At Vecima Networks, we design, manufacture and sell products that enable broadband access to cable, wireless and telephony networks. Our hardware products incorporate embedded software developed by us to meet the complex requirements of next-generation, high-speed digital networks. Service providers use our solutions to deliver services to a converging worldwide broadband market, including what are commonly known as "triple play" (voice, video and data) and "quadruple play" (voice, video, data and wireless) services. Our solutions allow service providers to rapidly and cost-effectively bridge the final network segment that connects a system directly to end-users, commonly referred to as "the last mile", by overcoming the bottleneck resulting from insufficient carrying capacity in legacy last-mile infrastructures.
Our core expertise is radio frequency (RF) technology. Our products incorporate sophisticated software developed by us that is used for very high-speed digital signal processing, control and compensation functions in RF circuits and for implementation of high-level digital modulation. Our embedded software also facilitates the implementation of other network functions, such as media access control (MAC) and embedded system management, which are required by emerging broadband wireless standards like WiMAX.
Vecima's products are directed at two principal markets: Converged Wired Solutions (Broadband "Wired") and Broadband Wireless. Our Data over Cable products include a family of upconverters and modulators that process data from routers and convert it to higher frequencies for transmission over cable to subscribers. Our Broadband Wireless products include transmitters and transceivers that process data from routers, switches and modems and transmit it to subscribers over wireless infrastructure. Our Digital Video products include gigabit rate network edge devices, modulators, modulator/upconverter modules and transmodulators that accept very high bit rate video streams from central servers and transmit them to subscribers. We have also developed and continue to focus on developing products to address emerging markets, such as voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), fiber to the home (FTTH) and IP video.
