VCom Inc.
WaveCom Electronics Inc. operates in four key new technology
sectors: Data-Over-Cable; Broadband Wireless, Digital Video and
Telemedicine. All of these technology sectors are now
undergoing or are poised for phenomenally rapid growth.
Advanced RF communications design is WaveComs core strength.
The coupling of this expertise with an extensive RF design
library, rapid design-to-manufacturing cycle time and high-
volume manufacturing positions WaveCom ahead of the market,
developing strategic partnerships with key OEM customers and
with a growing family of WaveCom-branded products.
WaveCom began when Dr. Surinder Kumar, entrepreneur founder,
current chairman and president entered into a contract to
develop bi-directional feed forward amplifiers for a major
American antenna supplier. Dr. Kumars patented designs made
reliable cellular telephone communications in RF unfriendly
places like subways and tunnels possible for the first time.
These pioneering and incredibly successful designs launched
WaveCom on the journey to where it is today!
On the way, WaveCom has established a reputation for high-
performance, fast-turnaround design at very competitive prices.
Market-leading expertise has been developed in high frequency RF
circuit design, high order modulation schemes, techniques for
coexistence of high-speed digital and high frequency RF,
microwave circuit design, custom RF circuit elements, designs
for automatically compensated high volume RF circuit
manufacturing, and more. WaveCom also offers a complete line of
commercial quality analog CATV products renowned as technically
superior, robust and reliable.
The list of advanced WaveCom RF and product designs currently in
use worldwide includes: 256 QAM Upconverters, QAM Modulators,
Frequency Translators, Agile Modulators, RF Frequency Stackers
and low-cost Modulators/Signal Processors for Video-On-Demand
(VOD). This list goes on to include Broadband Wireless Products
such as: Subscriber Transceivers, QAM Upconverters,
Transmitters, Power Amplifiers and Receiver/Downconverters for
frequencies from 2.1GHz to 31GHz.
As WaveCom has grown, so has its investment in human resources,
physical plant and capital assets. WaveCom is a Canadian
company with a 12,000 square ft research facility and a 27,000
sq. ft. manufacturing plant in Saskatoon, Canada. In 1997,
WaveCom also opened a new 8,000 sq. ft Microwave Research
Facility in Victoria, Canada. New design and high-volume
production facilities are in the planning stages and will be on
line soon. As of August, 2000 the company has grown to
approximately 240 employees with continuous recruitment ongoing.

Products
Tr2126 - Mmds/Mds Transceiver
Hd4040 - High Density Digital Upconverter
The HD4040 is a digital upconverter which achieves previously
unavailable density and conservation of headend rack space for
upconverter intensive applications such as digital video on
demand (DVOD) and cable modem service. Advanced design allows a
single card to cover a frequency band from 88 to 857 MHz and
still maintain a phase noise which exceeds the requirements of
64/256QAM.
Lmds - Tm5000 Transmitter
The TM5000 is a solid-state transmitter/upconverter for LMDS
applications. IF input from 1.85 to 2.85 GHz is upconverted
into custom 1 GHz bands from 26 to 29 GHz. The upconverted
signal is then amplified using MMIC technology for up to 4W
solid state output power.
Lmds - Rm5000 Low Noise Down Converter
The RM5000 is designed as a low noise down converter for the
signals in the 26.5 to 32 GHz band. Input taken from an antenna
is downconverted to 1000 to 1300 MHz using an external 100 MHz
reference.
Ma4040 - 256 Qam Upconverter
The MA404 is a fully agile commercial quality IF upconverter
for data over cable and cable modem applications. Advanced
design allows a single MA4040 card to cover a frequency band
from 53 to 857 MHz and still maintain a phase noise
specification which exceeds the requirements of 256 QAM. The
MA4040 is a modular circuit card designed for use with the
WaveCom MA4000 series.
Ma4050 - Qam Modulator Card
The MA4050 is a versatile commercial quality IF modulator for
cable, MMDS, and LMDS applications. Utilizing the latest all-
digital modulation techniques, the MA4050 card can be configured
to produce QPSK, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256 QAM. The MA4050 card
is designed for use with the MA4000 series.
