iBurst provides you with continued high-speed connectivity for your corporate or
personal needs, through broadband internet and email services.
Within the area of the base station closest to you, you can maintain this connection
in an always-on mode. You no longer need to wait until you get to a place which
provides connectivity.
As the services on the Internet expand to include all aspects of life, many are
only at their full potential if they’re available as soon as your need arises.
Because you can access information at any time with iBurst, you are always in-touch
with instant access to email and the internet.

Access
Wide area wireless access means that access is available
wherever the user needs it. There is no need for the user to seek out a location
or wait until they go to somewhere with connectivity to do what they want to do.
Speed
High speed Internet access. Users can recover time that
would normally have been spent waiting for data to transfer. This could either be
used to get more work done or gain more leisure time.
Availability
Always on connectivity. Secure and immediate access to
the Internet and corporate services "wherever you are, whenever you want".
Simplicity
The service is fully compatible with existing laptops,
PDAs and desktop computers - no upgrades or new devices required. The user can be
confident that installation will be easy, quick and not harm their computer systems.
Intellicell
iBurst services are based on IntelliCell technology from
ArrayComm in the US. They maintain extreme levels of efficiency, using available
radio frequencies. Through advanced algorithms, IntelliCell’s adaptive antenna technology
adjusts signal patterns to and from each subscriber, creating a ’personal cell’
for efficient delivery of voice or data services. These personal cells follow people
as they move, reducing radio interference.
Base stations
With IntelliCell, each base station uses a small array
of off-the-shelf antennas, coupled with ArrayComm’s sophisticated signal processing
techniques. This dynamically controls radio signals between the base station and
you, the user.
Signals
The signal selectively amplifies each user’s intended
signal and rejects all unwanted signals, allowing more users to share the spectrum.
The result is a significant increase in capacity and coverage that leads to substantial
reductions in the costs for infrastructure deployment, network operations, system
maintenance and radio spectrum.
Transmitting energy
Conventional base stations, unlike IntelliCell base stations,
transmit energy in all directions. In this instance, only a small fraction of the
signal reaches the intended subscriber. The rest of the RF energy is wasted and
generates noise interfering with other users in the system. More recent techniques
of ’pointing’ a signal to the intended user are hampered by the abundance of physical
obstacles like buildings and trees that make transmission impossible.
iBurst
iBurst technology is a wide-area mobile broadband technology
offering a unique combination of high speed, wide range and high base station capacity.
It’s a pure IP, end-to-end system built on two primary components:
- base stations deployed by a network operator, like today’s cellular services,
- wireless modems or PC cards that customers use with existing Internet appliances,
such as a notebook
