderdale, where a single antenna covers over 60 square kilometers.
