Broadband for the Masses 

The Challenge

 

 Today the greatest challenge and opportunity in telecommunications is in providing affordable Broadband service to the general public while addressing the ever increasing demand for bandwidth that is overwhelming all digital networks. Governments worldwide are desperate to bridge the digital divide so that all their citizens may have the opportunity to compete in local, national and global economies. According to a recent United Nations study, every 10% increase in a country’s population connected to the Internet results in a 1.3% increase in GDP. In real terms, that means for instance that Indonesia could increase its GDP by $35 Billion by connecting 50% of its population to the Internet. [1]


 Telecommunication companies, cable companies, internet service providers, and other technology companies have invested billions of dollars attempting to meet the challenges of bringing broadband service to the home, known as the “Last Mile” problem, and the exponentially increasing demand for bandwidth. Attempts to address the demand for bandwidth are leading governments, major corporations, and telecommunications experts toward the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) space, but there are no well defined solutions yet on the horizon, other than La Jolla Networks’ technology. To date, all attempts to provide a robust, low cost last mile solution while managing increasing bandwidth demands have failed. Broadband remains too expensive.

 

La Jolla Networks has solved the Last-Mile Problem with its patented wireless technology commercially known as WI-BUS™ (Wireless Broadband UHF Spectrum). In addition to providing low cost wireless connectivity, WI-BUS™ effectively increases network bandwidth by introducing significant operational efficiencies that greatly enhance spectrum utilization through packet prioritization and other technical innovations.

Why 

Wi-BUS™


Wi-BUS™, developed by La Jolla Networks, Inc., is a breakthrough, disruptive technology that presents an unmatched opportunity in the broadband markets.

Wi-BUS™ technology creates an efficient pathway that is broader and faster than any competing technology (WiFi, WiMAX, LTE, Ultraband, or 802.20) and provides a completely scalable technology using existing infrastructure.

How? By unlocking the use of UHF channels (frequencies) for effective delivery of digital data to homes and businesses (e.g., telephony, Internet, interactive voice, TV). Wi-BUS™ (Wireless Broadband UHF Spectrum) is 10 times faster and a fraction of the cost of what is presently offered to consumers and businesses.

Wi-BUS™ not only supports the delivery of general-purpose data to fixed home equipment, it can also be used to support mobile phones, laptops and other applications. Thus, La Jolla Networks has the opportunity to adapt its offerings to networks employing one or a number of media (triple- and quadruple-play), and to any number of network applications.
