Years ago, Pivotal’s founders recognized that wireless demand for data would outgrow the complex coding, multiplexing and modulation schemes that network operators have deployed thus far. Beamforming was theanswer, but existing high cost, size, weight and power-consuming (C-SWaP) solutions were not. That’s why Pivotal assembled a team experienced in advanced commercial antenna and RF circuit design, advanced DARPA technology programs, and, uniquely, active/nonlinear metamaterials. Beyond technology, Pivotal also offers the depth and breadth of skills to develop integrated, end-to-end solutions.
