Silvus Technologies Awarded DARPA Sub-Contract for Design of Radio Nodes for Future Communication Networks

LOS ANGELES, February 19, 2008 — Silvus Technologies, a leading wireless design services provider and commercial supplier of Intellectual Property (IP) cores for complex wireless applications, has been awarded a research and development sub-contract under the Wireless Adaptable Network Node (WANN) program sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) in conjunction with the prime contractor, Honeywell. Silvus Technologies will leverage its expertise in multi antenna MIMO (multi input multi output) wireless communications to design a highly versatile radio communications node that will enable future networked communications in urban areas and across a widely distributed battle space for U.S. military forces. The phase-one contract is valued at approximately $1 million and the Air Force Research Laboratory is the contracting agency for DARPA's Strategic Technology Office.

The WANN program will combine wireless communication and networking technologies along with commercial off-the-shelf products to develop a low-cost, radio-node that will enable the military's next generation of intelligent, rapidly deployable, distributed communication networks. WANN is part of DARPA's "Wireless Network after Next" program to provide military forces with reliable and highly available battlefield communications.

"The technology for this radio-node will be a highly integrated solution combining advanced wireless technologies," said Babak Daneshrad, chairman, president and CEO of Silvus Technologies. "This program is a launching vehicle to develop tomorrow's real world broadband wireless technologies, and we are excited to leverage our industry experience to create such advanced wireless solutions."
