An enhanced forward error correction (FEC) code is said to improve the speed of data communications and multimedia applications. In addition, these Vector-Low-Density Parity-Check (V-LDPC) codes reportedly decrease power consumption and increase transmission distance for wireless, storage and optical applications. Compared with advanced industry standard Turbo codes, the company's programmable V-LDPC codes are said to offer four-times higher throughput for the same hardware complexity, four times lower hardware complexity at comparable throughput, and far lower error floors. Vector-LDPC codes are incorporated within the company's flash-OFDM modem chipsets and mobile communication system for always-on, mobile broadband connectivity. The flash-OFDM mobile broadband system is a packet-switched radio access network that seamlessly transports IP services over-the-air from an IP network to a user device. Any laptop, PDA or other standard device can go wireless by simply plugging in a flash-OFDM PCMCIA card. For more information on how to license V-LDPC codes, contact FLARION TECHNOLOGIES, Bedminster, NJ. (908) 947-7000.
