Anyone familiar with TD-UWB and how it effects Qcom?
ATLANTA, GEORGIA -- At the Venture Market South conference
on Tuesday, I sat in on Time Domain's presentation by CEO
Mark Petroff. He had a video that pitched the "new
dimension" in wireless data. It took me back to last year's
Venture Market East conference in Boston, at which the CEO
of Nexabit, Mukesh Chatter, talked about building routers
"about 100 times faster than anything Cisco has on the
market." Since then, the terabit router market has begun to
open up, and I have to credit visionaries like Mr. Chatter
who are unwilling to accept that a market must move at the
incumbent's pace.
Time Domain, potentially, has even more disruptive
technology. Its "time-modulated ultra-broadband wireless"
chip enables ultra-fast, ultra-low-power radio transmission.
It uses what's considered the "noise" of ordinary frequency
bands, so it doesn't even need traditional spectrum
allocation. On paper, it smokes the Bluetooth standard. Time
Domain has already raised $26 million, and judging by the
poker faces on the venture funders who met with Mr. Petroff
after his presentation, there's plenty more cash eager to
get behind this company. Watch this one.
