Rim Semiconductor Company, a developer of technology for telecommunications service providers, has filed a non-provisional patent application for its RQAM technology.

 

Based on the RQAM technology, Rim Semi’s Cupria transport processor can drive data traffic at more than 40 megabits per second (Mbps), 5,500 feet on 26AWG telephone wire. Such speed in data transmissions is in high demand and the granting of this patent should help to put this technology where the customer needs it.

Existing technologies are currently able to drive data 15 Mbps at this distance on this type of wire. Telephone companies, municipalities and businesses can use Cupria for service such as IPTV, Ethernet and monitoring. Such implementations will deliver a better user experience for the customer and will drive demand for providers.

 

Entitled, “Amplitude Modulation Decoder,” the patent was filed as a non-provisional patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. It was also filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty, in which most of the world’s industrialized countries participate. As such, Rim Semi’s intellectual property rights are protected across a wide geography.

Rim Semiconductor Company owns, co-owns or exclusively licenses technology from seventeen issued patents and eleven patent applications in the United States, all of which generally pertain to methodologies to modify data and transmit it more efficiently on metallic media like copper wire.

 

RQAM can be combined with many of them to produce superior semiconductor performance. Considering the demand for quality and speed of delivery that consumers are creating, service providers will not only benefit from RQAM, they will also find themselves in competitive situations where operating without the technology may make them obsolete.

RIM focuses on the development of technologies for telecommunications companies to deliver demanding new video and data services with lower network costs. The company delivers products that allow data to be transmitted at greater speed and across extended distances over existing copper wire.

The company also ensures that all transmissions are done with the highest quality of service to deliver a better end-user experience. Without such a focus, the service provider would not be able to compete effectively in an industry where price is no longer a competitive driver and quality of service can make or break a deal.

As a result, Rim Semi should be able to benefit significantly from this patent as it will work to create a new standard in data transmission, as well as the quality in which it is delivered. In doing so, the company will drive its own demand and adoption.
