Pivotal Commware develops software-defined antennas and radios for network operators who want increased speed, capacity and spectral efficiency. Our breakthrough technology, Holographic Beam Forming™, offers the necessary cost, size, weight and power consumption (C-SWaP) to make military grade beamforming viable for commercial markets.
The explosive demand for wireless access is challenging the capacity of today’s broadband links. Network operators acknowledge that beamforming will be critical to meeting these challenges with existing spectrum. Pivotal Commware introduces a breakthrough in electromagnetic physics, Holographic Beam Forming™ (HBF). HBF offers the lowest cost, size, weight, and power solution available.
To keep pace with data demand, leading mobile operators anticipate the greater throughput and spectral efficiency associated with 5G beamforming. But cost-effective beamforming is here today using the lowest cost, size, weight and power solution available — Holographic Beam Forming (HBF). LTE network densification is well underway, and HBF allows mobile operators to go beyond remote electronic down-tilt. HBF slashes LTE operating costs associated with ongoing coverage optimization. The promise of self-optimizing networks — SON — is finally here.
Access-in-Motion™ (AIM) means ground-based – and ground-breaking – Internet access to planes, trains, automobiles, cruise ships, ferries – anything that carries people who want streaming instead of reading, hot-spots instead of not-spots. Pivotal combines totally electronic, flat panel antennas with sub-millisecond Directivity-on-Demand™ (DoD) beam switching so passengers can enjoy home and office WiFi speeds when they travel. And operators can drive additional revenue.
The primary cost driver of small cell backhaul and other point-to-point or multipoint applications is establishing and maintaining precise link alignment. That means truckrolls and more truckrolls. Pivotal’s holographic beamforming enables self-aligning, auto commissioning networks with remote control and management. For small cell backhaul in particular, Holographic Beam Formers will address aesthetic concerns by integrating into a variety of concealing form factors, including curved or other conformal shapes.
Cost, Size, Weight and Power consumption – C-SWaP – are crucial factors in low observable and portable communications used by military and civilian markets. Lowering costs is always important, but so is reducing Size, Weight and Power consumption, particularly for communicating with small drones. HBF can reduce a drone’s radar profile and expand its range and utility on a single charge.
