Magnolia Broadband announced the conclusion of final field tests of a transmit solution it said boosted CDMA wireless voice capacity an average of 42 percent.
The trials for the DiversityPlus chipset were conducted by an unnamed U.S. Code Division Multiple Access digital carrier and reflected similar tests last summer with SK Telecom in South Korea.
"We are pleased to have conducted the final testing of our DiversityPlus technology with a major U.S. wireless carrier and we look forward to commercial deployment in the United States at the end of the year," said Chief Executive Officer Osmo Hautanen. "Carriers deploying our technology will be able to provide a high level of service while substantially reducing capital and operating costs."
DiversityPlus chipsets embedded in wireless handsets combine radio transmit signals and are designed to allow carriers to serve more individual customers without a significant increase in cell-tower numbers and with fewer dead zones.
The chipset also requires lower power volumes and allows higher data flows through a handset.

Perfect transmission with SkyMAX
Siemens Communications recently succeeded in completing the first live data transfer with SkyMAX, a new end-to-end
WiMAX ( Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) solution based on the IEEE 802.16-2004 standard, in its test lab in Milan, Italy . During the live link between a modem and a base station in the 3.5 GHz frequency spectrum, data was transmitted at a top speed of up to 12 megabits per second in 3.5 MHz bandwidth. Transmission rates as high as this had only previously been achieved with early proprietary systems.
Lab and field test produces top speed for mobile network of up to 360 megabits per second
At the "Mobile Internet 2010" forum held by the German Ministry of Education and Research on September 14 and 15, Siemens presented the latest results from its mobile communication
research for the first time to the general public. On a test system, videos and music as well as a Microsoft NetMeeting conference were
transmitted in wireless mode at data rates of up to 360 megabits per second (Mbps). This speed is around
one hundred times faster than the fastest DSL connection available today. To also achieve these peak data rates for larger coverage areas, Siemens is the first company in the world to test a combination of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and the so-called multi-hop technology, a new infrastructure concept. The system was already tested successfully in a field trial in the center of Munich.
