Endwave to Co-Host IWPC Conference for Emerging 60 and 70-90 GHz Communications Endwave Co-Hosting Technology and Business Development Workshop to Discuss Target Applications and Market Dynamics SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Endwave Corporation a leading provider of radio frequency (RF) subsystems for carrier-class cellular infrastructure, broadband wireless networks, and defense systems, will co-host an IWPC (International Wireless Packaging Consortium, http://www.iwpc.org/) conference from January 18-21st in San Jose, CA, entitled, "Emerging 60 and 70-90 GHz Gigabit Wireless Communications". The purpose of the conference is to bring together senior leaders across the entire wireless telecom supply chain to facilitate and stimulate breakthrough thinking on technologies and manufacturing processes that will enable this new application to flourish. The FCC has recently ruled to make available the 71-76 GHz and the 81-86 GHz bands (commonly referred to as "E-Band") for "GigaBit Wireless" communications systems at rates traditionally achieved only with fiber optics. Such systems, as well as those in the unlicensed 60 GHz band, will permit very high data rate communications for Internet and Intranet hub interconnectivity over business areas and campus environments without the need for the costly civil works associated with laying fiber. Endwave played a key role in shaping and then encouraging the adoption of the FCC rules on these millimeter-wave bands. Endwave will be sponsoring two presentations at the conference: Mr. Doug Lockie will provide a top-level view of the E-Band market drivers and potential applications, and Dr. Edward Stoneham will discuss core technology that Endwave is developing to satisfy the cost and performance challenges of operating at E-Band frequencies. Endwave is currently in the process of creating key hardware building blocks to satisfy the needs of this new millimeter-wave market, thereby creating the high-frequency transceiver standard for OEMs to utilize in their new E-Band radio solutions. Cisco is hosting the conference, and co-hosts along with Endwave include Motorola, IBM, Velocium, TriQuint, Infineon, United Monolithic Semiconductors, and Terabeam.
