New Gas Plasma Antenna Technology Has Applications In Secure WiFi Data Transmission
by Anonymous

RIDGEFIELD, CT April 23, 2004 -- Low Cost Highly Directive and Steerable WiFi Antennas Can be Created Utilizing Solid State Plasma Sources. Markland Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: MRKL- http://www.marklandtech.com), an integrated homeland security company, announced today that its gas plasma technology can be utilized to create secure WiFi data transmission capability for use in business and military applications. WiFi has enabled a wide array of inexpensive communication devices that are utilized in desk-top computing, networking, PDA's etc. Its biggest drawback is data transmission security. Although manufacturers are working to make interception of WiFi data transmitted via the airways more difficult they have encountered obstacles to solving the problem.

The company believes that one approach to create secure WiFi networks is to incorporate gas plasma transmission antennas within a wireless network environment. Gas plasma antenna technology would allow for highly directive and electronically steerable digital data transmission. This can be potentially achieved via low cost solid-state semi conductor based plasma generators. Because the gas plasma can be rapidly enabled and disabled in less then 1 microsecond time it can be repositioned to point in any required direction or can scan at very high speed. Not only can a plasma antenna reposition itself at very high speed but it can also change its beamwidth and bandwidth as well thus creating spatial and spectral security features which are not presently available with conventional WiFi antenna technology. Markland's significant patent portfolio of innovative gas plasma antenna technology can potentially create a new model for secure WiFi data transmission.

Markland CEO Robert Tarini stated, "We believe that our research staff has created a new approach towards WiFi data transmission that will enable the industry to provide very cost effective secure WiFi products. Our business model is to create a patent royalty revenue flow for this technology commercialization opportunity in the WiFi marketplace. This marketplace is presently estimated at $4 billion per year and growing rapidly."
