Voyant International Corporation (OTCBB: VOYT), a diversified media
and technology holding company dedicated to improving the quality
of the digital world for businesses and consumers, commented today
on the November 4, 2008 ruling by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) to adopt rules for unlicensed use of television
white spaces. One of the company's business units is Voyant
Wireless, which produces next-generation radios by leveraging the
company's considerable portfolio of wireless intellectual property
and know-how in that field.
Voyant joined other companies like Google, Motorola, Dell, and
Hewlett-Packard in cheering the unanimous decision by the FCC to
open access to the white space spectrum for innovative new uses on
a non-interfering, unlicensed basis. Voyant believes that the FCC
has adopted prudent measures to protect existing, licensed users of
this spectrum while still driving new, market-creating
businesses.
Among a host of other applications, Voyant expects the FCC's
ruling to enable services that include:
-- Broad-coverage, cost-effective Wi-Fi replacement for metropolitan
Internet access (the so-called "Wi-Fi on steroids")
-- Cost-effective rural and alternative Internet access
-- A new generation of mobile device on-line connectivity
-- Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
-- Remote video surveillance
Under a previously announced $2 million contract, Voyant has
already been developing radios capable of operation in the UHF and
VHF white space region, as well as in the lower and upper 700 MHz
licensed and 900 MHz unlicensed bands.
"This FCC ruling validates our decision to develop
next-generation radios in this spectral region," said Ed Gerhardt,
Voyant's general manager of wireless systems. "We can now leverage
the development we've already performed and use it to address what
we expect will be an enormous new WSR market. Also, we enjoy a head
start in manufacturing because we can leverage our production
volumes to begin driving costs down very quickly. This should allow
Voyant to quickly achieve the low cost points that will truly drive
mass-market adoption of WSR-enabled applications."
