Sotelkom Labs is developing a new type of multiplexer for multiservice access platforms based on an original dynamic time division multiplexing technique. It is seeking $1.3 million in equity investment and has a $1 million Skolkovo grant application pending. The multiplexer prototype is planned for completion in 2013. Sotelkom Labs is a 100% subsidiary of Sotelkom in Moscow, focusing on technologies for data aggregation and multiplexing using nature-inspired and quantum algorithms.
