Motorola plans to buy Orthogon Systems, which specializes in wireless broadband technology, for an undisclosed amount.
Motorola said Monday that it will use the Orthogon technology to enhance its own wireless broadband portfolio of products, which it sells under the name Motowi4. Motorola is an investor in the company and has been reselling Orthogon equipment since 2004.
Orthogon has developed wireless radios and receivers for point-to-point wireless connections. The company's technology is unique because it uses special space-time coding to build nonfading radios in the 5.8GHz spectrum. This means the radios can be used without requiring a direct line of site between the radio and the receiver.
