About Socowave:

SOCOWAVE is a start-up company based in Ireland with its headquarters in the NovaUCD Innovation Park, Dublin, it's R&D centre is located in the National Software Centre in Cork, Ireland. The company is leading the development of innovative digital radio access network solutions based upon the Active Panel Antenna (embedded micro radio array plus spatial processing techniques).

Our Technology Domain:
Pioneered by Socowave, Wideband Spatial Division Multiple Access (WSDMA) is a new access scheme designed to provide a more stable and effective radio link between the mobile user and the digital base station (baseband). WSDMA technology complements multi-radio system solutions such as MIMO (phased array) and 'advanced MIMO' (active array) solutions. Robust wireless connectivity is assured through the use of radio array systems, which incorporate progressive calibration and beamforming techniques. It employs the unique combination of:

• Spatial Interference Filtering (SIF)
• Sub-Sector Diversity (SSD) Beamforming
• Sector Activity Monitoring (SAM)
