Nethercomm Launches Plan to Provide Video, Phone and Data Using Broadband-in-Gas and Introducing New Opportunity for Common Public Utilities and Broadband Monopolists
Nethercomm Corporation, the leading innovator and pioneer of subterranean broadband communications is developing the next generation of broadband delivery services through the existing Natural Gas Distribution infrastructure combined with a Broadband Provider of today who is ready to take Broadband to the next level, into the future, creating a primary vehicle, the only economic vehicle for broadband delivery using the gas industry public utility.
(PRWEB) May 21, 2005 -- Broadband-in-Gas, using radar type signals, is transmitted through" the natural gas distribution infrastructure, not only creating a new primary pathway for broadband delivery of content and services but enabling a previously unobtainable level of connectivity", a delivery method and connectivity unmatched today:
- Broadband-in-Gas, (making use of the full spectrum without FCC restrictions of power or external noise) end-users of BiG can expect to receive up to 100+ Mbps
- Fiber-to-the-Home, end-users receive 19.2 Mbps
- DSL, end-users receive 1.0 Mbps
- Cable, end-user receive 1.5 Mbps
The founders of Nethercomm believe Broadband-in-Gas will become as essential as electricity was at the turn of the century. These beliefs led Nethercomm to invent and develop its rights to the technical foundations which encompass Broadband-in-Gas (BiG) technologies. Nethercomms patent portfolio contains the wide-ranging foundations of subterranean broadband communication systems, methods and apparatuses all operating simultaneously within the boundaries of Natural Gas Delivery. Broadband-in-Gas, coexisting with the delivery of Natural Gas, represents an opportunity to leverage the existing unutilized gas pipeline infrastructure to enable broadband to truly immerge in the world of tomorrow providing services and content using this revolutionary technology. This unique technology represents a significant opportunity to leverage the existing unutilized gas pipeline infrastructure to enable the abundance of broadband for everyone, not just the privileged" said Dr. Patrick Nunally, Chairman and CEO of Nethercomm.
Nethercomms Chairman is not only the inventor of Broadband-in-Gas technology but is also recognized as one of the United States most prolific inventors. With over 150 patents worldwide, Dr. Nunally has been honored as an IEEE/IAE fellow, recognized as Americas Outstanding Young Engineer of 1993 by the Eta Kappa Nu engineering honor society and has received a formal recognition by President Bill Clinton for his efforts in furthering the United States technology base.
Broadband-in-Gas will allow every end-user to harness the benefits of this extraordinary technology, and achieve maximum efficiency for all of their communication needs. Broadband-in-Gas is designed to contribute to economic and social progress of each and every community by raising living standards, reducing economic inequality, reducing barriers for end-users by reducing the cost of broadband services while increasing the capabilities and types services which everyone can count on.
The Information Age is upon us. Access to vast quantities of information is changing the way many people work, entertain themselves and communicate with each other. Wireless methods employed today are constrained by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) either in power or spectral licensing costs. Nethercomms ambitions are relatively simple, we want information to be as assessable as any other utility and it is our intent to provide new opportunities for Public Utilities Commissions, municipalities and local utility providers to deploy broadband video, phone and data services to all of their customers. Nethercomms Broadband-in-Gas technology is not only a means of providing broadband affordability in low-resource communities but can deliver reliable, fast and expanded communication services and content to all end-users and directly addresses the inequities that exist in broadband delivery today.
Broadband, in a large-scale sense, has hit a roadblock. For example, delivery of high speed internet, using current technology is restricted due to the need for more bandwidth as evidenced by user complaints of slow Internet access and dropped data links, to name a few, which are symptomatic of network overload. Current broadband delivery suffers from performance limitations caused by signal interference, ambient noise, and spurious noise. In todays conventional broadband delivery, these limitations affect the available bandwidth, distance, and carrying capacity of the communication system or network, due to the noise floor and signal interference in the piped media.
Nethercomm plans to collaborate with a key broadband industry leader as well as the natural gas industry and together we can promote our offerings to communities far and wide -- not to mention putting a halt on the broadband providers monopoly game. In developing our business through the support of broadband providers and the gas distribution industry, we can jointly develop todays communications business providing content and services at an exceptional value to millions of customers country-wide -- not just the upper-class end users.
Enter Broadband-in-Gas, a significantly more efficient system and method of providing broadband communications services which does not require costly routing of copper or fiber optic connections across the last-mile" of communications nor requires the use of wireless spectrum transmissions which are seriously constrained by regulatory limitations. BiGs wireless UWB communications comprise the transmission format of the data signal, such that the signal can be provided at a profoundly high power level while not generating substantial heat, and therefore not igniting the natural gas within the gas pipeline distribution network. More importantly, the UWB communications will not radiate enough spectral energy to interfere with FCC requirements, and augmented by the fact that gas pine lines generally must be buried to a given depth within most communities and are inherently shielded by ground. Broadband-in-Gas employs a "carrier free" architecture which does not require the use of high frequency carrier generation hardware, carrier modulation hardware, stabilizers, frequency and phase discrimination hardware or other devices employed in conventional frequency domain communication systems. Specifically, the technology provides a method of transmitting broadband communications by inserting ultra-wideband signals through a local underground natural gas distribution network infrastructure. The ultra-wideband signal is transmitted simultaneously with traditional natural gas delivery whereby a UWB signal can bear any combination of Internet, video, television, HDTV, voice or other transmission. Because the ultra-wideband signal can be transmitted simultaneously through existing metal plastic, steel, iron, rigid, flexible, valved, metered or plastic piping, the overall capability of the system to deliver value without requiring costly last-mile deployments and without interfering with licensed and unlicensed spectrums.
