TECHNOLOGY OF AFBM
Xtendwave uses proprietary wavelet technology, AFBM, to provide incremental broadband coverage in two ways:
1) Extended reach to service previously untapped markets; and
2) Higher throughput over shorter distances for trunking and other industry applications.
Xtendwave’s intellectual property is protected by three awarded patents on the core technology with 17 utility patents and 14 provisional patents pending.
Xtendwave is the world leader in patented AFBM technology for DSL.

COMPANY
Xtendwave is committed to erasing the distance and speed limitations of current broadband technologies.
There’s no easy way to close the digital divide.
Today, there are more than 6 million U.S. wireline subscribers without broadband services.
Worldwide, there are more than 500 million existing wireline customers not served by DSL today.
Share in Xtendwave’s vision to eliminate distance and speed limitations and enable a new market for DSL equipment providers.

WHO BENEFITS
Carriers who serve a large rural population and remain outside the range of current DSL will benefit from Xtendwave’s technology.
Equipment providers can now sell a new generation of “extended reach DSL” because Xtendwaves’s solution is based upon algorithms integrated into DSL chipsets.
With Xtendwave’s solution there is no additional equipment, power or regeneration required.
