Why it matters

Solving for issues like high power consumption can radically transform 5G communication

mmWave is a short-range, high-frequency network technology considered to be the next generation of 5G. It has more bandwidth on offer, which means faster speeds and more capacity for end-users. Solving remaining issues like coverage and high power consumption can transform wireless communication for good.

How it works

Solving for issues like high power consumption can radically transform 5G communication

milliBeam’s proprietary LEFT-BEAM technology addresses challenges such as mmWave 5G coverage and high-power consumption that arise from the limitations of semiconductor technologies at mmWave frequencies. The company hopes to boost radio signal range by a factor or 10 and increase energy efficiency to 25% and over in the next five years.

The WOW factor

The Wow Factor

LEFT-BEAM delivers higher transmit power and high energy-efficiency to support mmWave 5G peak data rates over greater distances. This will in turn enable telecommunication companies to to deploy mmWave 5G technology over scale in a cost-effective way and enhance global connectivity
