Broadband Antenna Tracking Systems (BATS), announced that it has developed the software and hardware technology that locates, locks and tracks wireless broadband communication access points, both mobile and fixed broadband systems.
The BATS System will automatically locate, establish a wireless broadband network connection, continuously optimize for maximum throughput, track mobile
client devices (or access points) while maintaining a wireless broadband connection.
It will automatically reposition the directional broadband antenna mounted on a vessel, terrestrial vehicle/structure, or aircraft to maintain a wireless broadband network session. It does not use a global positioning system (GPS) or coordinates.
"We've really taken wireless broadband to a whole new level because we can optimize a connection even if one or both of the systems are moving," stated Lonnie Bentley, one of three Purdue University (
News -
Alert) professors and researchers who founded BATS. "Additionally, time and resources are saved because manual adjusting or resetting is not required."
BATS antenna system consists of servo positioning units integrated, predictive search and tracking algorithms integrated with any wireless broadband system.
Bob Peterson, BATS chief executive officer, says that the company’s technology has successfully supported and enhanced communications networks that utilize many of the global wireless broadband manufacturer's equipment.
"Our software integration, along with the performance characteristics of the directional antenna, proprietary search pattern and predictive algorithms automatically locate, optimize and track a desired connection point," adds Peterson.
Benefits of BATS' antenna technology include, cost savings, reduced manual redirection, allows rapid deployment of a wireless network, allows access of data, voice and streaming video almost anywhere and provides continuous optimization.
