Technology · ASX

We don't beat physics. ASX just uses what other radios leave on the table.

Physics caps how much data a channel can carry. Most conventional systems stop well short of that cap. ASX closes the gap in software, on the radios you already field.

The trade

Computing is the lever. Spectrum and power are the limits.

You can add computing. You can't make more spectrum, and often you can't radiate more power. ASX leverages advanced signal processing to get more from the same channel, or the same result with less power, spending the resource you can scale to save the ones you can't.

How it wins

More data usually means more spectrum. ASX gets it in the same channel.

The usual way to move more data is to take more spectrum. That means a bigger signal to detect and harder frequency planning. ASX gets its gain in the same bandwidth already used, and it's measured against the best current waveform, not a decades-old one.

The benchmark
Barrett 4050 / MIL-STD-188-110Bthe reference radio and waveformGroundwave HFthe mode we've validatedBER ≤ 10⁻⁵fewer than 1 error in 100,000 bits
THE TRADE SPACEup to 5 dB less powerup to 2.4× throughputTHROUGHPUT →POWER SAVED ↑
The gain is one budget. Spend it on throughput, on transmit power, or any blend along the curve.
2.4×
More throughput in the same channel
Currently 2.4×, and a trade space with the power figure: not cumulative, but the gain can be spent on throughput, on power, or a blend. Measured against a Barrett 4050 running MIL-STD-188-110B, groundwave HF, hardware-in-the-loop plus over-the-air.
3–5 dB
Less transmit power for equivalent performance
Roughly half to two-thirds less transmit power (3 dB about half, 5 dB about a third). Same benchmark and conditions. Skywave validation is in progress and not yet quoted.
