IEEE802.15.4 - a Route to Remarkable Precision, Functionality and Affordability

DecaWave is a pioneering fabless semiconductor company which has developed a complete, single chip CMOS ultra wideband IC based on the IEEE802.15.4a standard, and building a family of parts to work at rates 110kbps, 850kbps, 6.8Mbps and 27Mbps. DecaWave has identified the rich potential of ultra wideband (UWB) technology, with particular focus on real time location systems (RTLS), and ultra-low power wireless transceivers, and has been instrumental in developing the alternate PHY IEEE802.15.4a standard, for which it holds key intellectual property and numerous essential and non-essential patents. DecaWave is currently working with a number of partner firms to develop and bring to market suitable applications for the RTLS and ultra-low power wireless transceiver marketplaces using its UWB technology, principally in the areas of manufacturing, healthcare, lighting, security, transport, inventory & supply chain management. Because it believes the opportunities inherent in IEEE802.15.4a to be so numerous, DecaWave is willing to share - under contract - critical core intellectual property with prospective, suitably qualified and resourced partner firms wishing to develop further markets for this technology. DecaWave was founded in 2004, and is headquartered in Dublin Ireland. DecaWave is privately funded.
