We Have Come a Long Way

Recent history has taught us that there is a major paradigm change in the computer / communications industry just about every 10 years. From mainframes to minicomputers, PCs, networking, the Internet, the cell phone and now the smart phone.

A Changed World

Today, 55 percent of U.S. homes have high-speed Internet access, and new products and services are being introduced to exploit today's faster networks. In the meantime more than sixty percent of all Americans now own mobile phones, but most handsets are still limited by slow connection speeds. However, this too will soon change. Three of the four major U.S. carriers switched on high-speed 3G networks in 2005, and Wi-Fi hotspots continue to proliferate, with places like Philadelphia and San Francisco planning to create citywide Wi-Fi networks.

Ubiquitous Wireless Connection

We are connected in our offices, homes and cars. The next step is to be connected wherever we are. We are currently on the cusp of a dramatic transformation that will extend far beyond the mere ability to download e-mail, photos, music and web pages more quickly. Plentiful wireless bandwidth and new digital modulation schemes, coupled with more sophisticated mobile devices, will usher in a new generation of wireless tools, products and services.

Next Major Paradigm Change

Despite these major changes in the wireless environment, we believe the world of wireless communications hasn't really started yet. The world will be connected wirelessly with very high-speed data that allow us to connect virtually anywhere and the result will be changes to our lives that will be very dramatic. The wireless world will provide us the opportunity to connect to voice, Internet data, e-mail, music, live television streaming, anywhere with ease and mobility. We will be able to work anywhere wirelessly and with ease. Furthermore, all of this information is going to be available on a single, multipurpose device that can be configured for different purposes, or different feature sets for different occasions. Mobile devices will be the center of delivery for content and wireless communications. Ultimately, almost all information will be available wirelessly through portable devices. The demand for wireless bandwidth will be insatiable. To satisfy this demand we will have to achieve higher speeds and greater range in our wireless devices.

Bridgeway's Synergy Strategy

Bridgeway is working to  achieve a demonstrated performance improvement in range/throughput with our Smart Antenna Technology that is 2 to 4 times greater than conventional antennas. While this alone is a very significant accomplishment, Bridgeway's Distortion Modulation Technology will provide an expected performance improvement of 10 to 25+ times of the throughput of today's modems for wired and wireless transmission paths. Together, our Smart Antenna Technology and Distortion Modulation Technology will achieve synergistic performance improvements that will have a multiplier effect and will be unprecedented. We anticipate that the average increase in data throughput will be in the 20 X range. This synergistic effect will go a long ways to satisfying the user demand for very high speed wireless bandwidth and it will  help make the "Wireless Future" a reality.
