Dublin, Ireland-based-Decawave was founded in 2007 and has deployed more than 8 million chipsets in more than 40 different market verticals – from smartphones to drones. Decawave’s Impulse Radio UWB technology allows for position accuracy of a few centimeters, and with extremely low latency.
The Decawave team has become the Ultra-Wideband Business Unit (UWBU) within Qorvo Mobile Products. Decawave CEO Ciaran Connell will lead Qorvo’s UWBU team as its general manager.
Eric Creviston, president of Qorvo Mobile Products said, “We see tremendous opportunities for Decawave’s technology as UWB expands into new markets in mobile, automotive and industrial and consumer IoT.”
