Oct. 17, 2006 — Lumera Corp. of Bothell, Wash., a developer of products for the bioscience and communications/computing industries using proprietary molecular structures and polymer compounds, announced it has completed successful testing of its millimeter wave wireless bridge. The bridge is intended to enable government and commercial entities to transmit vast amounts of data via a variety of high speed telecommunications networks.

The test included transmitting 10 Gbps at 94 GHz, through the use of Gigabit Ethernet and other standard protocols. The single band wireless communications system completes the first phase of Lumera’s product development. In mid-November, Lumera expects to finalize the development and testing of its multiband, high-data-rate, adaptive millimeter-wave wireless communication system.

“Based on these internal results, we are confident that the third party tests to be conducted next month on the multiband system will be equally positive,” said Raluca Dinu, director of Lumera’s electro-optics business unit, in a prepared statement. “We’ve already begun discussions with prospective customers who have expressed interest in the fully functional commercial product.”
