ArrayComm, a start-up based in San Jose, California, demonstrated for the first time seamless handoffs between base stations in its i-BURST broadband wireless system. The i-BURST system’s handoffs between base station coverage areas provide consumers with continuous video streaming, file transfer, e-mail and other standard Internet applications while walking, driving or stationary. A pre-commercial deployment of the system is currently underway in Sydney, Australia, where 12 base stations covering 150 square kilometers will be tested.

- ArrayComm’s i-BURST technology uses spatial processing software to significantly increase radio spectrum efficiency. The technology uses adaptive smart antennas to deliver data rates of up to 40 Mbps per cell, which could be shared between many simultaneous users at user data rates in excess of 1 Mbps in a fully loaded system.
