Gapwaves waveguides is a novel technology for market leading performance in millimeter wave applications. The innovation lies in the patented Gapwaves waveguide technology with it’s unique capabilities in combining low losses with the cost-efficiency for high volumes production. This results in unique advantages compared to traditional transmission lines and waveguide designs. The technology is based on an Artificial Magnetic Conductor that enables contactless propagation of electromagnetic waves, significantly reducing transmission losses.
The customer is a US-based provider of advanced antenna technologies used to enable high performance wireless networking across a broad range of devices and markets, including access, enterprise, and automotive. The customer is now expanding its portfolio through development of products supporting 5G sub-6 and millimeter wave massive MIMO beamforming architectures.
As a part of the prototype development contract, Gapwaves will develop 28 GHz 5G repeater prototypes for deployment in the customer’s products. The order value for this development contract is ca 1 MSEK. With the deployment of 5G mm-wave telecommunication networks the need for repeater solutions is expected to grow significantly in order to enhance the coverage for street level hot spots, arenas and buildings.
Gapwaves CEO, Lars-Inge Sjöqvist, comments:
