DecaWave is a pioneering Fabless Semiconductor Company which is developing a full family of single chip CMOS products based on the IEEE802.15.4a standard that reach unprecedented performance in location precision and range at very low power and very low cost.

 

DecaWave has been instrumental in developing the alternate PHY IEEE802.15.4a standard and has successively combined the rich potential of the Ultra Wideband Technology (UWB) with its Intellectual Property (DecaWave owns several essential and non-essential patents) to offer a product family that creates a true disruption in the Real-time Location Systems (RTLS) and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) markets.

 

In the last year DecaWave has received huge acceptance and strong market endorsement, establishing business relationships with 900 customers worldwide including major players and industry leaders, principally in the areas of healthcare, lighting, security and defence, transport, inventory & supply chain management and also Smart Grid, ESL and Agriculture. High volume consumer markets such as Mobile and Wireless Access Point markets, but also Automotive, are considering using DecaWave's technology for value added end-user applications.

 

After having shipped over 25 demonstration prototype kits to renowned companies that validated the DecaWave's technology, DecaWave is now introducing the first IEEE802.15.4a IC to the market with customer sampling started in January 2011.

 

DecaWave was founded in 2004, and is headquartered in Dublin Ireland, and has offices in Toulouse, France, and San Jose, CA. DecaWave is privately funded.
