San Jose, Calif.-based Wavion, which is backed by venture capital firm Sequoia Capital, says it has developed software and silicon that not only increase the transmission distance of a Wi-Fi signal, but also alleviate much of the signal loss so that fewer people need to deploy signal boosters.
"All the mesh Wi-Fi equipment makers use commodity chipsets developed for indoor use," said Alan Menezes, vice president of marketing and business development for Wavion. "People have stretched the current technology to use it outdoors, which is a tougher environment. We've developed something that provides the scalability necessary for true citywide deployments."
