Dow Jones Description

From its creation in 1992 to its restructuring in 2006, Wi-LAN developed, manufactured and sold various wireless networks products and invented a number of cornerstone technologies for the general wireless industry. As part of supporting industry growth, Wi-LAN became a charter member of the WiMAX Forum, and chair company of the OFDM Forum. In 2002, Wi-LAN started working with WiMAX Forum members Nokia and Ensemble to define the next generation broadband wireless standard. This ultimately led to the creation of both 802.16 and the WiMAX standards: in fact, our patented W-OFDM technology lies at the core of the WiMAX standard. Wi-LAN was also active in IEEE 802.16 and ETSI HiperMAN development, helping to ensure that the WiMAX standard is internationally accepted as the best broadband wireless technology. In 2006, Wi-LAN transitioned its business to focus solely on its greatest asset, its patented inventions. The key technologies found in the patent portfolio apply to diverse areas of wireless and wireline communications, and have been incorporated into standards by many telecommunications organizations.
