CAPE RANGE ANNOUNCES GLOBAL LAUNCH OF WIRELESS PRODUCT AT
COMMUNICASIA2002
Cape Range Wireless Ltd. (CAG:ASX), a leader in wireless local loop telecommunications,
hasannounced the upcoming Global Launch of its innovative ARCADIAN Wireless
Communications System at CommunicAsia2002 in Singapore
Cape Range's ARCADIAN Wireless Communications System is a cost effective wireless
Traditionally these remote markets require prohibitively high initial investment. The
local loop solution to providetelephoneaccess to underserved and remoteareas.
ARCADIAN Communications System makes it viable for network operators to service remote
areas due to its scalable architecture. This means that operators can keep initial costs down
ARCADIAN Wireless Communications System's long range and high-speed capability also
by deploying networksincrementally and extendingcoverageas need arises. The
makes it an ideal system for extension into remote service areas or for overlay of superior
services for data transfer, fax and pbx in a voice-only network. It transmits over a range of
50km at a speed of 2Mbps while maintaining clear voice quality.
The ARCADIAN Wireless Communications System has two key proprietary innovations that
technology.
set it apart - theInternetProtocol Multiple Access (iPMA) protocol, andtheHavana
The iPMA protocol was specifically designed to support voice and high-speed data in the
fixed wireless environment. Its efficient voice handling guarantees that all voice information
enters the radio link in an orderly way without channel congestion. This frees bandwidth and
eliminates the need for throughput redundancies allocated to handle the probability of
transmit simultaneously independent of each other.This is unavailable over standard
multiple users transmitting simultaneously. Thus base andremote stations are able to
protocols.
Havana is a groundbreaking SpreadSpectrum technology that allows remote stations to
coveragearea of the ARCADIAN Wireless CommunicationsSystem. Havana enables
receive very low-level signals even at 50km. This is a compelling factor in extending the
multiple channels to occupy the same bandwidth without interfering with each other, thereby
increasing bandwidth utilisation. It also greatly lowers transmitting power consumption, thus
saving costs of power amplification.
Cape Range has invested in a strongbusiness presence in Malaysia through it5 local
status technologypartner,EmbeddedWireless Labs Sdn. Bhd., to develop thesystem,
subsidiary. Cape Range Wireless Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. It also worked closely with its MSC-
Consequently the entire product cycle from development, manufacturing and testing of the
system, was carried out in Malaysia. The product will be shipped-out from Malaysia to Cape
Range's distributors worldwide.
Cape Range believes that its technology will greatly benefit the Malaysian Government's
initiative to bridge the information divide, as articulated by the Prime Minister Data Seri Dr.
Mahathir bin Moharnad recently as the great divide belween those with access to information
and those without (Sscond Global Knowledge Conference in Kuala Lurnpur). Cape Range
seeks to address this imbalance and make available its innovative technology in the
emerging economies of the Asia-Pacific and the rest of the world in the coming months.
Cape Range has re-launched its websiteat www.caperanqewire1ess.com to target the
telecommunications industry as well as the more technically inclined audience.
