  InterDigital Inc. has announced its collaboration with Ittiam Systems Private Limited. Together, the companies have developed a system to extend Wi-Fi technology into TV White Space (TVWS) and other underutilized frequency bands. Integrated Dynamic Spectrum Management technology harvests TVWS and other available frequency channels to increase the data throughput of Wi-Fi devices, addressing the congestion of heavily-used unlicensed bands and the ever-growing demand for wireless bandwidth. The system will be featured at the upcoming Mobile World Congress 2012 in Barcelona, February 27 through March 1, 2012.

Ravishankar Ganesan, VP & Head - SOC IP Business Unit, Ittiam said, "It is an honor for Ittiam to be associated with co-creating advanced Wi-Fi solutions with a wireless technology leader like InterDigital. Ittiam invested in the Wi-Fi Silicon IP over a decade ago with full understanding that all consumer devices will one day get to the 'always connected' mode using Wi-Fi. Embedded into the end products of our SOC and system customers, Ittiam IP has already shipped in tens of millions of units." 

James J. Nolan, Executive VP, Research & Development, InterDigital said, "Intelligent harvesting of under-utilized spectrum is a key approach towards solving the bandwidth crunch in wireless networks. InterDigital has led the way in this space, developing a complete system solution that enables legacy Wi-Fi systems to leverage underused frequency bands. Ittiam's Wi-Fi technology, extended to operate and aggregate channels in TV White Space bands, is an important component of our solution."
