Tzero Technologies is the leader in ultra wideband (UWB) for high-definition video applications. The company’s chipset serves as the foundation for a range of products – HDTVs, DVD players, set-top boxes, game systems, and other multimedia equipment – allowing them to interchange entertainment content wirelessly.

Tzero used OPNET Modeler’s open environment to model its TZ7000 UWB chipset and evaluate vendor-specific algorithms such as data rate adaptation, retransmission policies, reservation optimization, peer-to-peer device synchronization, and the company’s proprietary Ultra-MIMO technology. The design was validated by creating realistic implementations of the architecture in virtual devices, using multiple channel models including AWGN, multi-path line-of- sight, and highly scattered non-line-of-sight. Modeler was then used to test and debug the production firmware.

“OPNET Modeler is the ideal solution for creating realistic models of our UWB chipset architecture with high fidelity, allowing us to deliver dependable solutions to our customers.”
