Vecima Network Wireless Equipment

Vecima Networks, designs, manufactures and sells products that enable broadband access to cable, wireless and telephony networks. Vecima hardware products incorporate embedded software developed by Vecima to meet the complex requirements of next- generation, high- speed digital networks. Service providers use Vecima solutions to deliver services to a converging worldwide broadband market, including what are commonly known as "triple play" (voice, video and data) and "quadruple play" (voice, video, data and wireless) services. Vecima solutions allow service providers to rapidly and cost-effectively bridge the final network segment that connects a system directly to end-users, commonly referred to as "the last mile", by overcoming the bottleneck resulting from insufficient carrying capacity in legacy last- mile infrastructures. Vecima core expertise is radio frequency (RF) Wireless technology. Vecima products incorporate sophisticated software developed by Vecima that is used for advanced high-speed digital signal processing, control and compensation functions in RF wireless circuits and for implementation of high- level wireless digital modulation. Vecima's embedded software also facilitates the implementation of other network functions, such as media access control (MAC) and embedded system management, which are required by emerging broadband wireless standards like WiMAX. Vecima's products are directed at two principal markets: Converged Wired Solutions (Broadband "Wired") and Broadband Wireless. Vecima Data over Cable products include a family of upconverters and modulators that process data from routers and convert it to higher frequencies for transmission over cable to subscribers. Vecima Broadband Wireless products include transmitters and transceivers that process data from routers, switches and modems and transmit it to subscribers over wireless infrastructure. Vecima Digital Video products include gigabit rate network edge devices, modulators, modulator/upconverter modules and transmodulators that accept very high bit rate video streams from central servers and transmit them to subscribers. We have also developed and continue to focus on developing products to address emerging markets, such as voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), fiber to the home (FTTH) and IP video.
