Cost-effective forward error correction
Advanced Hardware Architectures (AHA) has developed what it claims is the most cost effective forward error correction (FEC) integrated circuit ever produced.
Compressor speeds image transfers
The AHA3431A-066 PQC compressor/decompressor IC is the latest addition to the StarLite family from Comtech AHA Corp.
Comtech AHA Corp (CAC) provides advanced forward error correction and lossless data compression ASICs and IP cores for communications systems.
CAC is a provider of Turbo Product Coding (TPC) error correction technology in the form of stand alone ASICs and IP cores that are compliant with the IEEE802.16a optional FEC mode The use of TPC's can provide significant coding gain beyond that of the default Reed-Solomon Viterbi error correction.
This coding gain offers an opportunity to significantly reduce the transmit power required of portable or battery operated client stations, extending battery life without performance degradation.
It also can allow greater transmission distances than can be supported by most other error correction methods.
"Over the past several years Comtech AHA has been actively involved in the IEEE802.16a standards process for broadband wireless access.
Today we are excited to join the team helping with WiMAX certification", emphasised Bill Thomson, President of Comtech AHA Corp.
"We believe that the exploding demand for broadband wireless connectivity can best be addressed by systems built around the IEEE802.16a standard and certified by the WiMAX organisation".
