Lucent wins $11.5M DARPA contract to demo MIMO
February 09 12:44:00, 2004

MURRAY HILL, N.J.—Lucent Technologies Inc. said it has won a $11.5 million
contract from U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to research,
develop and demonstrate a mobile communications system known as multiple input
and multiple output.

MIMO technology expands radio capacity and imbues the network with higher data
in non-line-of-sight environments like urban areas
and forested terrain. It also avoids detection and jamming by adversaries,
according to Lucent. Lucent’s product is called Packet
Blast.

“Once we’ve proven Packet Blast’s abilities in the field, we hope to apply this
work to other Department of Defense programs such as
Joint Tactical Radio System and Future Combat Systems,” said Mike Geller,
director of Bell Labs’ government communications
laboratory.
