BERLIN /PRNewswire/ -- DWA Wireless has announced the first available design solution that provides up to 1 Mbps in both Sub 1 GHz bands, 868, and 915 MHz, based on parallel sequence spread spectrum (PSSS) PHY wireless technology. Original equipment manufacturers focused on ultra-low-power wireless applications, such as sensors, automatic meter reading, or building automation, now can use the advantages of the Sub 1 GHz band—such as better coverage, lower power consumption, and no interference with Bluetooth and WLAN—and still have the same high data rate that today's 2.4 GHz IC solutions provide. PSSS is a purely digital base-band PHY design solution that provides significantly more robustness and can be combined with various wireless IC front-ends (e.g., DSSS) and protocol stacks (e.g., ZigBee or IPv6).
The company is already working with IC manufacturers on the implementation of the IC solution. The first releases of FPGA-based modules and evaluation kits are scheduled for August 2006.
