Optical Antenna Solutions (OAS) is to launch a revolutionary optical device that will help reduce the massive global problem of credit card fraud.
Top power for novel optical antenna design
Exhaustive tests by scientists at Warwick University have confirmed that a revolutionary optical antenna developed on site is three times more powerful than any similar technology in the world today.
OAS revealed its optical antenna - a device with multiple applications across several industry sectors - last November and companies from Europe, the USA and Asia are now looking to introduce it into a range of products and applications.
The antenna was developed at the university to enhance the performance and capabilities of any device using infra-red systems - such as mobile telephones interacting with lap top computers for example.
The antenna's unique ability to capture high levels of transmitted optical information - signals being carried by light - has created a world lead product three times more powerful than anything else in market today.
Moving to Coventry will mean that OAS can now work directly alongside its scientific team at Warwick University and improve its capability to respond to enquiries.
"The optical antenna is a significant world technological breakthrough and we are determined to fully exploit its potential", said Alex Clarke, Head of Marketing at OAS.
"In order to do this, we felt we needed to be on the doorstep of our own research and development.
This will give us faster decision-making, enhance the enormous team spirit we have and also make it much easier for international delegations to see the full extent of what we have here".
Uses for the antenna are almost unlimited where wireless communication is required.
At the November launch, OAS focused on how the antenna's adoption into mobile telephones and PDAs could dramatically bring forward "point-and-pay" systems, which would be more secure and reduce paperwork.
Trials of the antenna in "point-and-pay" usage are already underway in Korea and further trials are planned for Japan and the UK.
OAS is a board member of IrDA, the world's infra-red standards body.
Infra-red technology is used in mobile phones, PDAs, portable computers and printers but previously range and data capacity was limited.
The antenna has an unparalleled capability to enhance all these applications and more.
