MagnaCom Wins 2015 CES Innovations Award

MagnaCom, a privately held company with a mission to reinvent digital communications, today announced it has been named a 2015 CES (News - Alert) Innovation Award Honoree in the Embedded Technologies product category for its WAM technology. MagnaCom is challenging the 40 years dominance of legacy QAM with WAM - a novel digital modulation, delivering a system gain advantage of up to 10dB. WAM results in up to 400% longer reach, 50% lower power, 50% better spectrum utilization and massive improvements in speed, throughput and networks operating cost. Today's announcement was made at the 2015 International CES Unveiled in New York City.

WAM technology was selected for driving Innovation in digital communications allowing device makers to create a whole new generation of products, which help alleviate the global spectrum congestion, reduce power and satisfy the explosive demand for bandwidth. The CES Innovations Award have been recognizing achievements in product design and engineering since 1976, with winners selected by a distinguished panel of independent industrial designers, independent engineers and members of the trade media.

"MagnaCom is proud to be selected by the Consumer Electronics Association for this prestigious award," said Yossi Cohen, co-founder and CEO of MagnaCom. "WAM is the new modulation of the 21st century and represents the pinnacle of innovation. The extreme benefits of WAM will allow much more data to be transmitted over the same spectrum, resultig in networks that are more resilient, deliver much higher speeds, and consume less power than ever been possible before. We are working diligently to promote WAM into 5G, WiFi (News - Alert) and other working groups and anticipate broader adoption in the coming years."

MagnaCom's revolutionary WAM technology can save spectrum and power, while increasing bandwidth, speed and distance, for state-of-the-art wired and wireless devices. WAM delivers those benefits while maintaining 100% backward compatibility with the legacy devices in use today, and while costing less than 1mm2 of silicon to implement. Demonstrating a dramatic 10dB system gain improvement, is considered equivalent to a 20-year leap in digital communications, and most importantly achieved without making any modifications to the RF, antennas, or analog front end. Initial deployment is expected in point-to-point applications, such as wireless backhaul and satellite systems, followed by broader adoption into standards-based mass markets like cable, DSL, Wi-Fi and cellular.

Availability and Meet at CES 2015

MagnaCom is currently working with its' early access partners and will be demonstrating WAM again at the upcoming 2015 CES. The demonstration will take place in January 6-9, 2015 in the North Tower of the Westgate Las Vegas Resort (formerly LVH and Hilton) in Las Vegas.

About MagnaCom

MagnaCom is a privately held technology company aiming to reinvent the evolution of digital communications. The company was founded around a whole new, patented modulation technology called WAM™, which can help alleviate the global spectrum congestion and insatiable demand for more bandwidth. This impacts cellular, Wi-Fi, satellite and cable TV, wireless backhaul, cable and DSL modems, long and short haul fiber and numerous other applications. WAM technology applies to carriers, handset manufacturers, and any wired and wireless system OEMs, and communication IC vendors who strive to save spectrum, increase bandwidth, speed and distance or reduce power consumption. With over 15 issued patents and over 50 more pending MagnaCom is challenging the 40-year dominance of QAM as the modulation of choice for all advanced wired and wireless systems. The company has assembled a world-class team of scientists, executives and advisors from Broadcom (News - Alert), Qualcomm, Motorola Mobility (acquired by Google), Texas Instruments, Intel, ST Microelectronics and Passif Semiconductor (recently acquired by Apple (News - Alert)).
