Decawave

Decawave was launched in 2007 by current Ciaran Connell and CTO Michael McLaughlin, and was seen as a means of bringing a technology to market with the same impact as GPS had in the 1990s.

“We are thrilled to announce the acquisition of Decawave by Qorvo,” O’Connell said. “Joining forces with Qorvo’s leading expertise in radiofrequency technology, their experience in serving very high-volume markets like mobile but also the thousands of customers in industrial and enterprise is, for Decawave, a perfect combination to scale and further accelerate the adoption of IR-UWB.”

Eric Creviston, president of Qorvo mobile products, added: “We’re very pleased to welcome the Decawave team, which we believe will enhance Qorvo’s product and technology leadership while expanding new opportunities in mobile, automotive and IoT.

“We look forward to building on the groundbreaking work that Decawave has done and helping to drive new applications and businesses using their unique UWB capability.”
