(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Voyant International, a digital media and technology holding company,
announced that it has entered the wireless communications market and
has received a $2 million contract for the development and production
of the first 3,000 White Space Radios (WSRs).
According to Voyant, the WSR program is part of Voyant's ongoing
strategy to combine existing and new technologies with the company's
substantial portfolio of intellectual property and domain knowledge in
order to address emerging applications in the wireless sector.
Company officials noted that The white space spectrum represents over
200 MHz of valuable bandwidth in the VHF/UHF band. These frequencies
support wireless communications, making them useful for new services,
including so-called WiFi 2.0 applications.
Under the terms of this initial contract, Voyant said it will design
and deliver 3,000 WSRs over multiple years. Voyant's launch customer

energy-efficient, utility and power management.
"The white space spectrum represents a new frontier for innovation in
wireless communications, and this program establishes Voyant as a
pioneer and leader in the WSR field," explained Ed Gerhardt, Voyant's
general manager of wireless systems. "Our technological skill set,
intellectual property and experience in wireless systems make Voyant
particularly well-suited to undertake this challenging and exciting
project and open the door to a host of exciting new applications and
markets."
