The communication industry has seen unsurpassed technological evolutions in the last two decades, and has witnessed the introductions of unprecedented means to deliver voice, data, and entertainment services to consumers. Although technology continues to play a crucial role in changing the dynamics of this industry, such technology is quickly made available for anyone to take advantage of in terms of manufacturing as technology immediately represents itself in the form of chipsets and modules.
For this basic reason, in the area of manufacturing of hardware, main focus should be placed more on conception rather than execution. The world has seen more of a dichotomy between the maker and the marketer, and this division of labor in a broader scale as compared to that in the world industrialization has ensued the constant emergence of many small outfits with superb ideas and concepts and enabled them to position in various competitive industries swiftly including the communication industry that Waxess poses to debut.
The technology evolution and selection process is also going to converge not just the diverse services into one hardware but many players in the different fields of technologies and service industries into one common hardware platform. More than any hard wire distribution, wireless distribution of services has always been the most cost effective and easiest to deploy and the wireless technology has basically become the predominant media of distribution of choice for anyone.
The name of the company, Waxess, stemmed out of “Wireless Access” with our inner desire to be a “Worldwide Success” in what we aim to do, and our initial concept merges the voice and data services of two different, main services of communication for both home and office.
There has been a blur in the delineation of territories for services from various service providers. Cable companies have poised to offer from its infrastructure of cable access to each home a home telephone service , and bundling its original entertainment service that has yielded a blow to the movie theater industries as well as video stores, and telephone carriers who were prevented from providing video/entertainment service to protect then the infant industry of cable companies are now providing video/entertainment services on top of its high speed internet access service as well as conventional home communication service and competing head to head with the cable operators. Now wireless carriers with its low cost infrastructure per subscriber have surpassed the landline carriers in terms of subscriber population and they are now, with its new 4G technology, threatening both cable operators and landline carriers for future migration of voice/data/entertainment/security services all in one bundled service. Cable companies and landline carriers have no choice but capitalize on the wireless broadband services/infrastructure to keep up with the mega waves of migration. Satellite operators were good enough to take cable companies entertainment subscribers, but have not been effective in terms of offering low cost access to broadband and voice communication as it requires a voice and data up-link, and it is not technologically easy and cost effective to be implemented for home DBS devices and they will also have to find arrangements to vie for the position in the bundled services for home and office in the future or their demise or integration into something bigger is destined.
Waxess’ aim is to provide a uniquely designed and politically well-positioned product for carriers of any background as described above to service consumers with an easy and well-orchestrated access method for many new emerging services at their home and office environment. With the 4Billon+ mobile subscribers worldwide and 4 more billions expected to add in the next decade, the precipitation of ownership and thus identity to individual user has dethroned the home identity or group identity, but with the more and more services to be converged on the hardware and more robust data poised service to follow, there will be a return of justification and practicality to a home centric and office centric device as wireless technology becomes more core media for various services including home security, common data access, entertainment for the family, communication for the common work place.
We also aim to provide a rapid and economical deployment of both voice and data services to underserved areas of the world where there is not an adequate infrastructure of communication and make the communication osmosis without the social, cultural and territorial membrane.
We are devoted to meet the needs of expected applications and provide the concept of adaptability in our hardware offering. Our next generation Port-A-Bell 1500 and the Home Gateway MAT1000 will prove to be useful implementation of our concept of worldwide communication osmosis.
