MagnaComs WAM (WAve Modulation) is a Modulation Technology aimed at substituting QAM, which is present in cellular, Wi-Fi, fiber and wire-line broadband connections. MagnaCom claims WAM can gain 10 decibel on a signal, 400% in the range of Wi-Fi and a lower power consumption of 50%.[2][3][4] This is achieved by a more efficient modulation scheme, carrying more info on the same space, improving speeds.[5] These innovations are aimed towards a better connectivity on 5G cellular networks.[6]
