Gilland Electronics and ELVA-1 have received FCC equipment authorization for PPC-1000-E point-to-point wireless radios. This authorization enables these 1.25 Gbps, full-duplex wireless Ethernet links, operating in the 71 GHz to 76 GHz and 81 GHz to 86 GHz bands, to be made available to the United States market.

The PPC-1000-E link provides a 1250 Mbps wireless Ethernet data pipeline that is equivalent in capacity to approximately 650 T1 lines or 1000 DSL connections. The result is terrestrial fiber equivalent performance, reliability and security, but without the high deployment costs associated with outdoor fiber installation.

Wireless Ethernet links may be established over distances up to 4.5 miles, depending upon average weather conditions for an area, and whether the user desires carrier or enterprise class availability. Secure remote monitoring and control via SNMP are easily imposed by connecting to a LAN jack anywhere in the network.

The PPC-1000-E is an ideal solution for Wi-Fi or mobile network extension and backhaul links, business WAN or IP telephony gateway connections, metropolitan area networks and rapid-deployment emergency communications.

Tendril's line of user-friendly, flexible access points provides functional access to any 802.15.4/ZigBee WSCN from traditional computing platforms such as PCs. Designed to serve as a gateway between wired and wireless networks, Tendril Access comes pre-packaged with a simple-to-use Windows driver with associated API. Tendril Access can stand on its own as a WSCN access point to support an organization's home-grown applications, or Access can connect to Tendril's modular network operations platform to create a pre-built, cohesive, comprehensive WSCN system.

Tendril Access products feature a simplified Windows interface, a communication interface that provides a basic communication interface on the access point and the PC for handling traffic, and sample code that provides easy-to-understand and easy-to-integrate sample code for the access point, enabling users to connect with the serial interface on the radio chip. Future upgradability is also supported.

Staccato Communications' SC3224R combo Bluetooth mini card reference design kit combines Bluetooth technology and Certified Wireless USB onto a single PCI Express mini card. It provides a fully integrated wireless PAN solution for notebook PC and wireless desktop applications. Marking the first-phase completion of Staccato's Bluetooth convergence roadmap, the SC3224R design is proof that Bluetooth and Certified Wireless USB can simultaneously function in close proximity on a single mini card design, simplifying integration in notebook PCs by sharing the same antenna and mini card interface.

The initial version of the SC3224R reference design kit will support current-generation Bluetooth and Certified Wireless USB for dual-mode wireless PAN applications. Future generations of the reference design, when allowed by the Bluetooth 3.0 specification, will support tri-mode functionality by adding Bluetooth 3.0 capabilities. Staccato's multiprotocol MAC architecture and protocol-independent kernel (PIK) enable the simultaneous support of multiple protocols on a single chip.

The SC3224R design enables the use of a single antenna shared simultaneously by both radios through a diplexer without any significant degradation in performance to either radio.
