New Directions For a New World of Wireless.

Innovation is the engine of freedom, and nowhere is this more true than in the world of wireless connectivity. The information revolution, which has liberated us from our traditional limitations of knowledge and distance, is today liberating itself from the confines of fiber and cable. Speed and access have joined with a new partner. Mobility.

Novatics is wholly devoted to the development and integration of new technologies aimed at radically advancing the state of the art in the wireless industry. Through its groundbreaking research programs, Novatics has achieved previously unimaginable capabilities, which are already opening up entirely new avenues of possibility for the most ambitious applications of the coming decade.

Current Research Focus:

Advanced EM Behavior Dynamics

Photonics science is at the core of modern telecommunications. From the infrared wavelengths streaming over fiber optic backbones to the microwaves radiating from cell sites, a strong familiarity with the behavior of electromagnetic emissions in complex environments is of critical importance to network design. Recently, however, an even more complete understanding of RF propagation in urbanized environments has become of paramount importance to the necessary evolution of 3G and 4G networks. This is why Novatics is taking the lead in creating new ways to investigate and predict the infinitely complex behavioral dynamics of microwave radiation in cities. Through clean-sheet development of new technology, Novatics has supplanted decades old design techniques, while setting the foundations for an entirely new class of high performance urban network.

Next-Generation Air Interface Simulation

Just as fiber optic cable forms the backbone of today's most advanced wireline networks, the Air Interface Medium is the true foundation of the wireless network. However, for modern wireless systems, aggressively expanding user bandwidth and overall capacity is far more challenging than simply adding cable. Rather, mobile networks must manipulate their resources with surgical precision, while engineering in highly complex and unpredictable coverage environments. This is why Novatics is pioneering next-generation Air Interface Simulation technologies that are fast making wireless networks perform like their wireline counterparts. Through our efforts, engineers will soon develop and retrofit networks with an ease of scalability never before imagined in wireless.

Ultra-Massively Parallel Supercomputing

Novatics research is helping wireless networks enter a new era of expansion, where exponential extensions of capacity and reliability are achieved through precision control of the once chaotic and unpredictable wireless medium. Therefore, our development program has focused on creating a new class of supercomputing systems and applications that merge the competing requirements of high teraflop speed with need-based scalability and overall cost-effectiveness. Formed around new platforms that mix the latest ideas in both distributed and ultra massively parallel architectures, Novatics is creating a new generation of supercomputer capability for the wireless industry.

Next-Generation Visualization Technology

As Novatics moves forward to radically advance the sophistication of wireless network development technology, we must also take steps to ensure that those who manage that development can remain in control. For this reason, Novatics is working to develop next-generation technologies that permit network operators and designers to take full advantage of their greatly expanded insight into the Air Interface Medium. Thus, our groundbreaking new visualization technologies allow engineers to experience and manipulate their networks in ways that were previously inconceivable.
