Wi-LAN Inc.
About Wi-LAN
Wi-LAN is a leading developer of innovative wireless products
and technologies that enable the high-speed transmission of
data, including Internet access, over broadband wide area
networks. Along with our antenna subsidiary, TIL-TEK, we
provide comprehensive systems that allow rapid and cost-
effective deployment of wireless broadband services, and we
license and OEM our technologies to interested parties.
Broadband Wireless Solutions
Wi-LAN has two primary product categories in its broadband
wireless wide area networking portfolio: broadband wireless
access systems, and advanced wireless Ethernet bridges. Each
product line offers a wide range of choices to meet the specific
frequency, transmission speed, cost, and coverage requirements
of our customers. These products can be used in point-to-
multipoint and point-to-point network architectures, in both
licensed and unlicensed radio frequencies. Our products are
currently used to build and extend wide area networks (WANs) and
to extend local area networks (LANs), enabling service providers
to offer new revenue-generating broadband services to their
customers, and enabling enterprise customers to build or extend
their private networks. Our products have been sold in more
than 50 countries on six continents. Our customer base includes
telecommunication service providers, original equipment
manufacturers, businesses and other vertical market segments,
including educational institutions and government.
Technology Licensing
Wi-LANs strategy is to license its patented W-OFDM and MC-DSSS
technologies to industry participants. Wi-LAN has licensed its
patented W-OFDM technology to Philips Semiconductors Inc. for
use in designing and developing application specific integrated
circuits. We believe this approach will allow us to leverage
our core technology to effectively penetrate these high-growth
consumer and business markets. Our licensing strategy is
designed to promote our technologies to industry players, such
as additional semiconductor companies and consumer electronics
manufacturers, and to spur the development of broadband wireless
access products, including wireless local area networks (LANs),
home multimedia (HMM), and wireless road access networks
(RANs). This strategy is supplemented by other initiatives
including our leadership of the OFDM Forum, whose purpose is the
formulation of a single global compatible OFDM standard for
wireless communications. The OFDM Forum was launched in March
2000, and its founding members include CalTrans, Ericsson,
Nokia, Philips Semiconductors, Samsung Electro-Magnetics, Sony,
and Wi-LAN.
Network Living
The companys current focus is the first step towards realizing
its vision of Network Living, a concept of communicating
anywhere, anytime, to anyone. As demand for communications
needs increases, the marketplace will respond with the required
infrastructure. Wi-LAN believes its technology and networking
specialization is at the heart of this new way of living. Over
the next five years, Wi-LAN expects the LAN, HMM, and RAN
markets to mature as industry standards begin to enable global
compatibility.
