Broadband-in-Gas (BiG) provides
twice the connectivity of fiber-optics at essentially the same installed cost
per customer as DSL (about a tenth of the installed cost per customer for fiber
to the home). Due to the gas pipelines containing an isolated, unregulated
spectrum without any interference, wireless UWB signals travel inside the pipes
from the local area node to the end-user through the underground pipeline
pathway formed by the nature of the Ultra Wideband transmission format.
Nethercomm’s technology creates a primary pathway through natural gas
distribution infrastructures and can carry enormous amounts of data by simply
making use of the entire spectrum buried within the existing natural gas
pipelines.
Nethercomm's Broadband-in-Gas technology delivers
connectivity over the last-mile of broadband networks without interference or
degradation of other wireless transmissions. By not consuming or sharing costly
spectrum, and not requiring installation of last mile cable or fiber, Nethercomm
is prepared to make broadband substantially more affordable while increasing
end-user bandwidth to unprecedented levels.
Nethercomm is a private
Delaware Corporation, based in Southern California, developing innovative and
proprietary communication technologies for the fast-growing broadband and
wireless markets. The company’s portfolio of patents encompasses what is
believed to be the fundamental subterranean broadband communications.
