Cohda Wireless
CohdaWireless Mobile-OFDM employs patent pending OFDM receiver architectures and algorithms to address limitations inherent in standards based systems in real-world scenarios. These are real issues that could potentially delay or cripple ambitious plans affecting major markets and vendors. In the first instance, several 802.11 variants are being proposed for outdoor, mobile use cases for which 802.11 was never intended and for which it is poorly suited.  802.11 is the wireless LAN standard. LAN means indoors. LAN means pedestrian speed. 802.11 was not designed to tolerate either the effects of mobility or multipath, and yet there are high hopes across multiple industries seeking to leverage an existing standard in unnatural ways. A Cohda-enabled receiver, for WiFi or WiMAX, makes these systems essentially impervious to the effects of mobility and multipath outdoors.
