Voyant International Corporation (OTCBB: VOYT) recently announced that they have entered the high-growth wireless communications market and received a $2 million contract for the development and production of the first 3,000 White Space Radios (WSR’s). The WSR program is part of the company’s strategy to combine existing and new technologies with the company’s substantial portfolio of intellectual property and domain knowledge in order to address large and emerging applications in the wireless sector.
The Voyant WSR is an advanced broadband radio that utilizes the spectral white space that will soon be made available by the FCC. The white space spectrum is comprised of more than 200 MHz of valuable bandwidth in the VHF/UHF band. The frequencies are able to support long-range, high-capacity wireless communications, which allows them to be extremely useful for innovative new services, including all WiFi 2.0 applications. Over the coming years, Voyant plans to design and deliver 3,000 WSRs per the terms of the agreement. The company’s customers will be able to use the radios for different applications, including energy efficiency modulation, and utility and power management.
Ed Gerhardt, Voyant’s GM of wireless systems, stated, “The white space spectrum represents a new frontier for innovation in wireless communications, and this program establishes Voyant as a pioneer and leader in the WSR field. Our technological skill set, intellectual property and experience in wireless systems make Voyant particularly well-suited to undertake this challenging and exciting project and open the door to a host of exciting new applications and markets.”
